My fellow Indenpendent Neighborhood Democrats board member, Tom, has been doing wonderful work organizing voter registration events in Pennsylvania. His last effort sounds particularly successful. We all were inspired by Obama's speech at the Convention, (note...the republican convention really seems a bust, doesn't it?). If you want to help bring the dream to a reality, you can join his next effort on September 13th. Here is Tom's latest message:

Dear Friends,

Two weeks ago I asked you to, "Get on the Bus" to Pennsylvania for Barack Obama. Guess what? So many of you responded, Trans-Bridge Bus Lines, which services Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, had to give us a second bus.

Here's what you did this past Saturday in the Easton area:

You knocked on 2,166 doors
You spoke to 732 people
You registered 114 new voters

In 62 days Americans will decide what kind of country and what kind of world we want for ourselves and our children. I want each of you to look to the left, look to the right, grab whoever you see. Tell them to wake up. Tell them it's time. Sixty-two days. If they ask you what time it is, tell them the time is NOW. Tell them:

It's time to do something for working people.
It's time to do something for our kids.
It's time do something for teachers and cops and firemen.

Tell them the time is NOW because we have…

Only 62 days to say yes to health care coverage for all Americans.
Only 62 days to say no to a widening gap between the rich and the rest of us.
Only 62 days to say yes to ending occupation in Iraq responsibly.
Only 62 days to say no to a world at war for 100 years.
Only 62 days to change America.

And that's not a lot of time, so grab the person next to you and "Get on the Bus."

We depart from Port Authority Bus Terminal (South Terminal, 8th Ave. btwn 40th & 41st St.), Saturday morning, September13th, aboard Trans-Bridge Bus Lines. Please arrive at the gate no later than 8:30 am to guarantee yourself a seat. The bus to Easton should depart from Gate 4 or 6. Please arrive early to purchase your ticket on the South Terminal main floor and make your way downstairs to the gate. Bus tickets are $37.95 round trip. Buses return at 4:05 and 6:10 pm. The ride is about 1 hour 40 minutes.

Thank you to everyone for your time and commitment. Please RSVP so I can provide a headcount to Obama's team in the Lehigh Valley.

Very best wishes,

Tom Predhome
