Obama Campaign Launches “Nebraska for Obama” Website
Unprecedented Online Grassroots Organizing Effort Empowers Nebraskans Statewide to Support Obama
OMAHA, NE – The Obama campaign today officially launched the campaign’s Nebraska grassroots organizing website, NE.BarackObama.com. This website will be used by Nebraskans as key tool to register to vote, organize local Obama events, build on the grassroots volunteer network, and add to the growing base of support for Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s campaign to bring about real, meaningful change.
“The Obama campaign’s grassroots online organizing tools are unprecedented for a presidential campaign – Democratic or Republican – here in Nebraska,” said Matt Connealy, Executive Director of the Nebraska Democratic Party. “This year Nebraskans have a unique opportunity to make a major impact on the course of this historic election. By empowering Nebraskans across the state to be agents of change, the Obama campaign is well on their way to victory.”
On NE.BarackObama.com, the “My Events” tool provides Nebraskans with a search engine to find Obama events and volunteer opportunities in their area, and the Nebraska campaign blog gives visitors a daily update on the Obama activity on the ground in the state.
Even more, the website has a “Vote for Change” page where Nebraskans can get registered to vote, apply to vote absentee, and seek information on their early vote location.
Finally, Obama’s Nebraska website provides visitors with information on policy positions from the economy to the war in Iraq, and links to live video streaming of Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s events on a daily basis.
This online organizing tool complements Obama’s grassroots organizing events in Omaha this past weekend, including a citywide canvass on Saturday where volunteers knocked thousands of doors, and Sunday’s DNC “Register for Change” voter registration drive where hundreds of Nebraskans registered to vote.
