Speaking to a massive crowd in Pittsburgh, PA, Obama revealed a glimmer of the intelligent humor that has endeared him to so many of us during the course of this all-too-long campaign. While speaking about John McCain and his honorable service, the word “Boooo!” rippled through the audience.

Obama’s respone: “Don’t boo….just vote!”

The audience loved it…laughed…cheered.

A newly added feature of the Barack Obama website is a resource center chock full of talking points, details, and fact check information that you can use in your efforts to offer prospective voters a clear understanding about the candidate.

The resource tool includes Obama’s “Blueprint for Change,” and individual white papers on specific issues (in alphabetical order): civil rights, defense, disabilities, economy/taxes, education, energy/environment, ethics, faith, family, fiscal, foreign policy, healthcare, homeland security, immigration, Iraq, poverty, rural, service, seniors/social security, technology, urban policy, veterans, and women.

If for any reason you or a family member does not expect to be in Amesbury on election day, November 4, you may vote by absentee ballot. There are detailed instructions on the Secretary of State’s site, but here are the basics:

There are two types of absentee voting:

Voting early, but in person at Town Hall: This is a convenient option for people whose work schedules or commutes pose the risk that they might not be in town (or home from work) in time to vote during polling hours. It is also helpful for college students who expect to be home for a visit two or three weeks before the election, but not on election day itself. Ballots are usually available in Town Hall approximately three weeks before the election. Call ahead (978-388-8100) to confirm that the ballots are available, and then go to Town Hall and let the Clerk know you wish to vote. The deadline for applying for an absentee ballot is noon of the day before the election.

NOTE: If you recently registered and have not yet voted in any Amesbury election, be sure to bring identification with you.

Voting by paper ballot: If you know for certain that you will not be in Amesbury at all before the November election, or if you or a relative is physically incapable of going to Town Hall, there are 2 steps you must take: (a) Obtain and submit an absentee ballot application (see below). Submit the application to the Town Clerk immediately; your ballot will be mailed to you as soon as it is available. (b) When your ballot arrives, complete it and mail it (or have a family member hand-deliver it) so that it arrives in Town Hall no later than 8pm on November 4.
