Dear Friends,
All of Britain is gearing up in excitement to welcome President Obama
to his G20 summit here. Lots of buzz going on, so stay tuned to the
blog and I'll keep posting things as I hear of them.

To start with, check out the fabulous Brits for Barack Facebook group
and their planned rallies on Wednesday afternoon.
Here's the message they just sent out:
Dear All
President Obama will be arriving in the UK tomorrow. Brits for Barack
are keen to arrange a welcome rally to demonstrate our support for
America’s new leader and have arranged two meet-ups for Wednesday, 1st
April. Please bring welcome signs, wear t-shirts and badges, etc.
The first meet up will take place on the south side of the Mall at the
far western corner, close to the statue outside the front gate of
Buckingham Palace. The President will arrive at the Garden Entrance of
the Palace 17.15. I suggest people congregate from 16.00.
Following that President Obama will then travel to Downing Street for
a meeting at 19.30. We plan to meet outside the gates of Downing
Street from 18.00 onwards.
We expect to be joined by our friends from Democrats Abroad.
Hope to see you on Wednesday
Steve

ALSO: Don't miss our regular Democrats Abroad Speakeasy on Wednesday
night at the Duke of York pub - please RSVP on the Meet Up group so we
have an idea how many people are coming (I'm sorry to say, the
President won't be there, but we can raise a glass to him
nonetheless!):

This is a great, low key and informal way to meet other Obama
supporters here in London, and talk about US politics. This time we
are expecting one or two media outlets to be joining us, so please:
1) Be on your best behaviour for our guests and
2) Wear something Obama
Happy Obama days, everybody!
