GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- President Barack Obama's campaign has officially opened up its new headquarters in Grand Junction.

At the "Organizing for America" office, residents can register to vote either Republican or Democrat. It's also the site for Obama volunteers to coordinate their canvassing efforts.

Karl Castleton, co-chair for the Mesa County Democrats, says the office also serves as a hub for voters who need more information on the issues facing our nation. "[We want to] make sure that everybody knows what decision they're making, knows the policies and make sure people vote. It really is a 'get out the vote' effort more than almost anything else," said Castleton.

He also says that by opening this office in a largely conservative area, the Democrats' strategy is to nab as many unaffiliated voters as possible to offset the Republican vote.

If obama was any kind of man at all, he would never have blamed anyone else for the problems, he would simply have began to solve the problems. He has done nothing but blame and campaign for the last three and half years, only the blind followers of the blind "leaders" would believe he has any kind of plan other than the one he has been doing since Jan. 20, 2009.

I know the KREX staff was in breathless anticipation of such a momentous event. But people with brains are fed up with Barry and his sycophants.

Tater-hundreds have already come by. And what is wrong with the sign? It is a temporary sign. I bet you will never change either.

Really tater, I will be sure to stop by next time I'm in GJ to pick up a few bumper stickers!

Nobody will come by... Your sign is out of code by the way. I bet that doesn't change either.
