Wilder launches Obama voter drive
Mayor Wilder appeared at the Obama campaign’s new Virginia headquarters at 1208 West Marshall Street to announce a voter registration drive:
Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder announced yesterday that the Obama campaign has a goal of registering 151,000 prospective new voters over the next three months. That would be 1,000 more than Obama himself helped register as a community organizer in Chicago before he ran for office.
a lovely young man named Cy registered me. so i know they got at least one person. he was located in a good spot, i thought, a bus stop on Broad Street. i wished him luck, but warned him to be careful there, after dark especially.
Thanks for including the details of where Obama’s hq is. Do people go there to register?
I reckon they’d be able to get you registered to vote. You could also get registered at city hall.
You can Register to Vote and apply for Restoration of Rights at the Yes We Can Town Hall Meeting on July 22, at Ebenezer Baptist Church 216 W. Leigh Stree. It starts at 6 P.M.
