Obama Lovers Unite!

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

Now that the 2008 race is underway, the young idealist masses are flocking to grassroots campaigns and meetings- one of which is being held tomorrow, Tuesday night, when the Los Angeles Barack Obama for President group will have its February meet up.

In what started in early December, the momentum of this group has continued to escalate. Tomorrow night will be just the second meeting in an effort to build a solid infrastructure to what they hope will be the west coast epicenter of the volunteer component of the Obama 2008 campaign.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. and should last an hour to an hour and half.
