US ELECTIONS 08: BARACK OBAMA: Blog: Students for Barack Obama: University of Washington looks back

/noticias.info/ By Zach Charat, University of Washington Chapter Coordinator

The UW Students for Barack Obama chapter brought the school year to a close with a bang, at our school’s annual free spring concert. The UWFSBO and the UW Young Democrats painted our campus of 40,000 students “Obama” with tables around the HUB Lawn for the big event. Volunteers were wading through the crowd, passing out hundreds of buttons, stickers, and signs; while registering new voters along the way.

It has certainly been an exciting year for us at UWSFBO, a few weeks ago, eager volunteers hopped aboard “Big Red”, the iconic double-decker bus donated by Hale's Ales, to head south to Portland to assist the campaign effort for the May 20th primary. These student volunteers were no strangers to yielding successful primaries, as our 43rd legislative district went 79% for Obama and 20% Clinton in Washington’s February 19th Caucus. The UWSFBO also hosted Senator John Kerry for a town hall meeting with students before our caucus.
