On the weekend of March 3rd and 4th, Barack Obama supporters from across Massachusetts will be reaching out to let people across the state know that they will be able to vote for Barack Obama for President on this coming Tuesday, March 6th. We will be talking about what this President has done to restore economic security for the middle class and how this is work that needs to continue for another term. This work will help the campaign build the army of grassroots supporters that we will need to win in 2012. Meet us at 10am in Medford, MA at Whole Foods parking lot.

Matt Hartunian will be the speaker. In December, Ed Markey appointed Matt as the Political and Finance Director of The Markey Committee. This past election Matt was responsible for running Massachusetts’ 7th District’s coordinated Get Out The Vote (GOTV) effort. He organized a thousand volunteers in an unprecedented coordinated campaign. It was the best GOTV operation ever executed in the 7th district and it was all due to Matt’s outstanding leadership and organizational skills.
The January 12 City Committee meeting has been canceled due to weather. Matt Hartunian, who was scheduled to speak, will speak instead at the March meeting (Wednesday, March 9, at Medford City Hall).
