The Ohio Primary is on March 4th! With as many as 161 delegates at stake in that state, your is needed on:

**Friday, February 29-Wednesday, March 5**
**Friday, February 29-Sunday, March 2**

On Friday the 29th at 4pm, New Yorkers will be heading to Youngstown, OH (just south of Cleveland) from NYC. We will stay in motels in the area until Wed, Mar 5 when we’ll head back to NYC in the morning. If you can only travel on the weekends, we’ll have part of our crew heading back to NYC on Sunday, Mar 2nd and arriving back in NYC VERY late. Many of you have traveled for Obama in the past and know the routine.  For those of you who haven’t had the chance, the majority of our work in Ohio will be going door-to-door and talking to as many voters as possible.

The trip will be under $200 per person, this includes only transportation and lodging. You’ll be responsible for checking out of your own rooms at the hotel, but a $100 deposit is required before Feb 22 if you  will be using our transportation.
