Brooklyn Sting: Barack the Phone Banks

November 3rd, 2008 | Neighborbee, New York, Politics

The following post originally appeared on Neighborbee on November 3, 2008. I ended up making phone calls to Pennsylvania, Florida, Virginia, and Nevada, and all four states went blue.

We interrupt the usual Brooklyn coverage to bring you some important election information. This is a historic election, and arguably the most important election of our lifetimes. It is crucial that everyone votes on Tuesday, but there is more that you can do to turn the rest of the country a little bluer. I spent time this weekend making phone calls at Obama’s New York headquarters, and I was surprised by how much fun it was. The energy in the room is incredible–everyone is there to affect the outcome of this election.
