While the North-South battle will be fought into its final grave, another civil war rages in how to ammend America's original sins--slavery and Indian treatmenm-- out West though aroud ranches and open space, people live very free and are caring of their time, but not their money.
If you don't want the West to go to McCain, speak to the successes of human healing of broken boys and via pride in work and craftsmanship. the couuntry -city battle is going to be nasty when it comes to entitilements. I hope the campaign is ready and doesn't cheat because ALL that we are fighting is just myths, perpetuated as fact, but they are for all intents and purposes, myths
texas surrogate Sen Watson,
wow, that was a problem
Sen Clintons accomplishments pale when you can debate them, surrogate management, what happened?
been sitting on the fence about making calls for a month. done regular phonebanking, but now calling from home!
there couldn't be anything more important today than makings these calls. if you've hesitated, please, please do it

Text of my letter to superdelegate, let me know how it comes off, besides long.
Before sharing my specific reasons, I urge you to support Barack Obama’s candidacy with your endorsement for the upcoming DNC. Resumes and allegiances rightfully dominate the discourse of a politician’s life. Being in your position I too would hesitate to endorse this “rock-star” Freshman Senator on first instinct. Viewing his candidacy though I hope, has already allayed any presumption. Still you have earned a position, you hold power with your delegacy which I can only throw my thoughts against.
my utter agreement with the non-mandate on health insurance as proposed by Obama
these thoughts are worth as much as my intuitive non-research
Barack I think in the Audacity of Hope was talking about
the criticism other contries have of us is like a testament to the regard they hold us to, something like that
of couse it was much better said. i failed exact pharsing to google it. i really want to find it, but 2 days til i have book access. Help anyone?
So stoked for another rally
but wondering how Barack manages, all the work in Iowa, NH, and now ready to go in New Jersey. I'm very impressed and perhaps slightly worried, may the energy sustain him, and we will pick up the movement rolling into Feb 5
For the Obama victory in sight
Help our aspiring, inspiring leader go all the way for a world of balance and peace. Where every aching soul has a place to be all they can be.
I think it is vital that all of us Obama supporters strive to transend the politics which have landed us in this disarray.
Speak with respect, positivity, engagement; and more than anything speak to the common good which this nation is so capable of
We owe this to Barack
even as regular people on the internet we can work to remove future obstacles and resistance to the great movement we believe in.
don't make unecessary enemies, be visible in the good light and in great numbers. LET your Congress Men and Women know they must answer to your distict, and you want them to share in and dicuss Obama's vision
“O monstrous world, take note, take note, O world,
To be direct and honest is not safe”
--Shakespeare’s Iago attacks Othello, 1603
In four hundred years that mantra still finds willing ears and adheres. Directness is not a feature of my culture and if it is direct it is not honest. If someone led Washington being direct and honest, what would we say? Positively: It is too good, too righteous, or we must be headed for a let down. Negatively: stick to corrupt experience it is best. Yet in your own life what have direct and honest intentions brought?..for me it has always been hope...
I am a young person for Obama because the polar-extremities of the 60’s do not exist for me. They are the hot-cold arguments of my parents, which I will gladly take the benefits of: like Civil Rights for black America and later for people with disabilities, but I cannot nod my head to their red-blue song of cynicism, because plainly, that is NOT the America I see. When I deny that vision, it seems I see another.
I see a small town in front of a cluster of sleek windmills under an expansive sky, where one energetic teacher infuses a whole school building with new life, challenging underestimated students, engaging creativity, proving professionalism. I see a town where grown kids like me will want to return make a life in, having expanded their horizons at least once. I see a morphed vignette of the “typical American community” from backwoods Oregon to the block in Trenton, whose values are accessible to all.
Try. Look through the glass isolation or the shoves of racism, and there you will see it: after 232 fraught years, the final birth of an American culture. It is without a historic template or a qualifying prefix; but more than anything it is a fresh term, one that does not turn the stomachs of groups, why,
