Party Like a Barack Star

From City Council to the White House

Mike Martinez wants you to vote Obama in '08:



The Texans for Obama campaign is also encouraging people going to Saturday's Obamarama at the Backyard to carpool. More info after the jump.

From Texans for Obama: CARPOOL TO SATURDAY'S RALLY

Let's show the world that Team Obama is environmentally-friendly!

When you're headed out to The Backyard this Saturday afternoon for the big rally, I hope you'll consider carpooling to help preserve our environment and minimize traffic congestion.

Whether you need a ride or can provide one, we have a couple of convenient carpool locations near you. It's a scenic 30-minute drive from Austin down TX HWY 71, so let's join together and help keep Texas beautiful.

Questions?
Contact our carpool team captain, Bryan Mathew. (832) 659-2250. [email protected].

We're asking everyone to swing by one of these park-&-ride locations to pick up a fellow Obama supporter on your way out to the rally. There are lots of students who want to attend the event but don't have cars, so the campus carpool is really important.

Thanks for your support!
