Michelle Obama To Get Out The Vote In Billings And Kalispell Monday

On the heels of Senator Barack Obama’s visit to Montana, Michelle Obama will make her first visit to Big Sky Country on Monday, June 2nd, rallying supporters and volunteers at a Get Out the Vote Canvass Kickoff in Billings and a Get Out the Vote Phonebank in Kalispell.

The Billings event is free and open to the public, however tickets are required. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis to anyone who signs up for a Get-Out-the-Vote shift before Election Day – committing to knock on at least 50 doors or make 100 phone calls. Volunteers will have the option of doing their door-to-door canvassing immediately following the event with Michelle Obama. Door-to-door canvass packets will be provided and the campaign will conduct a brief canvass training before canvassers depart to go door-to-door.

The phonebank in Kalispell begins at 3:45 PM. Michelle Obama will arrive after the phonebank is already underway. The event is free and open to any volunteer who brings their cell phone and participates in the phonebank, but space is limited and an RSVP to phonebank is required. Individuals without cell phones or who would rather go door-to-door will have that option as well.

Volunteers can RSVP to phonebank by visiting the Obama Campaign headquarters in Kalispell, located at 20 Four Mile Drive, or call the office at 406-257-5203.
