Mom to Aly Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I am so excited! I worked for the democratic party for 3 years a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (NY--I am now in VA). I have never taken my daughter to anything political. I just found out there is an Obama rally next week, not too far from me, and, if I can get a ride (I don't have a car), we can go! I am beyond excited!!! Does that sound silly? I don't like to ask for prayers for things--I don't like to get into other people's religious space, and I do feel God has much more important things to do, but best wishes would be appreciated!

Michelle T Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 My guy would LOVE to go and see Obama. He keeps asking if any debates will be happening in our town. Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justme Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have taken my kids to political rallies before and had a lot of fun. My middle dd12 really loves them (she's kind of into history and politics) and has asked to go to one this year if possible. Either I or my parents will take her if we can. Just not for (ahem) Obama.

Old Dominion Heather Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 That is cool. He was in my town a few weeks ago and my sister and BIL and cousins all got to go. I was so jealous, and none of us are even voting for him! But hey, why would anyone pass up an opportunity to see a possible future POTUS? I hope you get to go! She would remember it for the rest of her life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 POTUS? What's that? .... DUH....I think I figured it out! PresidentOfTheUnitedStates? :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherZee Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Oh I am jealous! Several friends have managed to see him speak and came away from it even more blown away than they had been before. It will be a memory for life for both you and your daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erica in PA Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I am so excited! I worked for the democratic party for 3 years a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (NY--I am now in VA). I have never taken my daughter to anything political.

I don't like to ask for prayers for things--I don't like to get into other people's religious space, and I do feel God has much more important things to do, but best wishes would be appreciated! I hope you'll get to go, Aly!! It will be a great memory for your and your dd. I was *so excited* to go to the McCain/Palin rally this coming Tuesday, went and picked up tickets for our whole family yesterday-- then this morning I remembered that we have plans to babysit for some friends that day. :sad: So, we'll have to hope there will be another one near us sometime before the election. It's possible, because PA is a popular state for campaigning. But I hope it works out for you!! Erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 She will remember this event for the rest of her life! Studying history and "living" history are not the same thing! I don't support Obama (no offense), but I can sense your excitement and hope you all have a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peek a Boo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I don't think it's silly at all! i think it is really important to get to hear the candidates speak --especially when it is someone we like :D We went to a Ron Paul rally, but i wasn't really impressed w/ his public speaking skills. like his ideas, but I'd rather READ them and see his votes. We went to an Obama rally [that same week!] in Dallas when he was still campaigning against Hillary. It only reinforced what i already thought, but it was definitely interesting :) very well organized tho-- I was impressed! i just wish they had portapotties closer than the hotel two blocks down... :glare: and i hope hope hope that they do NOT introduce him as "a man with the integrity of Kennedy" anymore.......... that did not help his case here, lol. ;) kennedy? which kennedy? what kind of integrity?
