dagbog dag 6-12

Day 6:
we went to Grennsboro in North Carolina, it was a very long trip, when we arrived at the hotel I was too tired to do some head!

Day 7:
that I was ready and after a good night's sleep I had on the campaign. Campaign office in North Carolina is the largest we've been on and it was super cool! I came quickly started to go out and knock on doors, people were very open and I got talking to a lot of Americans here who are trying to get people to go out and vote early because the polling stations may not have as many voters on election day, so it was mostly what I was doing, I also talked with a lady named Hope, and she really made me realize why it is that I am in the U.S. to get Obama re-elected in read more in my blog post: http://ungtudsyn.dk/de-forandrede-stater/

Day 8:
so we went to Columbus, Ohio, we drove through a park the size of Jylland, it is the most beautiful I have ever seen, the trees had all sorts of different colors, because it's fall, and then when we got deeper into in the forest, so a bunch of mountains there was a large lake, and should we just bathe in, it was really nice, so with that experience so we drove the last stretch to Ohio after sitting in a car for 12 hours .

Day 9: was the campaign all day, and it was again the same thing to get people to vote early. but in the evening there were presidential debate between Obama and Romney, so we went down in a theater with 200 other people, and so the debate, it was a fun experience because people sat and cheered and clapped, of course we are not in Denmark so it was a fun experience.

day 10:
We were supposed to tour in Ohio state building, it can best compare with our parliament, was only 1 state, it was also where Abraham Lincon who was U.S. president during the Civil War, he started his political career, but we also got just a little talk with some of the politicians, where we discussed the rights of homosexuals, and Obama's health care reform, after it was on the shopping

day 11:
This was a very exciting day, we were driving from Ohio to Pittsburgh, me and 2 other went to a meeting with the vice president of the American trade union American Stellworkers, which is the same as the Dansk Metal home in Denmark, she told us about the problems unions In the United States and the workers in the U.S. do not have the same rights as we have in Denmark, after that we went into their phone bank and called the members and tried to get them to vote for Obama. After that we went over to it which correspond to LO in Denmark to try to get a meeting with their president and succeeded but we could only get the meeting the following day.

Day 5 Clear trip's highlights so far! The meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama! We had got up early and packed our things together we had to move to Jacksonville (Florida), but by then we had to hear the president speak at the University of Miami, we got really good seats so we could see him quite tydligt, he held (as always ) a fantastic and indspirende speech in which he talked about Afghanistan, young, taxes, and the middle class, he ended this way, still when I am writing it gives me goosebumps "America I have never said this would be easy and I will promise that now, yes our way is long, but we travel together, and it lead us to a better place, we did not turn back now, we leave no one behind, we pull each other up, we get ups of our performance and we learn from our mistakes, but we always have our eyes fixt on that distant horizont, and now that good is with us, and that we are incredibly fortunate to be citizens of the greatest country on earth, thank you, God bless you and God bless the front States! " This man is amazing!

I miss you all! And look forward to seeing you again.
Did I said that I this Wednesday go to hear Obama again and then get Bruce Springsteen perform?

Regards Mathias

Hello everyone :-)

Here's a little update from the States
I have now been off for 6 days Sunday-Friday, and it all went very fast!
We arrived at the airport in Miami, where it was 40 degrees and extreme humidity, we came out in some taxis and were driven to our hotel, during the trip, I was extremely fascinated by the many new impressions, we drove from the slums of Miami to the wealthy neighborhood where we in turn was overtaken by all sorts of sports, and I think it gave a good impression of how the United States is that we have the very rich and there are all the poor ones, and that's the last group I'm in U.S. to help.

Day 1 The first evening went to take a look at the night life ;-) and otherwise home to bed after a hard day.

Day 2 I ran a long walk along the beach in the morning and after a walk in the sea, so took me and some of the others at the campaign office and got to see how they're doing campaign, it was interesting to follow, but was a little disappointed with the number of volunteers but we came out and got knocked on some doors and got us a good political debate with voters.

Day 3 Went to a jog, and then relax by the pool, and then a trip out to shop because there was made no campaign the day in Miami, inscrutable reasons ..

Day 4 We were again on the move, and I talked to lady whose husband is ill with cancer, and she preface that without Obama's health care reform would not be able to pay for the man's treatment, and he would be dead today! The story made a great impression on me and motivated me even more in the fight for 4 more years of Obama!

Day 5 Clear trip's highlights so far! The meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama! We had got up early and packed our things together we had to move to Jacksonville (Florida), but by then we had to hear the president speak at the University of Miami, we got really good seats so we could see him quite tydligt, he held (as always ) a fantastic and indspirende speech in which he talked about Afghanistan, young, taxes, and the middle class, he ended this way, still when I am writing it gives me goosebumps "America I have never said this would be easy and I will promise that now, yes our way is long, but we travel together, and it lead us to a better place, we did not turn back now, we leave no one behind, we pull each other up, we get ups of our performance and we learn from our mistakes, but we always have our eyes fixt on that distant horizont, and now that good is with us, and that we are incredibly fortunate to be citizens of the greatest country on earth, thank you, God bless you and God bless the front States!
