Gather with Other Obama Supporters to Watch Inauguration Jan. 21

President Obama will take his oath of office for a second term on Monday, Jan. 21, and Livingston County supporters of the president are invited to gather to watch.

Supporters of President Obama are invited to an Inauguration Watch Party on Monday, Jan. 21, at 11 a.m. at the headquarters of the Livingston County Democratic Party, 10321 Grand River Road, Suite 600, in Brighton. Lunch and beverages will be provided. Suggested donation is $10 per person.

"Many supporters of the president worked hard last summer and fall to help Obama carry Michigan and deliver the state’s electoral votes for him. The president’s swearing in for a second term is a great time for supporters to get together again and hear the president’s appeal to the nation," said Judy Daubenmier, chair of the Livingston County Democrats.

"Not everyone has the time or money to go to Washington to witness the event in person so we’re offering a substitute – a chance to watch the historic event with other people who helped make it happen."

President Obama was re-elected in November with 51.1 percent of the vote, the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to be elected twice with more than 51 percent of the vote and the first Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt.
