This victory came with hard work and sacrifice of many volunteers and committed leadership. Here in Prince George's County we had the capable leadership of Obama staff led by Prince George's County Field Director Ryan Cooper. We knew we had worked hard, but when we saw that 78.98% of our votes went to Barack Obama we were FIRED UP and READY TO GO!! Click on the link below to see the numbers, YES WE CAN!!!!
