Thank You Volunteers and Supporters
Thank you to everyone over the past twenty months who participated and contributed to the Obama campaign. We were successful and Yes We Can!
Obama Santa Cruz started as one of the first grass-roots organizations in California supporting Senator Obama in February, 2007. Initially started by 9 individuals who were inspired by Senator Obama the organization grew quickly to 50 supporters at its first organizing meeting. Later that spring many more joined the organization following a Camp Obama training event.
Today, we are over 350 active volunteers who worked relentlessly during the general election and over 3,000 Obama supporters. We thank everyone for your contribution and our volunteers who traveled and made the important voter calls during the general election.
The California cross-border strategy, supporting the must win states of Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado, was well conceived by the Obama campaign and executed by our teams flawlessly. We delivered our state and provided the funding and critical human resources to win NV, NM and Colorado. Everyone realizes the significance of our accomplishments and can be very proud of our contributions to these wins.
