DC for Obama members were able to snag more than half of the 125 tickets
that were distributed online yesterday. That number does not include DC
supporters not in DC for Obama, nor does it include MD and VA supporters
and grassroots activists. In all, the region was very successful in
getting Obama supporters into the meeting. I know many of you were
frustrated with technical issues yesterday morning, but as you can see,
many others were successful in securing access to the meeting.

If you were able to get a ticket to the meeting and have not emailed me
yet, please do so. We're planning to have all of our members meet up on
Saturday morning before the meeting. Also, we're relaying important
event information to our members that are attending.

Note: The Obama campaign has asked that its supporters refrain from
protesting/demonstrating/rallying at the meeting, regardless of how
well-intentioned those efforts may be. Instead, they urge those without
tickets to engage in one of the activities listed below.

For those of you without tickets, there are three options for you on
Saturday morning.

1) You can show up early on Saturday and wait in the same-day
registration line in the hopes that someone with a ticket doesn't show
up. Tickets will begin to be given away on a first-come first-served
basis beginning at 9:30 am, which is also when the meeting agenda
starts.

2) Stay home and watch the meeting unfold on C-SPAN.

3) Most importantly, you can help move our cause forward in the region
by registering voters in Northern Virginia. We stand a good chance of
turning Virginia blue this year and that work has already begun. While
Clinton supporters are disturbing the peace at the RBC meeting, you can
help move our campaign forward. If interested, email
