Make Obama a Member of Your Family

Everyone has a refrigerator filled with family pictures. Here's a suggestion from one of our Greencastle Antrim Democrats that makes good sense.

"Yesterday I got an email from a friend who had put Barack's photo on her refrigerator. Her son, who was visiting from California, said it looked like Barack was part of the family now. Last night I cut out a photo of Barack, Michelle, and their girls from a campaign brochure, and put it on our refrigerator. Since then, I've thought this would be a great thing to get started. Perhaps have groups or event tables to cut out photos, put them on magnetic backings, ready to go on everyone's refrigerators. You'd be more likely to vote for someone you consider a part of your family, someone you look at every day as you open the refrigerator."

Great idea for our first September meeting. Start collecting pictures of Obama and family and we'll put them on magnets.

Here's an additional idea. I used a brochure photo of Barack listening to a man talking as they sat at a table which has a styrofoam cup on it. I cut around the outline of the man's shoulders and head, and also around Barack's, making sure to leave enough uncut for a base. Then with a little bending of Barack and the man, It looks three-dimensional, and it can go on the refrigerator, too! Nancy Norwood
