Nationwide effort to unite and mobilize Democrats, Republicans, and independents ready for change in Washington, D.C.

CHICAGO –On Saturday, June 28, the Obama Campaign will kick off organizing efforts for the general election campaign by organizing more than 3,000 Unite for Change house meetings nationwide. In an effort to bring together Democrats, Republicans, and Independents to change politics in Washington, D.C., Americans from all walks of life will participate in Unite for Change organizing events held in homes in every state.

“One of the benefits of the long primary season is that we had an opportunity to campaign in every part of the country. And in all 50 states, people helped build an unprecedented grassroots organization that continues to grow to this day,” Senator Obama said. “This enthusiasm is about something bigger than any one candidate. It’s about our shared desire to change the way Washington does business. We are ready to move beyond the failed policies of George W. Bush and come together around common values that will lead us to a better future for all Americans. Through Unite for Change house meetings, friends and neighbors of various backgrounds will come together to organize and grow our grassroots movement for change.”

Unite for Change house meetings are an opportunity to bring together voters who supported Democratic candidates in the primary, but also independents and Republicans who are ready to turn the page on the failed policies of the past and commit to taking action this year. Gatherings will include not just Obama supporters, but anyone who's tired of the politics of the past and ready for change we can believe in.
