Jamaicans for Obama

This is a truly amazing story. Three or four weeks ago, Judith came into the Obama office on N. Main St and asked if she could help out. Nothing unusual here. 50 people a day come into the office every day to volunteer. What is unique about Judith is that she came all the way from Kingston to volunteer to help Barack.
Judith took off from work to travel to PA (where her cousin Jackie lives) to donate her time to help Barack, even though she is not a US citizen. Now that is dedication!
And Judith has been coming to the office every Tuesday and Wednesday since to phone voters and volunteers and to canvass neighborhoods in search of votes. Judith, who is pictured here with her new, hipster hairdo, will be in the Buckingham Green office tomorrow to help us close out the election, then return to Kingston and her job on Wednesday.
Many thanks for your passion and dedication, Judith.
Grant
