Obama Campaign NJ Headquarters has confirmed that Director, Jackie Cornell-Bechelli will take part in the Hillsborough Democrats 2012 Community Day. The event will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2012 beginning at 10:00AM at the Hillsborough Point Clubhouse on Render Drive in Hillsborough, NJ.
“Ms. Cornell-Bechelli is expected to arrive at 10:15AM and provide an update on the Presidential campaign; along with other State and local elected officials and Democratic candidates who will be attending the ‘Obama for President Caucus’ and Meet & Greet Sessions,” says Michael Goldberg, Chairman of the Hillsborough Democratic Organization. “The community should take advantage of this open forum and one-to-one contact opportunities with party leaders.” The event is free and open to the public.
“It is so imperative that we engage and involve all Democrats in the 2012 campaign and we are reaching out in every way possible,” said Community Day organizer Sonya Martin. Her team is preparing for a full day of inquisitive and enthusiastic community residents to stop by the event throughout the day. “We will have lots of information to help residents become active in the 2012 election and to stay involved,” she emphasized.
At the Help Desk, residents can pick up (and fill in) voter registration forms and Vote by Mail applications, declare their party affiliation, sign up to be a campaign volunteer, visit the Democratic Store to purchase campaign memorabilia and participate in a poll on Hillsborough local issues. They can also learn the process for becoming a poll worker, poll challenger or District Committee member.

“We are reaching out to the five thousand-plus registered Democratic voters, and to independents as well, in Hillsborough to help re-elect President Obama and insure that our local and state Democratic candidates have the support they need to win! All are invited to join the team.” says Goldberg.
