Telling it like it is.....truth we can believe in.

Barack we got your back...your pain , your loss is ours!

By Tonia from Brockton - Nov 3rd, 2008 at 7:33 pm EST

I read with a heavy heart the loss of "toot" and your field director from Nevada. I asked God why he couldn't give us just one more day, He said He knows best and it is He who gives and it is He who takes at His time of choosing. I know how sad you, Michelle, Maya and the rest of the family must feel right now.

Be consoled.

Know we got your back and we love you and in Toot' s memory, victory shall be ours because YOU, US deserve it!. You ran a brilliant campaigne like non other.You are the best and I am sure Yoot is taking the news along to Mom and Grand pa and who knows. Your dad too.

May God protect you and your family.

No one can stand in the way of millions calling for change.

What a crowd.
Let us all give our best and not assume any win.

Making calls, Cavassing and donating is the best we can do for our Candidate right now.
I am so grateful for all the support he is getting from us the people. We are empowered so let us go to work. Please make calls to tomorrow caucus states.
God bless every one for their support of kind and cash.
I am donating $50 to drive up the ticker regardless of what it reads right now.....may Barack never need a loan as long as we the people are behind him....

Unexpected comments

I was about to go into fits as Pat Buchana just said on MSNBC with Andrea that Barack was spectacular on last night debate and had enough momentum could compete in CA tomorrow. What happened that he is just realizing only now?????
Funny huh!!!

The Great Contender

A while ago, I picked up the TIME Magazine with Barack on the cover entitled 'The Contender'. I thought the omitted the word the word "great". In my opinion, it should have read "The Great Contender" or the "greatest in a really long time".

Like Barack always humbly says, some great things happen when the lights are turned off and the camaras are kept out. It was surely in the quiet of those moments that those things that molded him, gave birth and life to HOPE that will take central stage to change the world. DNC 2004 (where we all like to think it was where it all began)in response to Kerry's invitation was to many of us, the moment that lit the light on him, and what was once known only to the quiet of those moments and corners of Chicago, behind the scenes of the national stage, would give us gave a glimse of the man of hope; what had been taking place in the dark corners or moments of a him will reignite and awaken our dreams, hope and aspirations. DNC 2004 will introduce us to a leader with his "tongue deep in truth" as oprah puts it and who puts our ears on alert.

Barack has proven himself so far to a man of intergrity and is running one of the most impressive campaigns ever. His graciousness and judgements are appealing. His style, eloquence and oratory, brilliant, amazes and dazzles us and leaves us all in thirst and hunger for want of more.

Who would have thought any one let alone a democrate could stand up to the well organized, well established, well known Clinton camp as we have seen in the last couple of months or in the course of this campaign?. Well if there was a name as we are now finding out, it certainly would not have been a name like Obama which has without any need to apologize established itself as a house hold name across the nation, in states regardless of it being red, blue , purple or however the pundits like to "dice and slice them".

Some Kids have had their parents endorsing him. Some their spouses and some of their own free will. People tear up, cry, explode with joy and some feelings they are yet to describe. It is surreal. It is happening before our very own eyes. And it is taking roots and sweeping across the country.

It is a phenomenon.

"Rockstar" is the term that has been managed to describe him in simple terms and his impact on the crowds he pulls.

His message has been consistent, a message seemly simple yet powerful CHANGE. HOPE. UNITY and every thing else inbetween, in looking forward.
Kids , adults, every one is trying to grab a piece if this and run wild with it. It is drawing faithfuls and believers and opening a window to the possiblities of tomorrow. He is seen by his supporters or followers as the window through which people are able to visualize all this possibilities, through which they see themselves.

So, imagine a president who is able to bring people together and get important things and important legislature passed because they care very much about each other and the people the represent regardless of their color, country of origin, religion or the amount of money in their bank accounts.
Imagine the trajectory he is taking the country to, that of hope, shared prosperity and shared difficulties
Imagine if JFK and Martin Luther King where to come back? How proud would they be?
Imagine that we are all living the dream...that is once generationally.
Wouldn't you say that Barack is the greatest contender to come along in a long time since most if not all HOPE had been crushed and cynicism had taken root?
Now, imagine being able to support and vote for HOPE and Dream come true for President...OBAMA
Imagine possiblities!!!!

Tonia from Brockton.
Please get out the vote
