Obama Campaign Press Release - Obama Campaign Announces State Leadership Committee and New TV Advertisement In Advance of Statewide Canvass
Des Moines, IA -- The Obama for America Campaign today announced a 164-member State Leadership Committee (SLC) to lead grassroots organizing efforts for Barack Obama's Iowa campaign. The SLC will immediately begin reaching out to local communities by helping to organize the Obama Campaign's statewide canvass this Saturday, September 22nd.
"Barack Obama is the best candidate to strengthen our communities and bring our country together," said Iowa's first female Supreme Court justice, Linda Neuman. "I trust his leadership and judgment which guided him to stand up against the war in Iraq when others in Washington wouldn't. As president, Barack Obama will use that same leadership and judgment to tackle the tough issues we face like bringing our troops home and providing affordable, high-quality health care for all Americans."
Statewide Leadership Committee members from across Iowa will advise the campaign and organize in their local communities. The SLC is comprised of community leaders across the state committed to spreading Barack Obama's message of unity and hope for our country.
"As a community organizer, I understand the importance of local leaders and everyday people coming together to spark the change we so desperately need," Senator Obama said. "That's why I'm so proud to have the support of these Iowans who have agreed to join me as we work to challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C. and transform our country."
To supplement Barack Obama's strong grassroots operation, the campaign also announced the airing of a new television ad titled Believe that details Senator Obama's experience taking on lobbyists and bringing Democrats and Republicans together to solve the tough problems our country faces.
