Volunteering- Post 1

• More than a month ago, me and a couple friends decided to go out and volunteer for the local office in support of Barack Obama. It was a sunny, Saturday morning on the 20th of September and we went over to the office, after losing our way for some reason, to see what work they would give us. We ended up getting a canvassing packet and going over to a nearby Herndon neighborhood to ring doorbells and ask people questions about who they would support in the coming election. We were also carrying Voter Registration Forms in case anyone we talked wasn't registered.
• So after we went through the packet, which took us two and a half hours or so, we then went back to give a tally sheet to the office official at the campaigning office. In the end we were somewhat disappointed that out of the 50 houses we went to, only about 15 actually answered, most of them already being Obama supporters. Though it wasn't too bad being out there in the nice weather with friends.
