I read a story last night that needs some publicity. It's not a copyrighted work so I will reproduce it wholesale, but you can find it by clicking here
This is not my story, but it is indicitive of the movement that is building to take America back:
This afternoon I started calling West Virginia for Barack Obama. I had read "Big Coal" by Jeff Goodell and felt a special empathy for the people of West Virginia and wanted to share with people why I thought they would be best served by an Obama presidency.Most of the people I called weren't home so I left several messages. I did speak to one woman who was undecided and said she appreciated hearing from me and having a chance to hear what I had to say. She said she was most concerned about the candidates' principles and their faith.Then came the call that put a wrench into my calling.

I am not an expert in Texas politics, but this I have no question is true :
"Texas Republicans have worked overtime to make it harder for key Democratic voting groups to vote and be represented fairly. The redistricting games they’ve played are infamous. And for the Prairie View A&M University precincts, they put the early-polling place more than seven miles from the school."
1000 students at Prairie View A&M decided to something about it...They shut down the seven miles of highway as they marched to early voting.
You can view a video of the march here:

This is Texas we're talking about. Things, they are a-changin'. Indiana's turn is coming soon.
