just thought you all should know.

about two weeks ago i got this email

Hey Obama Supporters,

I hope all of you are enjoying a relaxing break and looking forward to Al Franken taking his seat in the U.S. Senate. Plus I hear there's some inauguration business going on.

In other news, I was contacted yesterday by a reporter from the New York Times looking to do a story on students attending the inauguration with their parents, if any of you fit this description or know someone who does, please get in contact with her about the story. It'd be great to see some Wesleyan Obama supporters members in the national press.

Hope to see you in DC this week and I look forward to working with strengthened Democratic majorities in both Hartford and Washington.

Cheers,
Bradley Spahn
Wesdems President/Chapter Coordinator, Wesleyan Students for Barack Obama/Political Junkie

P.S. I plan on using this list only sparingly for things that I think are important or that you might be interested in, even though the election is now over, I'd encourage you to stay on, because there will be exciting things happening. I promise not to spam you.

Dear Bradley,



I am writing you on the off chance that you may be able to help me with a story I’m working on. I am looking for a young person who supported Obama and who is now headed to the inauguration – with his or her parents. The idea is to illuminate the generational differences in support for Obama, so I am looking for someone who persuaded their parents to support Obama or who maybe did not convince their parents to support him, but convinced them to go to the inauguration.



Do you know of anyone who might fit the bill?



Much obliged,

Shaila
