A man, who spoke to the Rocky on the condition that he not be named, said he got a message saying he had to do 12 hours of phone work or canvassing to have a chance at the two tickets he wants [to meet Obama]. Asked if he planned to do the work, he said ‘hell no’ and called the campaign’s conditions ‘blackmail.'”
