OBAMA TICKETS GIVEN OUT IN 90 MINUTES
OCDP's supply of 1,000 tickets were gone in 90 minutes. Channel 4 covered the huge crowd that showed up Saturday morning for a chance to attend the Monday town hall. Click here to view the video.
Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama will hold a town hall meeting at Troy High School on Monday afternoon. The campaign says the town hall will be held in the main gymnasium at the school beginning at 12:15 p.m. Doors open at 10:30 a.m.
The event is free and open to the public but tickets will be required.
"This visit to Oakland County is recognition of the fact that Obama's campaign recognizes no Democrat can win without Michigan and you can't win Michigan without Oakland County," said Dave Woodward, chair of the Oakland County Democratic Party.
Troy High School is located at 4777 Northfield Parkway in Troy. For security reasons, bags and umbrellas will not be allowed and nor will signs or banners.
It's an exciting time in Oakland County. As an Oakland County Democrat, you are one of the first people to get the details about Barack Obama's historic visit to Oakland County.

We Have Great Candidates in 2008
The trend is evident: the Democrats of Oakland County are on the move. You can’t win the Presidency without Michigan, and you can’t win Michigan without Oakland County. Oakland County will deliver the decisive Democratic majority vote in 2008! Carl Levin will be returned enthusiastically to the U.S. Senate. And for the first time in recent history, a Democrat has an outstanding chance of unseating Joe Knollenberg for the 9th Congressional seat. Gary Peters’ race is receiving not only local but national support including from the DCCC.
Democrats will be putting up strong challenge for every single county-wide position in 2008.
Brenda Lawrence, Mayor of Southfield, is running for Oakland County Executive. Jessica Cooper, a former Circuit Court and Appeals Court judge, is running as Oakland County Prosecutor. Sheila Smith, State Political Director for ACORN, is running for Oakland County Clerk. Andy Meisner, a current, term-limited State Representative from District 27, is running for Oakland County Treasurer.
