VIDEO: End the War Day of Action with Dodd & Shea-Porter

by: Matt Browner Hamlin

Diary updated with YouTube video & timing edits

Today Senator Chris Dodd and Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter came together for a Day of Action to End the War in Iraq. Dodd and Shea-Porter spoke to the crowd and then people started sending e-petitions, writing letters, and making phone calls to end the war in Iraq. We're also doing a full canvass in Manchester on Iraq. We live streamed Dodd and Shea-Porter's speeches, as well as the activities in the Dodd Action Center.

Before the event starts, you can take action online by signing our petition and sending a letter to President Bush. The text of the message reads:

We, the undersigned concerned citizens, on this 20th day of October, 2007, stand with United States Senator Chris Dodd and call on President Bush to immediately set a date certain for the withdrawal of all American combat troops from Iraq.
We're also encouraging people to contact New Hampshire Senators John Sununu and Judd Gregg.

If you're in the Manchester area, please come on by the Dodd campaign headquarters to take part in this Day of Action.

***************
I have a funny story to relate.  Later in the afternoon I was standing in front of the Radisson, where the IAFF reception and the Jefferson/Jackson dinner were to be held, when Rep. Porter and her aide came around the corner after taking a bit of a "constitutional."  On the other side of the little park were a host of young people holding Obama signs and Carol observed that they didn't look like the crowd she remembered from last year's campaign.  So, I had to tell her that's because she had a rag-tag contingent of volunteers while these kids are all paid (through the primary, I was told).  They even come with a supervisor who walks around and makes sure they're properly distributed and not too bunched up.  Needless to say, that wasn't something we ever worried about.  Seems like last fall was a lot colder and we kept moving just to keep warm.
Hodes, btw, has endorsed Obama and gets to have some of his signs on the same sticks.  Shea-Porter isn't going to endorse in the primary and has appeared with most of the candidates, I think.
