Re: Invite Obama to Atlanta, we already did

My team wrote three letters to Obama's organisation after he got elected. We wanted him to attend the DC regional, or at least make a 10 minute appearance. He's only a 5 minute car ride away after all, right? All three responses were that it's too close to the start of his term and there are so many issues to deal with that it would be very difficult to find time for security to set up for an appearance.

We'll try again next year, and the year after that, and every year we go to the DC regional. As for Atlanta ... that's the Secret Service's nightmare ... so he'd have to really want to go. The only way to do that is to get a HUGE amount of teams, including those who aren't attending, to write letters. Hop to it!

The best option for him would be to give a pre recorded video speech for all to see. George Bush did this in 06.
This is a good idea...
