Thank you to all our Texas volunteers. Take a few days off after working so hard for the last year. No one thought we could win Texas, and yet we actually won the most delegates.
After March 4, Obama still has a huge 100+ lead in the pledged delegate count. But this nomination is far from over, and we still need your help!
Please re-direct your grassroots energy toward the upcoming nomination states. Take a few days off, but please mark your calendars and get ready to get back to work. We'll win this nomination the old-fashioned way...by making more phone calls and knocking on more doors.
Yes we can!

Fellow Austinites,
The lines will be long on Election Day next Tuesday, so do yourself a favor and vote early today. Austin City Hall is an early voting location, so avoid the Election Day rush and vote for Obama today!
If you can't make it down to San Antonio for the Obama rally, then you're invited to our local neighborhood block party tonight at Victory Grill to celebrate the end of early voting. We'll have great music, food, children's activities & much more...and it's FREE!
Our party will also feature special guest Max Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy, and several local elected officials. Hope to see you tonight!
Best regards,
Mike Martinez
Austin City Council
What:
* Kids for Obama activities, including a moonbounce
* Rides to early voting locations (polls close at 7:00pm)
* Live Music featuring Johnny Degollado, Bad Mickey Ficky & Cyril Neville
* Free admission - Food & beverage provided
When:
5:00 - 9:00pm
Friday, February 29th
Where:
Victory Grill
1104 East 11th Street
Austin, TX 78702
Live Music:
5:00pm - Kids for Obama Presentation

Featured Speakers:
Lloyd Doggett, Kirk Watson, Mark Strama, Sheryl Cole, Mike Martinez, Brwester McCracken, Sam Biscoe, Ron Davis, Bruce Elfant...and Special Guest Max Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy.
Tomorrow, we're asking all our supporters to roll up your sleeves and volunteer. The Clinton campaign has the endorsements from much of the Texas political establishment, and Obama can't win Texas without your grassroots help. The pundits have said that Texas is the Clinton "firewall", so we have to work hard on the grassroots level to pull off the big upset. We want Saturday (3/1) to be the biggest volunteer block-walking day in Texas history. There's nothing more effective than neighbors talking to neighbors, so please volunteer and make a difference. You can sign up to become a precinct captain at www.texasprecinctcaptains.com, or you can swing by one of our Austin campaign offices:
1) Downtown Headquarters - 816 Congress Ave., Suite #200, 78701
2) East Austin - 1309 Rosewood Ave., 78702
3) UT Campus (Dobie Mall) - 2025 Guadalupe, Suite #142, 78705
If you have any questions, please contact the campaign headquarters at (512) 476-2008.
Just a couple of months ago, Clinton had a 30-point lead in Texas. But with some hard work over the next few days, we can shock the world and turn Texas into Obama Country.
Yes We Can y Si Se Puede!
