Our very own David Broockman, Obama delegate and Obama Works member, has been featured on the front page of BarackObama.com!

David is only 19, but you wouldn’t know it from the length of his resume. Growing up in Texas, he completed over 2,300 hours of community service. He was involved with the Dean and Kerry campaigns in 2004, knocking on doors and making phonecalls from local offices. He later interned for Congressman Lloyd Doggett before moving to Connecticut for school.

It was in Connecticut that David became involved in our campaign through…Obama Works, which does community service as they help to spread Barack Obama’s message of real change.

On our site, David makes a bit of a cameo in the “Why Obama Works” video here, as he helps clean up New Haven.  Congrats, David, on being elected a delegate and being featured on the Obama site–enjoy Denver!

All,

Today, we’re proud to announce Obama Works’ latest project: the Obama Works / Democrats Work National Day of Service!

On September 6th, people across the nation will come together to create positive change, and show the country what a motivated, inspired group of citizens can achieve.  Senator Obama once commented that the government must meet the people halfway, that we won’t thrive without a strong investment to our communities by both groups.  If either doesn’t live up to their end of the bargain - if government is neglectful, or the people apathetic and disinterested - the project of our communities will fail.

We want to be an example of what it is to be invested in our communities.   And we’re asking for your help in doing it.  In fact, we need it.  As David, Justin and I said in our newsletter this morning, without you, the three of us would just be three guys sweeping up a street corner on September 6th.   So, check out the Day of Service page on our site, see if there’s an event planned in your area - and if there’s not, shoot us an email, and we’ll work together to see if we can’t fix that.

Together, we can.

Good news!

Thanks to the generosity of Phillip Bump out of New York, we are proud to report that both obamaworks.com and obamaworks.org now reach our website.   Don’t try to email us there just yet, but in a few days that should be working as well.

Don’t worry, though, whyobamaworks.com and .org will still work fine, as will all of our email addresses there.

P.S. Stay tuned either today or tomorrow for a big announcement.

Paul
