McCain Campaign: Phonebank Fun

It was my first week of going inside the McCain Campaign Headquarters in Columbus, and I got to know just what it means to volunteer for the campaign.

I visited the headquarters to speak with volunteers working the phone bank and to see what it means to volunteer. I spoke with two volunteers from Columbus, who volunteer hours and hours each week. They make phone calls, go door-to-door, and do just about whatever else that they are asked. And they explained what a committment they have made to ensure John McCain gets elected.

I was also able to speak with Ohio House Speaker John Husted, who is also the co-chair of the McCain campaign. He explained the importance of volunteers and how people can make a difference in the campaign.

It was interesting to talk with some of the volunteers and hear just how dedicated they are to the campaign. They are each taking their own, valuable time, and calling people who sometimes aren't very receptive to the calls.

But overall, it was an interesting first week and I am looking forward to going even further in-depth with the McCain headquarters over the next few weeks!
