Obama Rally in Northern Colorado Springs
Oct 24th, 2008 by nick
As the polls are now open in Colorado, we had a fun early-voting rally for Barack Obama yesterday here in Northern Colorado Springs. About 60 of us first gathered near Starbucks on Academy:
We then walked over to the Chapel Hills Mall, site of the polling place:
We assembled in the mall parking lot (safely outside the 100 foot limit for campaigning near a polling place):
After removing our Obama pins and leaving our signs behind, S. and I dropped off our mail-in ballots. Others in the rally also dropped off ballots or filled out a ballot on the voting computers.
The reception to the rally was generally positive, with quite a few people driving by vociferously honking their support. I think we showed that Northern Colorado Springs doesn’t belong exclusively to Focus on the Family and their ilk!
Thanks for the post and the pix. I was one of the guys there yesterday. Mind if I grab your pix for the blog I run at http://vo1ce.info?
GO OBAMA!
