On Saturday, August 9, 2008, Mike Engelhart campaigned from dawn past dusk. He started the day meeting up with HoustonVotes.org volunteers to hang voter registration cards and instructions on the doors of unregistered voters in the Alief area. He brought donuts for everyone, and spent about 2 hours walking the streets of Alief, between the Westpark Tollway and Highstar hanging the cards on targeted homes.
Needless to say, shortly into the endeavor, he was sweaty and cranky. Nevertheless, it was very worthwhile, as the group undoubtedly handed out more than 1000 voter registration cards.
Next, Mike headed over to midtown Houston for the grand opening of the HCDP campaign office. As with the previous two satellite office openings, it was packed. Democratic groups of every stripe were there, ready to work together to turn Houston blue.
Later, Mike headed over to the India Fest at the George R. Brown Convention Center and shook hundreds of hands and handed out at least as many cards. The attendees were enthusiastic and the reception was warm. Congratulations to the local Indian community on their independence celebration.
From there, Mike headed over to the Guava Lamp on Waugh for a Houston Young Democrats candidate reception where he met many dedicated activists and talked at length about the campaign and upcoming election.
Finally, at about 9:30 p.m., Mike headed back to the GRB for the Pakistani Independence Day Festival. He got to meet the attendees, of which there were hundreds. Then, he was introduced to the group at about 10:00 p.m., and got to say a few words about voter registration and his campaign. It was a terrific event, and there were many Democratic candidates present. The enthusiastic crowd welcomed them warmly.
