GUYS....Another example why Hillary is the biggest hypocrite!!!!
Eight years ago, when Hillary parachuted into NY to become our Senator, she and Howard Wolfson became completely obsessed with opponent Rick Lazio's tax returns, which he did not release until the end of August..They talked about them at every opportunity. In early July, Hillary called it "frankly disturbing." A guy in an Uncle Sam outfit was dispatched to be a nuisance at various Lazio events in August. Howard himself showed up once to try to rattle Lazio by offering him a copy of some Chappaqua property tax receipt after Lazio said he'd release his state returns as soon as Hillary released hers (which didn't exist, because she had just moved up here).

"I'm 52, I've been around for a while, and [Obama's] is the most spontaneous, energetic political operation that I've ever seen," said Keith Wilkowski, a lawyer and former Democratic Party chair in Toledo.
Immediately she found the social networking section of Obama's website, my.barackobama.com, which campaign insiders affectionately call "MyBO." Frausto posted a personal profile, just as she would on MySpace, and met other supporters online. Within six months, her group of three women had grown to over 200 members. Together they used the website's event planning tools to organize Obama for President picnics, neighborhood cleanups, phone banks and a 5K fund-raiser run. After Super Tuesday, as national staff for both campaigns descended on Ohio, Obama's state leaders began flexing the power of MyBO and the grassroots network it spawned. Across the state, Obama's 300 web-based groups started canvassing neighborhoods three days to a week before Clinton's campaign, supporters on both sides say.
The articles speaks volumes of what were doing here ladies and gents! Keep up the great wor!
It's gonna be a runaway freighttrain all the way to 1600 Pennsylviania Ave!!!!

A couple of bloggers mentioned this after the debates last night but i wanted to share with this with those who didn't know about the story. I think this was a serious issue that the national media didn't pick up
On a side note many of the bloggers did forward this story to headquarters to make his people aware of it.
Lets be real here folks considering the circumstances especially how some of his rally's are outdoors...this kind of thing is just utter MADNESS!!!!
I urge you to send this story to as many of your friends as possible as i'm quite upset the national media didn't pck up on this story.
Kind Regards,
Charles

From CBS News' Fernando Suarez: AKRON, OHIO -- Hillary Clinton made a stop at the Lockheed Martin plant in Akron today, but about the only thing that was hot in the room were the reactors working in the plant. Clinton received an awkwardly chilly reception at the plant, so much so that upon taking the stage the music was cut short because the crowd was just standing there watching her and no longer clapping. Clinton started her speech by offering her “prayers” to the family members of those who lost loved ones at the shooting at University of Northern Illinois. “I was deeply saddened by the terrible shooting that occurred,” said Clinton. Clinton then began laying out her standard stump speech and when she reached key applause lines like wanting to build up America’s manufacturing plants or offering universal health care or even building America’s national defense programs, there was nothing but silence. In fact, Clinton’s first applause came 11 minutes into a 12 minute speech when she said she would bring troops home from Iraq. Clinton quickly wrapped up her speech following the applause. A campaign spokesman denied that she cut her remarks short and said that Clinton met with supporters and delivered her points of her speech. Having been to more Clinton events than I care to remember, this was by far the shortest speech and most silent reception I can recall.
Like all of you i'm glad our train is still burrowing down the track as we continue gobble state after state and delegates in convincing fashion.
However I felt tonights speech was a bit recycled. I'd like to hear a different tune or hear our beloved candidate articulate more change. At one point when it got the "Yes We Can" segment it was almost verbatum to his infamous speech from New Hampshire and had overtones of Wil I Am's song.
I know. Who am I to criticize him and his advisors right? I know his delivery is ALWAYS spot on. It always impresses and inspires city after city.
But I know at some point, Hilary and McCain (if not the media) will ask him, "What else is there after hope? What else is there after change?"
Anyone else with me or am I alone in this one?
I just found this on YouTube a few minutes ago. Its a CBS interview with Grace Lee Boggs about her prediction of a "New Movement" and a "New Leadership" and how she speaks of the small ones and the grassroots as the leaders in bringing change to a new nation.
It was almost prophetic to hear her words in comparison to where our campaign is today!!!
Awesome!

IT'S OUR TIME NOW. Its starting folks and we need to stand ready.
DO NOT! By any means start resting on your laurels. Just because Hillary is losing money and Romny QUIT doesn't mean were sitting pretty in our camp. If anything its time to press even harder for the upcoming states!!!! It's time to make even more people aware and spread the word that Obama is our answer. HE'S THE COUNTRY'S ANSWER!!
It's important that we stay on top of our game and match those donation pledges. Like Barack said, "He's still the underdog and Hillary is the fomidable opponent of whom we have to catch up to. After listening to the pundits and talk radio shows. With Romney QUITTING the conservatives will rally around Huckaby and McCain. The conservative right will stop at nothing to ensure Obama doesn't win the election and if anything vote for Hillary or surge McCain even if they feel he isn't the best choice.
On Hillary's side, be prepared for the mud to fly. Her camp will rally around her and the donations will fly in. We have to continue to stay on top. We have to continue to spread the word with the same enthusiasm and energy we he had going into this passed Tuesday.
Be aware that many will start slamming Obama's name more than ever saying everything and anything to discredit his and put doubt in prospective voter's minds. ITS POLITICS AND THIS IS THE GAME WE'VE GOT TO BE PREPARED TO PLAY!!!
Educate yourselves with the facts of Baracks campaign. Be ready to refute the wave of lies and mistruthes that will begin to creep and surface themselves both subtly and blatently. Via speechs, commercials, pundits and even rumors.
LETS DO THIS LADIES AND GENTS! REMEMBER WHAT BARACK SAID THE OTHER NIGHT AND LET IT BE OUR RALLY CRY!
"WE ARE WHO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR"
