Our first day in Denver

Saturday, August 23, 2008
After unpacking this morning because our bags came in on a later flight John and I went to have breakfast at a great local restaurant sitting out side watching the people walk by. Then we met up with the National Hillary Delegate group at their hospitality suite. I joined the initial small group to help make sure that Hillary’s name got into nomination. We circulated petitions in all 50 states and the territories via email to Hillary delegates. They had to take the petition and get it notarized and return it to the group. Many people helped so much on getting over 350 petitions returned, and more are coming in. A special thanks goes to Michele Thomas (CA), John West (Chicago), Suzanne Geier (TX), John Siegel (CA), Daniel Kagan (Denver), and Sue Castner (OR). It was so great to meet people who I only knew via
email. As people started to drop by from other states to get their “300 button” the room started to get louder with the excitement of people voices happy to meet each other. I met acouple of the delegates from South Dakota that I sent the petition to thanks to Holly Millar who introduced me to her friend Marc (a delegate) from SD).John was shooting some video of the team members and they explain in their own words what they were able to accomplish. This will be posted when we get home so come back to my blog.

At 3 PM, I officially registered as a Hillary Delegate and received my packet of information and given two big bags of California political goodies....Yippee!!! A photo of me on the bed with the booty will be posted also.
