Obama for America, Durham office open

by: Phillip Barron - March 29th, 2008   9 Comments

National attention is turning to the upcoming primaries in Pennsylvania and North Carolina; as Michael Bacon noted earlier, North Carolina’s primary will matter for the first time in recent memory.

Barack Obama’s national campaign folks are settling into their new digs in downtown Durham, spending the next few weeks registering voters. The headquarters officially opened today, and Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker came to Durham for the event. He was introduced by Durham resident and Durham Public Schools teacher Nancy O. Gallman, and you can see photos and listen to the opening message here — audio slideshow of the office opening.

  • April 11th, deadline to register to vote and be eligible to vote in the primary
  • April 17th — May 3rd, One-Stop Voting (“early voting”)
  • May 6th, North Carolina primary

    Thanks for the post. Do you have an address for the office? Also, where can I go to get information on campaign activities and volunteer opportunities in Durham? I’m on the national campaign website regularly, and I joined the NC for Obama listserv on the site, but I never see anything posted for Durham County. Maybe I’m not looking in the right place?

    The Durham folks were up here in Person County on Monday night. Go to http://my.barackobama.com . You should be able to connect with them there. If not, the coordinator can be reached by email (he gave this out at the meeting so I don’t think he’ll mind): mabdallah AT barackobama DOT com

    How can I help? I do not want to make phone calls or ask for money, but I’d be willing to do other things.

    Hi, I would like to get an Obama/Biden poster to put on my home front yard. How do I get one?

    I’d go down to the Obama office. 112 West Main St. They should have one to sell to/give you.
