This afternoon, I received an email highlighting an amazing video. As I watched the video, I received a phone call from my eldest daughter Mairead. Mairead is a student at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, VA. Last February, she turned 18, and next month, she will get her first opportunity to vote, and it will be in an incredibly important election.

Today is the last day to register to vote in many different states, and I texted messaged her to ask if she had registered yet. So, on her way down to town hall, she called me, letting me know she was on her way down, and then she called me back after she was registered.

I had hoped she would be able to get some friends to go with her and they could all take pictures of each other as the registered to vote, but this didn’t happen. So, sorry, no pictures.

Please, if you haven’t registered to vote, do so today.

Also, today, I received an email from Jen Just, the CT Field Organizer for the Obama campaign. Tuesday evening, the Obama / DeLauro Headquarters will have their grand opening at 900 Chapel Street in New Haven from 5:00 to 6:30 PM. Congresswoman DeLauro will be the featured speaker and refreshments will be served. This will be followed by phone banking and then a Debate Watching Party starting at 8:45. If you are anywhere near New Haven, you should try to attend.
