I chose to phone bank and made MANY calls for President Obama thoughout this campaign!!!
Thank you GOD and I know this is GOD's gift to America to restore our once great country:)
Ms Hillary is the product of the white picket fence family philosophy. She had both parents in her life in a beautiful home with all the necessities, and, yes, her mother baked cookies… They were affluent middle class republicans with just a taste of the finer things in life. Both parents strived to make a better world for their little cozy circle and, probably at times wondered why everyone was not at their success level, thinking that with just a little hard work and patience, all Americans had similar opportunities at their disposal.
We, as agents of change, owe it to ourselves, our children, our country, our world to sit down and watch this together with our families friends and maybe even someone who we misunderstand and who does not understand us either. And we wonder why Rev Wright has a bitter taste in his mouth...

FBI tracked King's every move
I can only imagine the changes a 66 year old black man in our America has gone through. He is trying to have his people, my people, our people stand on their own accord and be self sufficient. I'm white. I was dealt a couple of the aces. I'm in the game for just being born white. But a 66 year old black man must first fight tooth and nail just to be allowed to watch the game, but don't you have the nerve to ask to play!!!
Trinity United Church of Christ led by Rev Wright has over 10,000 members. If this man of GOD was not preaching from the Bible, according to the church doctrine he would have been banished from the pulpit. A pastor's job is to right wrongs, whether they are the wrongs of their members, their community or their country.I cannot for the life of me begin to believe that 10,000 people, many leading lives of service and adhering to the word of GOD, are all wrong...
It is sad we are subjected to undocumented gossip and out of context remarks by our news media instead of the facts. Retractions are later printed but the damage is already done. Below is the beginning of Rev Wright's entry in Wikipedia.
Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. (born September 22, 1941) is a former pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), a largely African-American megachurch in Chicago, Illinois with 10,000 members. In early 2008, Wright retired after 36 years as the senior pastor of his congregation. Following retirement, Wright's beliefs and manner of preaching were scrutinized by the media when controversial segments from his sermons were publicized in connection with presidential candidate Barack Obama.
This man, Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., with his colorful past and biased viewpoint is an all American calling out America to stand up and be the America we should be!!!Thank you Rev Wright for your life of service to the United States of America. You will remain in my prayers... and thru the fire you will be forged into the brightest gold... I know you are a true man of God.

Thank you so much for pointing out the true reason why we should support Barack Obama. He is the most positive, honest and intelligent candidate running who happens to be black and he's "damned if he does and damned if he doesn't" embrace his race. It's sad to say but many white people don't even realize their double standard viewpoint.I can remember a saying white people would say when coming of age..."I'm free, white and 21"That statement has been around for a long time and it is about as racist as it gets...

Dear Gov Richardson, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for publicly supporting Barack Obama for president. This is not the first time I have emailed you Sir. I am quite a fan. You are a warrior statesman for the American people, not a politician and I commend you for your sound judgement, honor and wisdom. You service to our country is greatly appreciated by me and my family. Again, I thank you for not only supporting Barack Obama, but also for your life of service to our great nation.
Prayerfully, E Carol Miracle
BETWEEN THE LINES
Hillary Should Get Out Now
published in NEWSWEEK Mar 3, 2008 Issue
WOW!!! Let's all attack Jonathan Alter for having an opinion in an editorial article!!! What must he be thinking??? Maybe he should move to America where the Americans have a constitutional right to freedom of press...
Agreeing it is time to bow out gracefully is not hating Hillary Clinton. I'm a 56 year old white female and as long as I can remember, politics has a well earned reputation of being a dirty game. I have nothing but love and respect for Mrs Clinton but after researching all candidates of both parties, not only did I decide to support Mr Obama, I'm a volunteer for his Presidential campaign. Check out his record of service. Since his early twenties, Obama has consistantly had the interests of middle class America influence his decisions. Mrs Clinton also has a record of service but, at times, has comprimised the middle class America... the bread & butter America... the working class America...
The dream is becoming reality, one day at a time. Your wife Michelle said you faced adversity and hopelessness in the early years of your political career but BARACK OBAMA neve took no for an answer.I'm ready for some big time endorsements to push us over the edge!!! Where are you Gov Richardson? Hey John Edwards, it's time to make a stand for change that we can only imagine. And I say to Mr Al Gore, "Step out on faith!" C'mon! I dare you! Make America smile!!!
I researched all candidates on both sides of the isle before making my decision to jump with glee that for the first time in my adult life (I’m 56 and white) I would have the opportunity to support a fresh intelligent perceptive statesmen named BARACK OBAMA who just happens to be black. This time, it is not the lesser of two evils having me wonder why I even waste my time with our political American system. Our youth angers me with their apathetic narcissistic attitude in regards to our government but no one is inspiring the greatest natural resource America has, much less cultivating and grooming leaders who will take charge of a broken sick vessel. I had lost all confidence and hope in our American way of life myself. I worry, what are my children and the children I raise to do in our society as it mutates. The white picket fences are gray and rotten and no one is mending or replacing the slates. I am desperately trying to make a difference by starting where I am and doing what I can but no one seems to notice the plight of the everyday family.
In a small home in South Chicago, a struggling family with simple needs and dreams worked to raise their family during the 60s and 70’s. Times were changing and a cultural awakening was taking place. The Robinsons loved their children and each other. All parents want more for their children than what was obtainable to them. Mainly, they just wanted security, dignity and a promise of prosperity for those children willing to work for it. Future generations should continue to have a more comfortable life. Unfortunately, greed and deception ambushed many dreams and life became very dismal for many American families. The American dream was turning sour or unobtainable for some.
Have you ever seen a flower bloom in the cracked cement? Or possibly, you have witnessed a blade of grass pushing through the icy snow to feel the warmth of the sun? That is the analogy I envision when I think of Michelle Robinson Obama. Michelle Obama is my new testimonial role model for America. I have devoured any and all info I can read or view about her. I listened to her speech about “Our Souls have Holes” that she delivered in Iowa and was extremely moved and impressed with her candor. I notice the upward influence she has been in her husband’s life. I believe she has enhanced Barack Obama’s life spiritually, emotionally and provides inspiration to rise above and make this world a better place for the entire world, not just Americans. She’s right, most Americans, like her mother and father, don’t want much. We want an honest dignified life that we earn ourselves.
Barack & Michelle Obama understand Americans like no other candidate running for President of the United States. They have spent their entire adult lives “starting where they are and doing what they can” as my church, New Creation Church in San Diego, has also taught me to do. Michelle & Barack are a charismatic innovative combination, gifted and blessed, ready to motivate Americans working collectively to regenerate our land that we love. The dedication this couple has to each other and our country is phenomenal.
