I received an e-mail from Mitch. (which I believe was sent to you all as well)
I called 3 Congressmen of my district to inform I support President Obama's Budget and
they support as well.
I phoned Rep.Peter J. Roskam(R-IL-06), Sen.Dick Durbin(D-IL), and Sen.Roland Burris (D-IL) offices.
All three offices were responded by secretaries (I believe) and all three offices mechanically answered they will pass the message.
I do not know how much will this help but I felt the big wall (like a wall in China or used to be in Berlin) in D.C. which congressman had forgotten us public.
We elected President Obama, yet as if it is congressman of Republicans and Democrats who are not with the President.
I will stand whatsoever to help the President and will appreciate Mitch had sent us an e-mail.
However we may have to renew all Congressmen if they can not support our President!
Just before President Obama's speech at Springfield, IL for the legacy of Lincoln,
Sen Gregg (Commerce Secretary) pulled out the job.
I felt Republicans are not fair. President had generousty to include him in cabinet with
such a critical job.
Meanwhile, President's speech for Lincoln was so calm and he had no emotions against
Sen.Gregg and he called the union of the state.
It was a crying speech again. I will support President Obama. Yes !
He is my President, your President, our President.
I can not believe how could Republicans, Sen Gregg etc can be against.
Republican Politicians may have disagreements with ideas but still they should
remember we voted him.
Sooner or later Republican politicians will find themselves be eliminated from
us public if they continue.
I can show such anger but our President is so calm and great.
I call everyone to support our President, more.
I stand for President Obama whatsoever.
Today (Feb.7), I hosted an Economic Recovery Meeting in Caribou Coffee Shop in Mount Prospect, IL.
Prior to my comment, I stand whatsoever for President Obama to make him success.
First of all, hosting a meeting was excitement like becoming back a college student.
I prepared for the meeting/read economic plans/watch c-span and cnn/orgnize ideas. etc.
I brought my old laptop to the coffee shop and showed the video of Pres.Obama and Gov.Tim Kaine.
Participants asked me about the Economy stimulus details and questioned about some answers Gov. made.
Especially the question was about the concern of the big deficit from the plan. Because Gov.Tim Kaine:s
answer was not satisfactory to my participant.
I made a comment that this package plan is not only to the bank nor tax cuts but more of constructive use
such will go to education building/library/lab, Health care computor system, Infrastructure construction.
I can tell at least this plan will make the actual infrastructure not only it will create the job for the construction people but also for the people who will maintain and stay with this infrastructre for years.
In accounting terms we have depreciation period and especially such infrastructure under this economic recover package we will have the depreciation period from 5 years to 50 years.
Therefore I will believe it is not the deficit we pass to the future of our spendings today but we will share the spending in coming 50years of future and I support such a futureoriented economic planning.
I was also asked about spending a big money on economy makes some fear about the less money to keep the security issue.
But I answered I believe Pres. Obama is very strong tough President that allows no other country the attack us because he was seriously angry when the Financial People was receiving bonus while Federal Money aided, when he said Shame them.
Hosting an Economy issue was not easy but exciting and also it made a lot of brain work for me today.
I wish I will host more meeting and I regret two people who signed up did not show today.
Guess our continuous grassroot effort will help our President Obama and the country.
Thank you very much for sharing my post.

Opponent supporters says Obama is too idealistic. Someone said it is impossible to lower tax for 95 % of people. Some said no ways to stop using fuel and run with alternative energy sources.
We had too many leaders who did not even challenge.
I at least want to let someone who would try to make the changes.
He is running for USA President and if he says world will follow for the challenge of future.
We live in 21st Century and not the cold war days.
History has moved. Obama's Speech is so great. I have no doubt that he will become President of United States.
His commitment is so big. Obama promised 95 % of working class tax cuts. While he said in 10years we will not depend on oil from Mid-East. He promised new energy jobs. This is a big challenge, far more than JFK said man will go to moon. I wish if I can support anything to assist his goals.
I AM MOVED.
President Clinton made everyone solid that the Clintons will support Obama.
Joe Biden's speech was really a Bread and Butter or Meat and Salad for Obama Sandwich
as everyone said.
I was moved with the speech of Beau Biden, son of Joe Biden. It did to Michelle and everyone.
Great Night but we have to get moving.
I definitely believe Obama will make President of United Sates but we all have to move.
Because this is not for Obama, it is for our Dreams, our Hope, let's get started.
I was very happy to welcome Hillary's Speech today.
My Goddaughter's mother, My biological son's Mother in Africa etc. seem everyone around me supported Hillary from primary while I supported Barack from begining.
Today, I recally appreciated from heart, her speech.
It must had been hard for her to change her attitude but it was very adult speech.
I think with this speech and her attitude from now on will earn her the any post after Obama's win in January.
I was concerned and it touched when CNN introduced one woman from Just Say No Deal Coalition.
Her voice hit me. She said us Obama Campaign did not treat her right to make her vote for Obama.
As Hillary said, it is the time to unite and let us accept Hllary supporter to join our campaign.
No Hard feelings everyone! We both are in same goal.
Solid!
Today's Convention was finalized with Michelle's Speech after her brother's introduction.
I thought it was great. It was so touchy that I cried.
Far more, Michelle's speech was really far out great, greater than any other first lady
in the past.
I just worried her speech was too great but Barack Obama came out on Satellite
and spoke that is why he married made everyone smile and eased our tears.
CNN was little critical with today's Convention about telling personal issues only.
But I thought it was good. I am sick and tired of negative campaign and
despite me myself is a hard deep debator of various issues, I liked it today.
Carolne Kennedy started the speech. Then after the video, Ted Kennedy came in front of everyone.
I cried. Kennedy Family came back. It was miracle that Ted came from Hospital to Convention.
It was 1964 Fall, I still remember. I was Fifth Grade in PS24. I just moved to US and
I hardly spoke nor understood English. But I still remember.
Door was Knocked during the class. Our Teacher turned pale and told everyone
that President John F.Kennedy was assacinated. My tutor student try to tell me and
I did not understand what he was talking but I did understood what happened.
Everyone was crying. I experienced every American people experienced at that time.
We faced a lot of disappoitments and struggles ever since then while Ted Kennedy and
Carolyn recalled us of American Dreams to come back true with Barack Obama.
I was so touched Ted Kennedy appeared and spoke to everyone.
CNN was telling he was carried by Golf Cart and he was hardly able to stand up and
barely difficult to hear what he speaks.
However Ted Kennedy spoke aloud and was standing all the time he made the speech.
I hope my touchy feeling was common to everyone and everyone to vote for Obama.
Ted said he will be with Obama in January.
Thank you Caroline and Ted Kennedy.
Rep, Jesse Jackson Jr. just made the speech to support Obama.
Very Powerful Speech.
Right after the day Obama won IOWA.
I made donation on line and received the email to
Volunteer from Obama Camplain in Adams Street/Chicago IL.
I went there to make a phone call to People in NC
and that day Rep.Jesse Jackson Jr. was there too.
Thank you.
