(I'll have more on this later tonight! - promoted by Aaron Silverstein)
From the Colorado for Obama blog.
Barack got involved in politics because he was motivated by his work in the south side of Chicago, helping the local communities that had been devastated by the closure of steal mills. Our campaign is dedicated to continuing Barack's message of working in local communities, and today the Obama campaign and the DNC took it one step further as national delegates participated in a number of Delegation Service Projects across Denver. One group of Colorado delegates spent the morning at the Denver Rescue Mission, where they toured the homeless shelter and prepared lunch for the people there. |

We then went to Curtis Park, where delegates from California, West Virginia and New York were taking part in Mayor John Hickenlooper's plans to plant a million trees by 2025. Excited by the energy of the green convention and Hickenlooper's plans for a more environmentally friendly Denver, the New York delegation took it a step further, planting three Choke Cherry trees today and donating 80 of saplings to a local school where, once mature enough to plant, they will join the other three, to create New York Row.
