Rally Cry For Obama Visit

Dem strategists want to make sure Barack enters a packed Arena at Harbor Yard Saturday afternoon. From the Democratic National Committee:

Organizing for America Volunteers to Hold Phone Bank in Hartford to Engage Voters, Invite Area Residents to Rally with the President

HARTFORD, CT – Organizing for America volunteers will hold a “Moving America Forward” phone bank at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, October 27th in Hartford to engage voters and invite area residents to President Obama’s “Moving America Forward” rally in the Bridgeport on Saturday. The phone bank is part of OFA’s ongoing work reaching out to first time 2008 voters, sporadic voters, and Democratic base voters to support Democrats up and down the ballot this fall.

At the rally, President Obama will lay out the choice voters face this November: whether to support Democratic leaders and continue to make progress for Connecticut families and small businesses—or to return to the failed, Bush-era policies that nearly drove the nation into a second Great Depression.

The Bridgeport rally will be the 8th in a series of “Moving America Forward” events with the President. The President has held events in Madison, WI; Philadelphia, PA; Washington, DC; Columbus, OH; Los Angeles, CA; and Las Vegas, NV. As part of “get-out-the-vote” efforts this coming weekend, President Obama will also attend events in Philadelphia, PA and Chicago, IL on October 30 and in Cleveland, OH on October 31. Previous “Moving America Forward” rallies drew tens of thousands of supporters and have been credited with energizing Democrats and improving poll numbers for candidates.

Saturday’s rally with President Obama will be held at the Arena at Harbor Yard located at 600 Main Street in Bridgeport. Doors open at 1:00 PM. The event is free and open to the public and while tickets are not required an RSVP is encouraged. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. To RSVP, please visit: ct.barackobama.com/BridgeportRally. Event attendees are encouraged to use public transportation as parking will be limited. The arena is located 2 blocks from the Bridgeport Metro North Train Station which is on the New Haven Line.

  2. If doors open at 1, what’s the ETA for the president? Will there be facilities for the people who will undoubtedly be waiting in line for hours? Are there designated offsite parking areas with shuttle buses to the arena? Who in Bpt is organizing this? Anyone? Anyone? I am extremely excited to have President Obama come to our city, don’t get me wrong. But I have no confidence that the Finch administration can organize something this big.

      Just determine how much to want to see this man … and get there about 6 am. … just a guess.

      No don’t expect Bpt to be organizing … this is the President … mistakes cannot occur.
