Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize

By april - Oct 12th, 2009 at 1:35 pm EDT

I am so stunned on everyone's reaction to Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. It seems alot of people forget what he did over the campaign and how he got SO many people off there butts and out into there communities doing something and be apart of something greater than themselves. I had the chance to see him speak in Green Bay during the campaign and had the chance to shake his hand and I can tell you....just from my experience..... when you see him in person and listen to him talk...you can tell that he truly cares about helping US and that he truly believes he can make a difference in our country. I still support him...he is trying so hard with Health Care, and with the War...we have no real idea of what he really deals with on a daily basis...I was shocked when I heard he won...but in no way did I think he didn't deserve it....I think he whole-heartedly deserves it for bringing a Nation together and for opening up talks with other countries....who are interested in what he has to say. I think the Obama's are wonderful people and it is awesome to see real people in the White House and not a bunch of rich suits. Congratulations Mr. President!!

I need some advice on what I should do.....My friends and I went to see Barack speak in Green Bay....anyhow, a friend of mine got a deck of cards from outside the resch center in Green Bay....They were cards of barack, michele, different congress men and the jokers happened to be McCain and Bush....we thought that was really funny...right....well we thought it would be hillarious to get a sign made up of McCain and Bush from the cards to put in our front lawns, so my friend went down to a sign shop ( which is 1 block from the Barack Obama campaign office in sheboygan) and went inside....talked to a lady at the counter and explained the cards that he had and what he wanted to do....she said to my friend " So, you don't support McCain and our president Bush?" my friend said "No maam, I don't".....she said " well I can't help you, please get out of my store!!"...my friend was stunned...he asked if she was serious and she said yes and of course he left the store....but OMG!!!! what, does she only serve republicans????..by the way... my friend is very respectful...he didn't even say anything rude when she told him to leave...anyhow, what should I do???? Should I protest....call the news station....or just leave it alone???? I have never heard of that in my life!!!! that is so wrong!!!! what should I do?

I could so cry right now.... today I went to Green Bay to see Barack speak.....that was one of the most special moments in my life that I will never forget!!!! At the end of him speaking I got to walk up to the stage and shake his hand.....it just ment so much to me to see the next President of the United States in person!!!! and to top it off I got to look him in the face and tell him thank you for everything he has done and is going to do. I will never forget that as long as I live!!!

Walk for change canvass

I volunteered on saturday to do the walk for change canvass in my area. I have to say it was really fun. At first I wasn't sure because I am not the type of person to knock on someones door, but the response that I got was awesome!!! One lady that I saw while I was walking down the street, asked me " who are you with?" I said the Barack Obama campaign......she said GOOD, cause if you would have said McCain I would have told you to keep walking...hahahahaha I thought that was so funny!!! But anyhow, people were really nice and made it a really nice time for me that I stayed out the whole day canvassing with my kids.Has anyone had the same expeirence or something different?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to send a message to everyone to let them know I am trying to get a huge movement going......Hopefully by May 20, 08. This is what I am trying to do.......I am trying to get everyone in their home town or state capital to hold a rally to support Barack Obama. I am trying to get everyone to do it at the same time, if we can make that happen. I believe we can!!!! For a little more info on this topic....please go to my page and read my blog on it. I hope to hear from everyone!!!!! Thank you so much!!!

april

P.S.

Let me know if any of you have any ideas about this please.

United We Stand!!!!!!

I had an awsome idea last night. Now some of you that read this might think it's a little crazy, but I think it can be done. Anyhow, this is the idea.........I thought what if everyone who supports Barack Obama in each state was to hold a (rally,demonstration,protest) whatever you want to call it, in each states capital all at the same time around the country????? I think that would make the BIGGEST statement and it would defintily get people to come out and vote in august and in november. If anyone out there thinks this would be a great idea or if they think this is possible let me know soon!!!!! I think it would be awsome to see everyone who supports him to be walking the streets together holding up signs high that say UNITED WE STAND!!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! i THINK IT COULD BE DONE. WHAT DO YOU THINK?????

SO TIRED!!!!!!

By april - Apr 4th, 2008 at 5:13 pm EDT

I am so tired of people talking about race, or talking about Barack's pastor. They need to leave him alone and concentrate on the important topics....like The war in Iraq and oil prices and poverty in america...I know that he is running for president and everyone is trying to get to know him...but it just seems like the isues that they are talking about are taking away from what Barack stands for.
