Obama's poll worker gropes and we all are getting screwed by Obama. There is something diabolically poetic about this.http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_21907244/obama-volunteer-charged-groping-loveland-womans-breastsAn Obama re-election organizer is facing charges that he "grabbed" a Loveland woman's breasts while giving her a campaign sticker on Tuesday, police said.
Luke M. Buchanan, 24, of Washington, D.C. is charged with unlawful sexual contact, a misdemeanor. The victim's name was not released. She is 21 years old, police said.
He has since been fired from his job with the Colorado Democratic Party.
"The female reported an adult male knocked on her door, identified himself as a member of the Obama political campaign and asked to speak with her about her voting status," Loveland police said in a statement Thursday afternoon. "The victim reportedly spoke with the male for a short time and he then asked if he could give her a campaign sticker. The victim accepted and the male allegedly grabbed her breasts while applying the sticker to her shirt."
A message left on Buchanan's cell phone was not immediately returned Thursday afternoon.
Colorado Democratic Party spokeswoman Matt Inzeo said Buchanan was not employed by the campaign, but by the state party.
"We have a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior. As soon as we learned about this incident, we took immediate action, and the person in question has been terminated," Inzeo stated.
"The actions of one individual in no way reflect the hard work being done every day by the thousands of employees and volunteers the Colorado Democratic Party who have spent countless hours talking to their friends and neighbors about the importance of this election."
According to his LinkedIn page, Buchanan stats he is a field organizer for Organizing for America, an Obama campaigning organization.
"I am now working on President Obama's campaign in Colorado, where I recruit and manage volunteers, perform cold-calls, and collect and input data," he wrote on his LinkedIn profile.
He graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans in 2011, when he studied communications and environmental studies.
The profile included a 2011 recommendation from the executive director of a camp where he worked in Maine, "Luke is full of energy, friendly, caring, compassionate, helpful, and an effective decision maker. He has the ability to see the positives in any experience; he is a good listener, and has an enthusiastic demeanor."
Public records indicated Buchanan was charged with public intoxication by police in Santa Monica, Calif., and got a speeding ticket in 2007 in Virginia.
Police said they had no other information to release in the case.
Anyone with information, however, can call Detective Jeff Pyle at 970-962-2274, or Larimer County CrimeStoppers by phone at 970-221-6868 or online at
