Some say Michelle’s speech was just okay.

 I think she delivered. I think she connected with mothers, parents, and everyone else who loves their family. She related with everyone who has worked hard to achieve their goals. She embraced Hillary showed us that she is warm and loving, and believes in helping others. 

She didn’t come off too strong, and yet she was strong.

Still others will continue to question her patriotism and anger because they have to poke holes where none exist.

Some say Michelle’s speech was just okay. I think it was great.

Let’s get Senator Obama elected as the next President of the United States. Karin Robinson, Obama for American Regional Field Director, will show us how we can help. Join us for a rare chance to meet the Obama staffer who educates and energizes expats in the UK and Scandinavia.

Karin will be discussing with us the Obama campaign’s unique organizing philosophy, the types of work that volunteers here can be doing, organizing grassroots events for the campaign, and targeting and measuring between now and election day.

This is a sudden opportunity that we take advantage of this Monday, August 25 at 6.30 PM to approximately 8.30 PM.

Fortunately, Paul Lappalainen and Steffan Nilsson of the Green Party were able to accommodate us at the last minute when we could not find another location in town. We will meet at the City Hall (stadshuset). Walk into the main entrance on the side of the building: Ragnar Östbergs Plan 1. Tell the guard that you are looking for Stefan Nilsson of the Green Party. Be sure to eat before you come.

Please join us if you possibly can – this is an important opportunity to learn how you can make a real difference in this election.

Sign up with Events Chair Roland Williams no later than 8:30 AM Monday morning, August 25th. For security reasons, we are required to supply the list of people coming. Email Roland at events.da.sweden@gmail.com. You will get an email confirmation.
