*** 1/26 Obama for America "Build The Hope" @ Home" Training ***
(for VA, DC and MD volunteers)
Yes, you can do help from the comfort of your own home.....join a conference call with Matt Loveless of the Obama campaign to learn how to use and enter data into the Build the Hope database.

We will then assign you calls to volunteers and Early States as well as other database-related tasks to do wherever you have your computer. The best part is when you get a user name you get credit for every call and data entry you make!

We're currently calling NV, SC and potential DC-area volunteers by phone and email to help us with our Early State and Chesapeake (VA/DC/MD) Primary get-out-the-vote activities.

All you need to attend is a phone (preferably with a speaker phone capability) and a computer with Internet access. The Obama for America trainings take about an hour and takes place 7pm ET Tuesdays and 3pm ET Saturdays.

Virginia for Obama & DC for Obama volunteers can also provide trainings upon request.

Please RSVP for a conference call number and password or to schedule a special training at your convenience.
