Today, voters in Idaho announced the official launch of the Idaho DraftObama.org chapter, sending the strong message that a grassroots army of Idahoans exists to encourage and help Illinois Senator Barack Obama run for and become the next President of the United States. Idaho is the latest state to officially join the national DraftObama.org movement by formally organizing a state group. Idaho organizers - encouraged by the overwhelming success of the national DraftObama.org movement in dozens of states across the country - have kicked off an all-volunteer effort to gather thousands of signatures from like-minded citizens urging Senator Obama to run.
