UPDATE: The filming last night was done on Roy Blunt plaza. The pup and I saw it on our walk. Here’s an AP story about the tapings…a Decatur questioner is highlighted.

Apparently our fame as the liberal bastion of Georgia proceeds us…

Over on Fresh Loaf, Thomas Wheatley reports that Obama staffers have chosen downtown Decatur to take video-taped questions for a “nationwide townhall” that will be part of the Democratic National Convention later this month. Cameras will be on the Square TODAY from 3p-7p. From the address it seems like they’ll be set up by Wordsmiths, but don’t take my word for it.

Here’s the letter from Obama for America, courtesy of Fresh Loaf…

Barack Obama will be accepting the Democratic presidential nomination at the convention in Denver on August 28th, and we’re throwing the doors open to the public by hosting America’s Town Hall.

Americans from around the country will be submitting questions that will be answered by elected leaders and national experts, live at the convention.

To be a part of this historic opportunity, come this Wednesday to Decatur City Square and submit a question of your own. Staff will be on hand to videotape your question which could be selected to be asked at the convention.

Here are the details:
America’s Town Hall Question Submission
Decatur City Square
599 N. McDonough Street Decatur, GA
Wednesday, August 13th
3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Hope to see you there! Obama for America

So maybe, when you take the dog out for a walk later this afternoon, you could stop by and ask the Democratic Presidential Nominee a question or two.

No biggie. Just another day in Decatur.
