Pounding Pavement for Pay (and Change)

[twoskies]

Yesterday was my first day of work as a canvasser for moveon.org. I can't say that I work for the Obama campaign because of campaign finance laws; I mean, I *don't* work for the campaign, but I canvass people and try to get them to vote for Barak Obama, so take that as you will. I'm also 95% sure that I got a job as a administrator at Work for

I forgot to add yesterday, I have 51 voters.

Well, that sucks. I registered two homeless guys two days ago but it's always good to register a felon. Oh well. I kinda' hope I end up in North Carolina since I'd be able to crash with Sarah's sister.

Well, its because I'm going to be a director of an office there; which means I have to set up an office and what-not. I'll be responsible for recruiting local people once I'm there. But yeah, it's kinda' like the military: you're not sure why they *don't* need marines in Louisiana, but you also don't really have much say in the matter.

Wait, you're moving again? Wtf?

That's a really cool gig you got going there. I am thoroughly impressed even though you're working for the wrong side, you fucking communist!

Hehehe, I had a guy call me a communist the other day. I wear a MoveOn.org pin, so you tend to catch a little heat.

Yeah, the move would only be for the 40 some-odd days until the election; then I would move back to STL and hopefully continue to work for MoveOn until the end of the year when I'll probably go to law school.

Also, I earned my first Obama T-shirt today. You have to sign 20 voters in one day to get one, and yesterday I did 30 ;)
