Barack is set to hit the airwaves in one hour with his first keynote address to both houses of Congress. This is why we elected him, because he knows how to tell everyone what needs to be said, even when the truths are difficult to hear. He knows how to express himself quite well-- so much more clearly and credibly than our recently departed Duuhbya. It's been so long we almost forgot what it could be like to have a President we can believe in. Well, we're finally on the journey now.
I realize the times are tough because of the mess we've inherited from W's 8 long years of ineptitude and slamming the national ship from shoal to reef and back again. It will take time and collective work, some sacrifices and faith in our ability as Americans working together for the common good, to patch the hull and get our ship of state out into the main channel where she belongs. Bailout is a good analogy here... If we work together, we can get this job done!

Well, I got the job! I've been hired as the Legislative Aide for Representative-Elect Nancy Garland of the 20th Ohio House District! Yahoo! I am excited about the position and will do a great job serving Representative-Elect Garland and our district (I live in the district too). I start on January 5th. This is my last and final blog.
President-Elect Obama, for about two years I have been a part of your journey in becoming President of the United States. My involvement has never been primarily about making history by electing the first African American President, while I do believe it is outstanding that you are the first! Nor has it been primarily about creating change in this country, although I believe you have, you will and I want you to! For me, this journey has been simply about helping a great human being achieve his dream.
You have done a great job so far as the President-Elect and will continue to do so as President! You have my love and support, always. I believe in you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer M. Dillard
Haven't been in here for a while. A week or so after the election I thought this site was going to close...I see that it hasn't. Here is hoping all of you have a great Holiday season, as we get closer and closer to the reality of Barack Obama in the Oval Office as the President of the United States. What in the world is Sean Hannity going to do on January 20th? My guess is he will barricade himself in his office, don his gestapo outfit, and listen to old Third Reich music, as the tears roll down his face.
Another thing, that shoe throwing incident in Baghdad. I actually felt some sorrow for our President, as he deftly dodged that pair of size 10 shoes coming his way. After all, he is our President, for the next 30+ days. But the thing that made me chuckle(over and over), was hearing the news people explaining (over and over) that the throwing of one's shoes is a sign of exreme disrespect in the Iraqi culture. Is that to say that in some cultures, you know, cultures not yet discovered by National Geographic, the throwing of shoes is a sign of affection ? Oh well, live and learn.
I'm between jobs right now and thought this might be a good time to share what I've been doing for the past year. Once I get my next job, I probably won't be able to blog again. So, I'm back, for a minute!
I have to give credit to my mother and Barack Obama for setting me on the course that my life has taken recently. Through my mother's death I found Obama and he has inspired me (please read my previous blogs for the details).
I spent the past year working for the Ohio Democratic Party as the Franklin County Field Director . We won the Presidency for Obama and we also took back the State House! I helped build the Neighborhood Leader Program. I recruited and trained Neighborhood Leaders until the program was folded into the Obama Campaign. My focus then turned to the entire Democratic ticket. In addition to Obama's Campaign, I worked on two State House races, Nancy Garland in the 20th HD and Ray Pryor in the 85th HD. Both candidates won!
The Ohio Democratic Party was hesitant about hiring me at first. I was a stay-at-home mother who walked in off the street and asked them for an internship and then a job as Field Director (once I found out the ODP was hiring). I had no campaign experience whatsoever other than the grassroots organizing I did for Obama. I hounded the ODP folks to get a job interview and I hounded them afterwards until finally they said I could work as an intern. They would see about the Field Director position. Well, I worked my butt off for a month and impressed them so much, they hired me as the Franklin County Field Director. For the rest of the year, I continued to work hard and to persist.
I cannot fully describe what a great feeling it is to have earned the respect of my peers. It wasn't because I have a degree from Mount Holyoke College (here in Ohio, no one cares :-) ) nor was it because my mother was the Director of Education in Mayor Coleman's administration (I never mentioned it). I earned their respect because I worked hard, I persisted and I got results. I tell you, that is one of the greatest lessons of my life! Thank you Doug and John for hiring me!
Oh, how I love President-Elect Obama and how I desperately want to work in his administration! I recently learned that my fellow Mount Holyoke Alumnae Mona Sutphen '89 (I'm in the Class of 92') has been appointed Deputy White House Chief of Staff!! Go Mona! Goodness knows, I am so tempted to start hounding Mona for a job. :-) But, I want to pay my dues and to earn my way. So, I'm going to stay here in Ohio. I helped win back the State House and now I want to help push a Democratic agenda (with bipartisan support) in order to improve the lives of Ohioans. I'm in the process of applying for a job at the State House.
As for the future, I want to improve the lives of others by one day running a federal agency or perhaps serving the State of Ohio as Governor. Ultimately, whatever I do, the goal is to reach the end of my life having done some good.
Thank you Mom and Obama for setting me on that path.

I am so very happy today at the positive outcome of last night's election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.
For many, many months I have been visualizing this event, and the important work that will be accomplished under his leadership as President to restore our nation to its position as the world's bright beacon on the hill. We did not get here without suffering, hard work, hope, and persevering faith. Our children will have a better future as a direct result of today's achievement.
All the work at the community level to organize and mobilize to elect President Obama has finally delivered us to this moment. We own it together. Ohio, like the nation, is with Barack!! I am so thankful to my fellow Americans who helped in this effort. At home, I am grateful to my spouse who spent countless hours at our local Obama campaign office working to get the job done. And to Amy, who gave up two months working straight 16-hour days, for the same great cause. And to Cameron and all those at our local Bexley For Barack office... Three Cheers!!!
A SALUTE TO OUR PRESIDENT-ELECT, BARACK OBAMA -- FOR THE PEOPLE!!
And to Michelle, Malia and Sasha-- thanks for your patient support of this man who will lead our nation for the next term. (Enjoy your new puppy, kids!!)
YES, WE CAN. YES, WE ARE. YES, WE DID. YES, WE WILL!

Hey that is a good sign of things to come
I just got back from a day starting at 5:30am in New Albany, OH (Columbus, OH subs). It was a long day but it was SOOOOO worth it
We delivered OH to OBAMA!
Thank you everyone
Now I am tired
You can make that change happen. There are two hours and forty-five minutes until the polls close. There is still time for you to help elect Barack Obama. Click HERE to find a place near you to volunteer.
