The Obama campaign has divided Montgomery County into 3 regions: Bethesda-Chevy Chase, Montgomery Up-County and Greater Silver Spring. We will now be sending out separate e-mails for each of these regions detailing upcoming team activities. In addition, we will send out an e-mail for county-wide activities for the Obama campaign, Marriage Equality and the DREAM Act.
