NEXT STEPS for Canadians for Obama 

Well now that we’ve gotten Obama elected, what do we do next? We got some great ideas to channel all this empowerment and energy:

1. Volunteer in your community. Now that you’ve been re-energized and feel all this power to do good,  let’s go out and change the world!
Great article in the NY times:

Mr. Obama doesn’t have to tell anyone what to do, only to do something good. All you phone-bank callers and door-to-door volunteers, you envelope stuffers and canvassers, who worked countless hours and now may have a little time and energy left over: Help homeless and hungry people. Work for an environmental organization, a food pantry or a community garden, or all three.

2. Help Obama rebuild America. If you’re interested please email us and we’ll let the Obama staff know.

3. Go to Inauguration. If you’re interested in going South January 20th, 2009 to see Obama give his first speech as President, let us know. but tix will be hard to find [check this story]. If you live in the Ontario/Quebec area there is a group already organizing to go down:

4. Help the Canadians Political System! Get in touch with your municipal, provincial or federal parties to help out where you can - we need all the help we can get our own country rebuilt! Email us and we can give you some leads.

CANADIANS FOR OBAMA MEET-UP IN WASHINGTON DC

Democrats Abroad Canada is organizing a meet-up for people from Canada attending the Obama inauguration. We will meet outside the security perimeter at the Third and C Streets NW security check-point. Closest Metro stop is Judiciary Square on the Red Line, which is two blocks north of the security check-point. Michael Meneer of Democrats Abroad Canada will be at/near the intersection holding a Canadian flag starting at 8:30 a.m. Around 9:00 a.m. we will have some brief remarks from Democrats Abroad leaders, then proceed together to find a good viewing location for the swearing in.
