Team Obama Holding 2,000 Events This Weekend to Push for Campaign Volunteers

PHILADELPHIA (The Blaze/AP) — One year out from the 2012 election, President Barack Obama’s re-elect team is making a major push for volunteers — including a whopping 2,000 recruiting events this weekend alone.


It’s all part of an effort to rebuild the massive net of supporters that helped propel Obama in 2008. The president’s approval ratings have dropped precipitously and show no signs of rebounding amid a struggling economy.

This weekend’s events will include neighborhood gatherings, one-on-one meetings in coffeehouses, phone banks, voter registration drives, door-to-door voter canvassing and house parties throughout the country. Supporters anywhere in the country can find the gatherings closest to them simply by entering their zip code on Obama’s website.
