To: Whom It May Concern

I am curious as to why the Team Largo Office volunteers have not been taken into consideration for their request to obtain positions to work as volunteers at on of the Inaugural Balls. I personally applied well in advance. The whole team worked diligently around the click. I worked on line for months. I later was asked to fi into the campaign office to work. i did phone banking and was later asked to be come a Captain to train others. We were No 1 in the whole N.E.

The Barack Obama stand-in, fittingly, gave a remarkably brief speech: not a speech at all. The longest ever was given by William Harrison in 1841, lasting 90 minutes or more. Hatless and coatless, he caught a cold and died of pneumonia.
