Today members of Barack Obama's Campaign for Change held several grassroots events across the state.Volunteers were out canvassing neighborhoods in Columbiana and Boardman.The focus is on women reaching out to other women voters.... to discuss their support for Senator Barack Obama. The event honors the one-hundred 60th anniversary of the first women's rights conference. District one State representative Linda Bolon headed the local campaign.

"ITS TOO EMPHASIZE THAT WOMEN ARE OUT THERE DOING THE WORK, DOING THE JOB AND NEED TO BE ELECTED. SO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS ALSO SUPPORTING WOMEN AND WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE LEGISLATURE GET ELECTED."--Linda Bolon First District State Representative
