For the past few weekends, I have been working with the Travis County Democratic Party registering voters and doing visibility on South Congress Avenue. Part of the visibility work I was doing was doing was merchandising Obama Stuff for visibility. The wonderful owners of Uncommon Objects on South Congress had given us permission to set up a table in front of their shop. The owners and staff are great supporters and were extremely helpful.
