Obamamercial for Obamerica!
By the end of the 30 minute "infomercial" put on all the major stations by the Obama campaign tonight- I was on my knees, in tears, praying to God that I would do anything- I will do anything these last 6 days- to ensure an Obama presidency- and for the good of the nation and more importantly the world- that Obama will lead and inspire for at least the next four years.
I hope you saw it. I hope you watch it again.
This was truly the "This is who Barack Obama is" moment that one of my friends has been clamoring for and hoping he would unleash - it showed his background. His development. The American stories that he cares about and the deep rooted pain he seeks to heal in the suffering middle class and disadvantaged in this country.
This is our moment- my generation's moment- to step up and set our country on a better path. It's gonna take a lot of hard work- it's going to take a lot of unifying a very divided country. I suddenly have felt a surge of hope that it is possible. I want to stay. I want to work. I want to do what is necessary to ensure our Democracy stays strong and reflects to the world what is possible when good people care about their brothers and sisters both in their neighborhoods- and across the globe.
Please- if you have an hour- if you have half a day- if you have a whole day- go volunteer for Obama.

More from Gary.
I am waiting outsde the Gary courthouse as Ms. Pat Haley stands in line to vote. Her back and knees ache as she waits for the coiled line to inch up to the section of folding chairs.
Outside the courthouse, this steel monument marks the centennial celebration of this city in 2006. "The Fusion" stands proud surrounded by steel grated benches, planters, and garbage containers. For a downtown, it is desolate on this sunny and brisk afternoon. Ms. Haley regaled me with stories from Gary's Hey-day maybe 40 years ago; when you can wakey around downtown to Sears, jewelry stores, go see a movie, and get all your shopping done. Once Merrillville opened up just 10 miles to the Sout, the stores fled looking for new, more affluent, white blood.
Ms. Haley though was born and bred here, raising 5 children and decided to stay teaching in Gary. Her children too, have all stayed, raising families, running busnesses, and teaching in this town.
There is hope here. So much potential. Gary is not the frightening murderous placit was a decade or so earlier- thereis regroth that just needs some nurturing and the right tools to develop. Ms. Haley thinks town like Gary have a chance if Obama is elected- he understands- he won't pass us by- her eyes get big when she talks about voting this time around.

Keep on keepin' on- even in snow showers
Here's the "Obamarama Knockouts" international staff team with Anna Burger, Secretary-General of SEIU and President of Change To Win labor federation. Anna came to give the staff here an update from around the country about all the amazing work being done in 25 states.
It is beyond exciting to think that many of these long standing deep-red states are now light blue or in the toss-up pile. Indiana definitely qualifies in that category- having voted Republican since 1964.
The latest polls show Obama up about 5 or 6 points in the state- whereas the NW region is up 30 points. It is up to us to bring every single voter out to early vote for Obama and open up time on election day to vote as many people as possible.
On the ground - we are triple visiting turf- walking the same streets and some folks are getting tired, some are coming down with colds with the change of weather, and others just getting quiet. I don't think there is any time for that. We are part of history every day we are out here playing a role in this election. I guess it's my job to now inspire my hard-working team to keep up the excitement and spirit of hope.
Oh, and snow showers are expected today. Though the low is 43 degrees. Does anyone want to explain that to me?

Victory for Voters! Early Voting will stay open in Lake County
Very good news came to the field yesterday afternoon- the Indiana Superior Court judge ruled that early voting satellite locations in Lake County can and will remain open through November 1.
Every day we were unsure as to if the sites would even be open when we arrived with an eager first time voter, or elderly person needing time and assistance to vote. Now, we can celebrate knowing that the GOP's tactic of voter suppression in this heavily democratic area will not succeed in delaying or deterring voters.
The judge, who took a walk-through of the satellite voting offices on Monday, made the point in her ruling that many people were voting (in fact, 1700+ in the first 4 days!) and that all the early votes will count.
That was a huge concern of voters here as GOP lawyers were perpetuating fear that their votes could be tossed if a negative ruling came down. While most elected officials in Lake County have already voted, we knew there was no way votes would be thrown away.
To see what I'm doing out here- check out this local CBS clip of one of our member political organizers (MPO) in the field recruiting people to early vote!

Imagine
I want you to imagine a town where Neo-Nazis pull guns on community organizers who are trying to provide rides to the polls for elderly and disabled citizens.
Imagine a city ripped apart by jobs going over seas, closed factories and mills, and where "economic crisis" is a not a new catch phrase.
Try to imagine a court house that turns away a 93-year-old World War II veteran from voting who showed up with a Veterans Affairs ID, because they didn't believe a black woman could be a vet, and thought she stole the card.
Think of a street where every other house is abandoned, boarded up, foreclosed, or run down.
Envision a shopping mall where young children sell candy bars outside-not for a sports team, boy scout troop, or youth group- but in order to raise money to help pay their grandma's bills.
Yet despite all of the rampant poverty, broken community, and voter disenfranchisement ongoing in Gary, Indiana there are also some other moments I'd like to leave in your memory.
Imagine an office where community organizers come to work day in and day out despite the racial slurs, violence, and history of oppression that their neighborhoods face.
A town where home care nurses, care givers, and younger family members go out of their way to get registration forms, absentee ballots, and voter information for the elderly and disabled.
Turn on the TV to see early voting sites overflowing with voters because they just can't wait until election day to cast their vote for the first candidate they've ever believed could actually bring beneficial change to their families.
Put together a team of 150+ people who at the sound of "Fired up?!" will automatically and enthusiastically reply "Ready to go!" and set off to do the most important job they've ever had set before them.
The dream team of organizers, union members, SEIU staff, and volunteers are truly defending the rights of voters who have for too long faced disenfranchisement in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago.

Heading out for Elirose
In International President Andy Stern's speech sending us out to go turn Indiana blue- he called on our hearts to reach to the depths of our hearts in memory of fired Nova janitor Elirose Pierre Louis.
In an impassioned calling he said he was knocking doors today so that never again will a hard working woman be forced out of her job for standing up for a union, driven to work in the fields at age 52 without health care, and die needlessly. We are all turning voters out for Obama today in her memory.

No news is not good news
We haven't heard anything about the federal hearing regarding opening early voting sites in NW Indiana.
Stay tuned, the hearing is set for today.
Yesterday I was out at the Save More supermarket in Gary, Indiana where voters were upset that their voice was being diminished. Over and over voters yesterday remarked "I can't drive to Crown Point," and "You won't be seeing me at Crown Point." Not only because they didn't have transportation- but also because of what Crown Point represents. The KKK has a stronghold in Crown Point, and most folks in Gary and Hammond rather take their chances and wait for November 4.
SEIU is offering rides for these disenfranchised voters, but it isn't easy to convince them to jump in the car with strangers for early voting- a new method to NW Indiana. People are skeptical that their vote will not count, and unsure why they should vote early instead of waiting to go to their poll on the 4th.
I had 6 people sign up for rides yesterday, and 3 said they would volunteer for the campaign. Not a bad day. I think our volume will only increase from here.
After the rush at the supermarket died down, my partner for the day and long-time Gary resident Mr. Thurman took me over to see the "finer side of this town." We drove through Miller and over to Lake Michigan. It was a perfect day, mid 70s and sunny. You could see the stunning Chicago skyline across the lake. I've included some photos below.

Disenfranchisement in NW Indiana continues
You might have heard already, but the Republicans have effectively shut down 3 early voting sites in Lake County of northwest Indiana, only keeping one site at Crown Point, a more affluent area in the southern part of the county, open for early voting.
It was a dirty trick-- Republicans rushing in the Friday before early voting was set to start and heading off to a Republican judge Calvin Hawkins who granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) against satellite voting sites opening.
SEIU along with other unions and progressive organizations have filed suit with the state and federal boards- calling for hearings to open early voting sites and stop the GOPs attempts at disenfranchising a largely minority and lower-income community.
So as we wait for a decision to come down Friday (was supposed to be Thursday but one of the attorneys has health issues- let me guess, the attorney representing the GOP interests) there are some things we all can do in the meantime to stand up for voting rights of all citizens (from Daily Kos).
I'll keep you updated as I hear anything on the ground here- but regardless of what decision comes down, community organizers on the ground in Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago are prepared to run "bus routes" with our cars to take these voters the hour+ round trip to the only early voting site and ensure they have every opportunity to vote.
I have never seen people more committed to getting their neighbors and family members engaged in this political discussion- everyone I encounter understands the severity of this election.

"We believe the citizens of Gary, Hammond and East Chicago have absolutely the right to the same services as the citizens of Crown Point," Bolling said.
Lake County Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Arredondo ruled Monday that the three sites should be opened immediately, though U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Van Bokkelen had set a hearing on the issue for later this week.

Last Voter Registration Day
Quick update:
Today is the last day that people can register to vote in Indiana, Florida, and I'm sure quite a few other states. We are doing everything we can to ensure people in Northwest Indiana who are eligible are signed up and encouraged to vote. Ev-er-y-thing.
I've shouted out the car at passersby, checked around every entrance and exit to strip malls and big box stores (before getting kicked out by police or threatened by store managers), trolled parking lots, liquor stores, check cashing stores, diners, soul food restaurants, and fast food joints.
We have stood in the rain, the cold, the dark and fought through hours at a time without finding a single person needing to change an address or register for the first time. But whenever we get down we do a little gut check- each in our own way- reminding ourselves of why we are doing this. When one of us is down, someone else will be the cheerleader. It's nice having a team that meshes so well- a very unlikely team of friends.
Photo: This is the team of folks I work with on a daily basis- a mix of SEIU retirees, Local 73 and HCI members, and organizers from around the country.
On Saturday there was a larger push out here-- members, staff, and officers of Local 1 in Chicago, HCI (health care local), and others from Local 73 came out in mass and spread out by bus to neighborhoods and other locations all across the area. With their help, we hit our goal of 6,000 new registrations.
It is impressive, considering that we are not the only group out here signing folks up. The Obama campaign, other progressive organizations, school groups, fraternities, churches, and others have been sending volunteers out nearly as fervently as SEIU.
Well I'm off, but tomorrow is our day off- so be sure to check back for more.

A "Mighty Fine" Day
We started our daily meeting with prayer- for our safety, for good results, for the continuance of blessings on all of us.
Before I knew it I was paired up with Mr. Jones and Emily* and we were out the door with a stack of registration forms. Mr. Jones is a real character- a retired school maintenance and janitorial worker, he has lived in Gary, Indiana for upwards of 40 years. He knows this town inside and out, and everyone knows him. He yaps away, saying plenty of things that only an old man can get away with, and always responds that things are "mighty fine." In one conversation, he can pull out this phrase at least 5 times.
Emily is a first generation American. Her parents moved here from Nigeria to attend college. We shared the same major and focus in college (Yay anthropology majors!), a similar work ethic and need to be busy to be happy, and I'm sure with some more time together a real friendship is waiting to blossom (collective "awww" inserted here).
Well I was surprised when our first stop of the day was to a soul food buffet. Being the newbie out in the field, my strategy is to go with the flow and see each member political organizer as my teacher. Over piles of mac 'n cheese, liver and gravy, greens, corn bread, and peach cobbler I started to learn a little bit about the SEIU members and organizers who have all given up their normal lives to help get Obama elected.
After second heaping portions, we wrapped up our conversations and headed out to register voters. A few groups went over to "The Village" shopping center. A run-down strip mall with maybe 15 stores horse-shoed around a large, mostly empty parking lot, The Village certainly did not look like prime pickings for voters.
Apparently, most folks here are registered, as the team hit up the FEMA flood disaster relief lines the past few days. I got lucky and the first man I spoke to needed to register. I filled out the form as he held his hot dog and newspaper. Yes! First one down. I was pumped.
An hour passed and we found that the other groups had set up tables inside and were catching most of the people. Hm. No where else to go Mr. Jones? Not really.
Emily and I started paroling the parking lot. A FedEx truck rolled in and I figured I'd ask- woo- a disenfranchised voter- he didn't even want to vote. I started rattling off issues that he would likely care about. After a few trips in and out- he got the point I wasn't leaving him alone. "Hey hold this box for me and I'll fill out your little form." I started asking him questions. Name. Date of Birth. Address. "You have until I get into the truck and drive away to finish." I quickly filled in the rest and got his signature. Phew- I can only hope when the card comes in the mail, he'll think about it and actually go to vote.
A trickle of people all day kept us engaged- and one man I signed up was head to toe decked out in 'Canes gear. Other than that, it was slow.
At the end of the day each person in my team collected 8 registration forms. I'm torn. I don't know the area- I don't know the "hot spots" but surely there is a better way to find other potential voters out there!
Well, I am going to still go with the flow today and see if I can push people to think of other ways we can get more forms-- a different neighborhood, driving farther out, switching locations, at least splitting up all the teams to different spots? I don't want to be the new girl who thinks she has all the answers-- but I desperately want us to turn out the maximum number of people to vote Obama!
(suggestions welcome- add them in the comments!)

Registering voters at the village mall in Gary
It's payday in town so we are stationed at a strip mall. So far I have collected 2 applications. I'm hoping the crowds pick up soon.
