Happy Holidays to all. We had a great year in 2008. As we transition to 2009 we find the Country in in a mess the likes of which none of us has seen in our lifetimes. Many issues are in the forefront, the economy, jobs, health care, the environment, ethics, equality to name just a few. We as a group need to pressure our elected officials to put petty and personal issues aside and focus on these real issues. It's upto you to lobby your own elected officials on issues that are importaint to you. This is not just a federal effort but State, County & local one as well, these other issues need as much attention as the big national ones. Get involved with the issues that matter to you. When contacting these officials please note your involvment in the Obama campaign. Call, write and email, demand answers & response. Watch the votes & note where they differ from yours and the area represented views. Call them out for their votes. As you know from the campaign you CAN make a difference.
Running for local office can give you a much greater voice in issues you care about. County Committee, municiple office, school boards, volunteer for your local recreation board, sanitation authority, library board whatever interests you. You can be someone whose voice is not just heard but listened to as a mover in your community. This is how the Reagan revolution started, locally. Is it easy? No. But NOTHING worthwhile ever is isn't it?
Well, happy Holidays & happy New Year to all and let's make 2009 the start of the Obama revolution. After all this is what Barack wants us to do! E Z Graff 12-24-08
Here we go 50 days until election day. McCane/Palin now lead in the polls. We all know what is at stake here, don't we? Negative ads populate the airwaves. People are as interested in this election as we've seen in decades. Never before has a candidate assembled all the parts to actually run in all 50+ electorial districts/states. History will be made in this election, either way. Which way do you want it to go? Never before has it been so easy to make an actual difference in just a few hours. You can attend events to canvass, phone bank, data entry & so much more at event locations, local offices & staging locations/homes. From your own home as never before, phone banking though this site mybo in addition, you can join the neighbor to neighbor program right here too. N to N allows you to print out walking lists of your LOCAL undecided voters, there will be 25 of your own closest neighbors to meet and both use what you like about Barack & fulfill the spirit of the campaign which is voter to voter, face to face contact, the MOST effective way to get OUR message out to voters! Complete details avail when you sign up. Lets not forget the out-of-staters, I belive that several have shown up this weekend to canvass. So simply put it's up yo you, Barack can use the help, President Palin????????????????????????? E
