This week some of our friendly political bloggers picked up on our work - 

Read the full post (cross-posted on both sites) here:

Here's an excerpt:

Yrmomma4obama has been
around for a couple of months and works as a standalone application.
The intended audience is young, so the site has features for both
voters and those still unable to cast a ballot. Its core function: the
site lets you send a message to your cell phone, which you can then
forward to friends and family. Of course, you can also sign up for text
alerts for upcoming primaries, and the organizers have also created a
Facebook group.

Thanks Colin!

YrMomma has been on the ground in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. We've partnered with the Roots to distribute materials at their shows at Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, and Duke. We connected directly with thousands of college students, encouraging them to vote for Obama, as well as to get their parents on board. We've been partnering with Students for Obama groups on each campus to keep spreading the word after the shows are over - they've been great to work with. Here are some photos from the events:

YrMomma will be out at the Roots shows at Purdue and at Carnegie Mellon this week -

and we're cohosting a Philly event on the 21st.

After our NYT mention Tuesday, we've been able to get YrMomma into some new territory -

We've had our first Huffinton Post blog - and we'll be updating the HuffPost community regularly on our project.\

Defamer picked up the same post.

We've also been picked up by SMSBlog, UnfoxNews, PoliticsOnline and other political blogs..

Here's a highlight:

"While Mrs. Clinton has a national network of student volunteers, Mr. Obama’s network

is far more extensive. Web sites like Kids for Obama and YrMomma4Obama

urge youngsters to talk up the candidate to their parents."

More:

Senator Barack Obama’s devotees just won’t give their parents a break.

As
the race for the Democratic presidential nomination continues, youthful
volunteers for each candidate have been campaigning with bright-eyed
brio, not only door-to-door but also at home. But the young supporters
of Mr. Obama, who has captured a majority of under-30 primary voters,
seem to be leading in the pestering sweepstakes. They send their
parents the latest Obama YouTube videos, blog exhortations and “Tell
Your Mama/Vote for Obama!” bumper stickers.
