TAKE ACTION!

From now until the election, the YA for Obama authors are giving away prizes to site members who are out there working for Obama! (Like official Obama gear and signed books!) Want to win? Find out how here, and get ideas here.

OUR WINNERS SO FAR:
Genevieve: a star volunteer, registering thousands of voters in California
Tirzah: spreading the word about Obama in her school
Claire: working away for Obama in New Hampshire
Zara: working in a traditionally Republican stronghold in the Ozarks
Felicity: conquering her own fear and making calls in Ohio
John: age 11, helping out in Nevada
Keshia: working for Obama in the homestretch in Indiana
Devyn: canvasing and making noise in Michigan (and online)
Max: 14 and on the phone for Obama
Erin: getting out the vote, one person at a time

LINKS WE LOVE

Obama's Senate voting record.
Meet Joe Biden.
Michelle Obama's blog.
The Democratic Party website.
Declare Yourself, an awesome voter registration site.

The Daily Show, or, as we like to call it, "real news."
The Obama Store. Proceeds go to the campaign.
Fight book banning at the ALA's Banned Books Week site.

WELCOME

Hello and welcome to YA for Obama! The YA for Obama project is closed. We stopped accepting members and adding blog posts a few weeks after the election. Forums are now closed and the site is an archive. Feel free to look around, however! There's plenty to read!

Happy New Year!
