Obama Volunteers Register Voters at St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Scranton
Since 1962, Scranton, Pennsylvania has hosted the second largest Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in the country. This year was no exception! Thousands of people lined the streets, watching the 9,000 participants of all ages!
The Obama campaign was present in all parts of the parade as surrogate speaker Max Kennedy met parade watchers and encouraged them to vote for Barack Obama.
Scranton residents rallied for Obama by wearing special Saint Patrick’s Day Obama stickers, holding signs and carrying around balloons.
Jennifer, Marissa and Debbie are excited to vote on April 22 for Barack. Jennifer, a teacher, supports Barack’s education policy. Debbie likes to see the younger generations get involved in politics and the grassroots movement behind the campaign.
During and after the parade, Obama volunteers registered Pennsylvanians to vote in the primary election on April 22.
The March 24 deadline to register to vote is coming up quickly—have you registered yet? Download the registration form here.
