(Community Matters) Kirk Rudy & I hosted the launch of the Austin Obama Leadership Council this afternoon at the Headliners. An intentionally small group for the launch, those attending today each agreed to raise at least $2,500 for the June 9 Obama ’08 fundraiser featuring campaign co-chair, David Axelrod.
Senator Watson popped in to meet & greet
