Are you fired up and want to show it?  The National Day of Service is the perfect solution.

Many service organizations have picked Saturday, September 27, 2008 as a National Day of Service.  If you are a supporter of Barack Obama and want to demonstrate how powerful citizen service can be, sign up for one of the many projects - even create your own - and show that Barack supporters mean busienss.

What can you do?

Find out what events are being planned.

There are many events around the country which are tied to the National Day of Service.  A good place to start is on ServiceNation.org.  They have the most complete listing of events for that day.  Also check out National Public Lands Day.  But don't stop there.  Do some research online to find other events in your area.

If you can't find an event, then plan one yourself.  You are creative, so use your energy for the campaign to identify local causes who could use some help and create your own local event.  The best community service is local.  Once you have an event planned, go go ServiceNation.org and post it there for others to find.

Spread the word.

Once you have identified a cause and an event, let other people know.  Take our your address book and email lists and let everyone know what you are doing.  Invite them to join you.  Some will be Obama supporters, but even if they aren't most people want to do something for their community.

Make your participation part of the Obama Campaign.

Doing something positive for your community is always a good thing.  But we want to encourage you to let everyone know that your participation is part of your commitment to the Obama campaign.  You can do this by wearing your Obama gear, letting the organizers know why you are joining, and encouraging all of your fellow Obama supporters to do the same.  If you don't have any Obama gear, you can buy it from the Campaign Store or it is available at most local campaign offices.
