   Dear Kleinheider,

   Your omission of the merits of Jennifer Buck Wallace in this blog compelled me to write the following:

   Jennifer Buck Wallace has been working voluntarily with zero financial compensation since May, 2007 (except for a couple of months during the Primary season) to harness the enthusiasm of TN Obama volunteers and channel them to the appropriate areas according to their skills, experience, time allowances etc. She has also overseen countless events, conducted key meetings and compiled multiple recourses targeted to the statewide campaign volunteers. Due to her calm determination, ObamaTN has resulted in an incredibly successful grassroots (unofficial) presence statewide and especially in the metro areas of Davidson, Shelby, Knox and Hamilton Counties. Wallace has even gone beyond the metro areas to engage leaders to organize rural areas that are viewed in this cycle to be red. Without her leadership, ObamaTN would merely be a shadow of what it is.

   The acceptance and execution of civil duty that Wallace exhibits should serve as not only an example, but also as a clear path to enter for all residents of the United States to be engaged in our country’s future. She serves as a role model to us all – reminding us of the unique character and governmental structure of America – that every single person matters and every single person’s contribution of their civic duty is necessary to the innovative evolution of this nation. Indeed, Tennessee is unusually fortunate to have such a leader within it’s border.

   There wouldn’t be an Obama campaign in Tennessee if it weren’t for the organizing and work of Jennifer Buck Wallace - who has worked for months, for free and without any self-serving ambition (which is hard to find in politics).

   She is the real deal. In it for the right reasons and the right cause.

   There are hundreds and thousands of people who have been brought into politics for the first time and into activism for the first time - because of her initiative and leadership.

   I need Obama signs. Could someone call me? I need the phone number
   of the headquarters. It has been very difficult to find this. Make it easy for
   people to get signs. Can pick up if necessary.

   Thanks,
   Sandy Paschall
