The Obama campaign in Minnesota has reached out to us and needs our help.

Typically a "blue state", Minnesota has become a battleground state for several reasons:

1) the McCain campaign is very aggressive 2) The Republican convention is in Minnesota and the GOP hopes to get a good bump out of it. We're going to have a fight on our hands!

If you are adventurous and have some time to travel to Minnesota, the campaign will find you lodging with local supporters. The contact person is Mehdi Alhassani, the regional field director for the Minneapolis area. You can reach him at mehdi33@gmail.com or 612 743-0307.
