Good morning America!! Yesterday, we had hope. Last night/today we made history in the quest for hope and change. We have hope for the future and now this hope for the future is in our hands - literally - as we cast our votes. Voter registration ------ my friends, is now the order of the day. I have commited to the Barack Obama campaign to work on voter registration. We all need a voice in the general election, and for that voice, we need to be registered voters. The need is comparative to "If you haven't got a ticket - then you haven't got a chance". I trust you are all registered to vote. If not, then please, I urge you to register. You may begin that process here: http://www.registrationbyworkingassets.com/register/?source=homedropdown&api_key=gQKGZ9xr0iTIct4XGnRHB1ALGT4 Secondly, I am begging again. :) This time, I am begging for your time. Please go out into your community and encourage others to register to vote. Just a few hours of your time can make a difference. Please make sure you learn and follow the guidelines of your State for voter registration. These guidelines can be found on the Barack Obama website.
And closing with a message from our future President.... "But this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past and bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love. It's going to take hard work, but thanks to you and millions of other donors and volunteers, no one has ever been more prepared for such a challenge.Thank you for everything you've done to get us here. Let's keep making history."Barack
U.S. Senator Bob Graham, former Governor of Florida, endorsed Barack Obama for President.

Hello all, I received this message from Barb about the group fundraising goal of $5,000 and thought it was a great suggestion:
“Good Morning All,
By my calculations to reach our goal of 5000.00 and excluding the 8 folks who have already donated the 355.00, if we all donate 33.18 we will reach the 5000.00.
Needed 4645.00
33.18 X 140 =4645.00
Just a thought!!
Barb”
So I just donated $33. Let’s reach $5K, $33 at a time!

As we pray for world peace, as we pray for God to give us the wisdom and strength to elect the right leader for this great country, as we pray for Ted Kennedy and his family, please remember the words of one extremely exceptional man:
"But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings."
Kennedy, John F. ·

God Bless America!
I jumped in with both feet and became completely immersed in this campaign. I joined Watchdogs for Obama, they put me on CNN. I faithfully watched and posted comments and sent e-mails. I even made it on air with The Cafferty File.
I slowly became obsessed. I slept three hours a night, barely went out in the world and barely ate. I started posting comments everywhere. I sent e-mails by the thousands. All the news stations, sewspapers and left leaning blogs heard from me, loudly and often. My family have actually been wondering about my sanity.
All the while I have been so passionate and working so hard, I have also been watching others in utter amazement. All the many people working so hard on this campaign and how this campaign has been run, is absolutely incredible and brilliant. I am bursting with pride at all these wonderful things and wonderful people.
It feels so good to be a part of this. We get outraged at some things that are so unjust, we cry at so many beautiful, touching moments, we laugh and dance with good news. Pleople are praying, waving magic wands, baking cookies, spraying *RID*, and dancing.
I love all of this. I love being here.This campaign is just awesome!
What would happen we use goodwill instead of military strength as our primary foriegn policy tool?
YES WE CAN…………

From: Barack Obama [mailto:info@barackobama.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 7:52 PMTo: Yvonne Michelle HarrisSubject: What tonight means
Yvonne -- The polls are closed in Kentucky and votes are being counted in Oregon, and it's clear that tonight we have reached a major milestone on this journey. We have won an absolute majority of all the delegates chosen by the people in this Democratic primary process. From the beginning, this journey wasn't about me or the other candidates. It was about a simple choice -- will we continue down the same road with the same leadership that has failed us for so long, or will we take a different path? Too many of us have been disappointed by politics and politicians more times than you can count. We've seen promises broken and good ideas drowned in a sea of influence, point-scoring, and petty bickering that has consumed Washington. Yet, in spite of all the doubt and disappointment -- or perhaps because of it -- people have stood for change. Unfortunately, our opponents in the other party continue to embrace yesterday's policies and they will continue to employ yesterday's tactics -- they will try to change the subject, and they will play on fears and divisions to distract us from what matters to you and your future. But those tactics will not work in this election. They won't work because you won't let them. Not this time. Not this year. We still have work to do to in the remaining states, where we will compete for every delegate available. But tonight, I want to thank you for everything you have done to take us this far -- farther than anyone predicted, expected, or even believed possible. And I want to remind you that you will make all the difference in the epic challenge ahead. Thank you, Barack Obama
WASHINGTON: John Edwards, an influential Democrat and erstwhile candidate for the presidential nomination, cautioned Sunday that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton "has to be really careful that she's not damaging our prospects" by staying in the contest now that Senator Barack Obama appears to have won it.
With the race rapidly evolving into an expected faceoff between Obama and Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, McCain's surrogates came out with some of their toughest attacks on Obama on Sunday. Mitt Romney, who lost his fight with McCain for the Republican nomination but now strongly backs him, said Obama was "clearly out of his depth."
The sides clashed bitterly over Obama's suggestion that McCain had "lost his bearings" for saying that Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, favored Obama.
While Edwards, of North Carolina, has not endorsed either candidate, he made it clear that he saw little chance that Clinton could manage a come-from-behind victory. "You can no longer make a compelling case for the math," he said, referring to delegate totals that increasingly favor Obama. "The math is very, very hard for her."
Some other leading Democrats, including the 1972 presidential candidate, George McGovern, have also cautioned Clinton to rethink her campaign.
Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, predicted Sunday that the long-contest for the Democratic nomination would be over soon. Referring to superdelegates, he told Fox News, "You're going to see people making decisions at a rapid pace from this point on."
But Howard Wolfson, a senior Clinton adviser, struck a feisty note in saying that if Obama wanted Clinton out of the race, there was a simple way to ensure that: "Beat her. Beat her in West Virginia, beat her in Puerto Rico, beat her in Kentucky."
She is favored in those coming contests; Obama holds an edge in the others, in Oregon, Montana and South Dakota.
Already, McCain and his surrogates have begun strongly criticizing Obama.
Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent Democrat who has endorsed McCain, assailed Obama for reacting in what he called an "undeserved and somewhat intemperate" way after McCain pointed out repeatedly that a Hamas spokesman had said he would welcome Obama's election.
"The fact that a spokesman for Hamas has said he would welcome the election of Senator Obama really does raise the question of why," said Lieberman. Hamas, he said, was a proxy of Iran.
McCain had said, "I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States," referring to Obama, and added, "I think that people should understand that I would be Hamas's worst nightmare."
Romney, who is now considered a possible McCain running mate, sharply criticized Obama for his vow, if elected, to prepare the groundwork for talks with the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The former Massachusetts governor had said earlier of Obama that "he has not accomplished anything during his life."
In a CNN interview, Obama called McCain's remark offensive. He called himself an "unwavering ally" of Israel and said his policy on Hamas - that it was a terrorist organization, as the United States has declared it - was no different from McCain's.
"For him to toss out comments like that, I think, is an example of him losing his bearings," Obama said.
When that part of the pretaped CNN interview was aired earlier, McCain's advisers called it an ill-disguised attack on the Arizona senator's age. Obama's aides said it was nothing of the kind.
Obama spoke respectfully of Clinton, saying she has been "an extraordinary candidate," and predicted a Clinton victory in West Virginia by "a big margin."
With Obama leading in the pledged delegates decided by primaries and caucuses - and the two expected to split the remaining contests - Clinton's only real hope now rests on a favorable decision when the Democrats' rules committee meets May 31 to decide how to handle the disputed primaries in Michigan and Florida.
Michael Cooper contributed reporting from New York.
Join Roland Martin for his weekly sound-off segment on CNN.com Live at 11:10 a.m. Wednesday. If you're passionate about the topic, he wants to hear from you.
Roland Martin says Sen. Barack Obama must fight back after the damage Rev. Wright inflicted on his campaign.
(CNN) -- Let's not kid ourselves. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright was going to be a part of this presidential campaign through November, whether Sen. Barack Obama smacked his former pastor upside the head, or not.
Now that he has taken the necessary steps to separate himself from Wright, Obama must go on his most vigorous offensive to date and make it clear that he is running for president, and not Wright.
Sen. Hillary Clinton is doing all she can to make the case to undeclared Democratic superdelegates that Obama is a wounded duck because of Wright; that she has a better shot at winning white working-class voters; and he's not tough enough to take on Sen. John McCain.
With that said, Obama is leading among the pledged delegates and the popular vote. He's also significantly closed the gap between himself and Clinton in superdelegates. Bottom line: He's winning.
But now it's time for him to ratchet up his message and to take back the stage from Clinton, McCain, and of course, Wright. One way to do that is to be far more forceful in advocating his position and direction for the country. Here are a few suggestions:
Let voters know that you will be calling the shots, not Wright. I've seen e-mails from voters who say they will not vote for Obama because of Wright. The junior senator of Illinois must challenge them directly.
Tell them flat out that Wright will not keep their homes from foreclosure.
Tell them that Wright has absolutely nothing to do with gas prices doubling under the presidency of George W. Bush.
Make it plain that your name is on the ballot and not his, and you're the guy who has the right plan to transform the country.
Have your supporters increase the book sales of Alan Greenspan. McCain said last year that the economy wasn't his strong suit, and that he needed to read up on the books of the former Federal Reserve chairman. I would put some of those young supporters to use and have them greet McCain at every campaign stop with a copy of a Greenspan book. Even print up some Greenspan masks and hound him to death.
Then you must back that in-your-face campaigning with an economic message that speaks to the masses, especially those blue-collar voters. Show them that the Bush tax cuts that McCain wants to continue will benefit those same business owners who are shipping their jobs overseas.
Tell blue-collar voters that the hedge fund owners that are snapping up companies and slashing their jobs don't care about them, and will be happy to fund the campaign of McCain.
Make the case that he might be a good guy, but he's more concerned about the tax bracket of his wife (she's worth in excess of $100 million) than the middle- class voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
They say you've got a white problem? Tell those white rural voters that voting against their economic interests is political suicide.
Make it clear to women, especially white women, that Roe v. Wade will be extinct if McCain wins. The next president is going to choose three Supreme Court justices.
There is no way -- no way -- that the religious right will let a President McCain appoint anyone with a moderate bone in his or her body. Remember Harriet Miers? Bush even said he knew her heart, and they told him to go to hell.
What Obama has to tell those women, who are supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton in huge numbers, and will be disappointed if she's not the nominee, is that sitting at home on Election Day, or crossing the aisle and voting for McCain, virtually assures that a woman's right to choose what to do with her body will be taken from her.
I would run an ad slapping a large "C" for conservative on the faces of Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Antonin Scalia, and make it clear that three other justices will likely step down.
If McCain chooses, the new justices will vote with the conservative bloc. That is a day the pro-choice movement never wants to see.
Make college tuition a cornerstone of your campaign. You and Michelle paid off your student loans three years ago -- why keep that such a secret? Hit folks over the head with it.
With Sallie Mae cutting back and being more selective on student loans, parents' ability to pay for their kids to go to school is a huge issue. Push it. Hard. Don't let it be just one of many items on the list.
Convene a panel in Indiana, North Carolina and Oregon of parents and young folks and let them express their fears about not being able to go to college and get a good job. There isn't a parent, aunt or uncle who isn't concerned with that issue.
The war still matters. I'm watching Lanny Davis, a big-time Clinton surrogate on "Larry King Live," challenge Obama's judgment on attending Wright's Chicago church for 20 years. Obama must re-engage the electorate and say that the judgment of Clinton and McCain has led to a war that has cost us 4,000 lives and billions of dollars.
Those costs are real. Don't let it slide by. Ratchet up the sound. Don't let voters forget for a second that the wrong choice was made by your opponents.
A lot of folks are assuming the doom-and-gloom scenario for Obama. Everyone is saying he's toast, and this race is over. But we forget that conservatives really don't love McCain, and the evangelicals aren't hot in love with him either.
Go back to who you are: Mr. Change. Drive the issues home in a more forceful manner. The election is little more than six months away, and a whole lot can happen between now and November 5.

Well, March 4th, finally! I have butterflies in my tummy. My heart is racing. I am so excited. I get to go vote! I have always been proud of my voting record, but this time it all feels different. This time there is a certain, I don't know, is magic the right word? Maybe not magic, maybe it's inspirational? Anyway, I can hardly wait, but wait I must.
My van is broken. My town runs a trolley car as a bus through the tourist season but it probably isn't running on this day and even if it was, I don't have the dollar to spend for the trip there and the trip back. So I wait. All the members of my family in all the various towns and cities around Ohio will be voting for Barack today. I am so proud!
Still waiting I anxiously glance out the window and worry. We are under a blizzard warning. The snow has been coming down for hours. I worry that my sister who is going to take us to vote will wait until it is too late. Then the icing starts. By the time my sister and I are trying to make it out to the car the ice is two inches thick, coating everything. It is hard to walk, the cars that are out are going at a snails pace and we are all sliding about like toys in the hands of small children.
We make it to the polling place but as we are trying to get out of the car the extremely strong wind blows the car doors out of our hands. The ice stings our faces and any exposed skin we have. It hurts, bad, worse than riding a motorcycle in the rain. It feels like a thousand needles in our face. We slip and slide across the parking lot and finally get into the building. Trying to catch our breath we make our most important mark for Barack Obama. A thousand more needles in our face and we are headed back to the car.
I had an overwhelming urge to cry, not from the needle feeling or the worry all day of not making it to the polls and not from the wind, ice and cold sucking the breath from me. I wanted to cry because of that certain feeling, the majesty of it all? No, I got it, an honor. It was an honor to place my vote for Barack Obama.

Of course, I thought before I even start writing, I might as well fess up to it. It is in the spirit of honesty that we long for and aspire to permeate our national scene. It is what we require mostly in our local elections, and slowly the local politicians, yes, the local politicos are no longer doing business as usual. Instead, they actually conduct a survey of local residents to determine what are the citizens' priorities, how do they really see the city's budget as a statement of their neighborhood values. Indeed, they are getting it.
We of course wish that what our locals do in vibrant cities of Southern California and Northern California actually translate to the state governance. Yes, we can actually do that, elect representatives that not only care about what we think but actually deliver on our legislative input. I wrote my legislator the other day suggesting a legislation perhaps for public safety and in less than a week, I had an answer that spoke to my concern. Yes, we can actually have responsive state officials not just in the assembly but also in the Senate.
Now, translate that to our federal government and what if we actually have federal officials who responded to the national citizens' priorities and actually performed federal inspections of manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, bottled water, toys, foods, regulated them, balancing the interests of these industries and actually met their public health mission uncompromisingly in favor of national citizens' interests and not the politicians nor the industry interests that foot the bill on new drugs and new devices review?
And what if we had a president elected who did not do politics as usual, but actually heard the voices of millions of American citizens and listened to their aspirations? Would that not be such a thrill, to actually have a federal government that serves the interests of all of us, of all of the working families, of all the professionals, of the homeless, of the poor, and actually had the higher public good in mind before making his presidential decisions?
And while we are it, I wonder if former Presidential candidate John Edwards has now considered his choice for president? Has John Edwards now ponder that he has seen enough of negativity from the other side for him to register his choice now, no longer fence-sitting, but throwing his hat on the presidential candidate who aspires to unify us, a presidential candidate who responds with grace, facts and substance to define who he is?
Do you suppose we can all take a stand and declare this type of old politics, Clintonese style, is no longer what we choose as our daily media diet and that our stomachs can no longer digest their dirty tactics? And away from the negative piggery swine of politics that the other side has thrown into the campaign of Senator Barack Obama, with of course help from chameleon media allies and those who call themselves "Obama - supporters but are not" bloggers?
Are there enough good men and good women out there who can help us coalesce into one force for higher public good for our beloved country, America, whose actions are aligned with their words?
Enough of old dynasty politics and their marriage with swinelike, racialized politics whose formulaic sum is subtractive divisiveness, one that results in additive benefits for the few, multiplying misery for the majority and utter division of us from our common national purpose and discourse, called the American democracy!!
Ray Bawarchi
21 April 2008 - Issue : 778
Barack Obama is a singular figure in American politics. Since George Washington, every single one of the forty-three (43) presidents of the United States has been a white male. Only three African -Americans have ever even been elected a governor of one of the fifty (50) states. Only one Native American has ever been a US Senator. Hardly what one would expect in the alleged "melting pot." For the last eight elections a Bush or a Clinton has been on the presidential ballot. Hardly what one expects in a democracy.
That Obama should emerge now may be simply an accident of history or it may be symbolic of something far more. After 9/11, America had its best opportunity to lead the world. The outpouring of sympathy provided the chance for the US to wipe the slate clean, so to speak, with the rest of the world for our bullying, imperialistic foreign policy over the past 50 years. A foreign policy that spoke publicly of freedom while propping up dictators and ignoring the suppression of rights in oppressive countries with "friendly" governments.
The scale of 9/11 provided an opportunity to start fresh, to recognise that our actions were at least partially to blame for what happened. Instead, Bush heard the jangling of his spurs and engaged in cowboy diplomacy, he attacked. But it wasn't just the militaristic nature of the response. It was the attitude that because the US had been wronged any response was justified. The rendition of prisoners to foreign governments was justified as was the debacle at Abu Ghraib. Guantanamo was opened specifically to circumvent the US legal system.
Within the US things also drastically changed. A chilling effect occurred as people suspected and talked about now confirmed domestic spying. Widespread wiretapping, data mining and the monitoring of anti-war groups have all been verified. Antiimmigrant sentiment grew as fear was manipulated in the national mindset through Homeland Security alerts. The loss of constitutional rights seemed in danger of being accepted as irreversible.
In 2004, the politics of fear was elevated to an art form. Fear of terrorists, fear of immigrants, fear of homosexuals, and fear of anything that could divide the populace became the electoral mantra. Those who questioned the assumptions of this approach were accused of hating the country. Those who spoke out against our actions were accused of aiding the enemy. Meanwhile those within the government constructed rationales for torture and alienated most of our allies.
The idea that the world was filled with dangerous foes intent on harming us became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Attacking Iraq and using words such as "crusade" Bush inflamed former moderates against the nation. The US continued its sabre-rattling against Iran and North Korea even after becoming overextended on two war fronts, becoming nothing but a giant bully forcing its will on the rest of the world. Bush is the living embodiment of this attitude. A proudly ignorant rube who fiercely rejects any point of view but his own, his idea of diplomacy is to threaten other nations. Even allies are given ultimatums.
The "Coalition of the Willing" is really the coalition of the threatened. It is a change from this worldview that I believe the rest of the world sees in Barack Obama, a man so different from Bush he might well be the anti-Bush. He is an intelligent, erudite individual who was the editor of the Harvard Law Review. When he could have had practically any job in law, and the accompanying salary, he returned to Chicago to work as a community organiser.
Growing up bi-racial in mostly white Kansas, later living in Hawaii and Indonesia, Obama has lived a life that gives him insight into the world at large. He has a half-sister who is Indonesian and a niece who is Chinese-Canadian. He even has a paternal uncle who is involved in Kenyan politics. In a time when the world is filled with tension between the Western and Islamic worlds one would think that such experience would be an immediate asset. Instead, some in the US accuse him of attending a Madrassa and being a Muslim.
Again, the politics of fear rears its head. To the world, the election of Obama would signal an outward and visible shift from the insular and at times proudly ignorant foreign policy of the Bush Administration. For the world the noteworthy factor of the Obama election would be an American leader who understands that there is a reality that exists beyond the myth of the American mindset.
But for Americans this signals something even more significant than it does for the rest of the world. To those of us who have sat in embarrassment before the world and boiled in anger at our government as our nation has become an international pariah, the election of Barack Obama would signal that there is hope that we may once again live up to our professed ideals. In an effort to be safe we have surrendered that which is the best of our country and given in to our worst selves.
America stands at a crossroads. It can choose to continue down the path it is currently on and become a third-rate, has been on the scrap heap of history. Alternatively, it can change course and try to refind that place that made it great in the world. Obama is symbolic of this change. More than anything else his election represents the clearest break with the politics of the past.
The politics that led to deals with dictators and a foreign policy centred on military might are on the ballot as well. Obama signals a demand from the American people for a different approach. What his election says to the world is important. To Americans, what the election of Obama would say to us ABOUT us is even more important. He signals that the US can strive for greatness in a way not related to military conquest.
Yes, I did cry! The control arm on my van is broken, crumpled, if you will. Gas prices were high even six weeks ago. On a fixed income, we live meager, so even if the van were running, I could not afford the gas.
Why did I cry? Not because of my fixed income or the broken van. Not because of gas prices. It was because of an hour. Yes, one hour. One hour of time.
You see, I live in Sandusky, Ohio. We are in the middle of the state on the north coast, smack dab between Cleveland and Toledo. Cleveland is one hour from us to the east, Toledo one hour to the west.
Barack Obama campaigned in Cleveland and Toledo, both one hour away. I had no way to go see him. One hour might as well have been a million. So I cried.
The Day is Always Darkest Before The Dawn.
One pitstop along the road to the Presidential Nominee is not worth winning with deceit, lies, manipulation and bullying. Barack Obama continues to maintain his high standards - the standards which we across America want our future President to abide by and maintain. It is important to note that that while one may win the battle, one may lose the war because of the tactics utilized to win that very same battle.
America, we are not stupid. Please let us use our common sense and see who can lead this country to unity, happiness, prosperity and truth. This last part of the campaign was besmirched and was an utter disgrace. Senator Obama will continue to hold his head to the sky, and it is up to us fellow Americans to follow, and be steadfast in our loyalty and integrity.
Please let our voices be heard, and not be distracted by lies and deceit and false promises. Unfortunately, Senator Clinton has disappointed many of her former camp followers, and this victory may not be all that it appears to be. Notwithstanding that, we should congratulate Senator Clinton on her victory. Her "stay" in Washington taught her well.
God Bless America - this is a wonderful country - and I hope we end up with the best person for the difficult job of building this country. Senator Obama is the man for the job, so let us just cut to the chase and cast our votes in the right direction.
Good night America - and God Bless.
Thinking my son and I had our "work" cut out for us, we started talking to people about Barack Obama. Some members in my family don't have cable tv and they actually didn't know much about Barack. My sister-in-law said she felt a certain loyalty to elect a woman into office. It was interesting to find all the different reasons people vote for their candidates.
What I didn't factor into any of my "work" for Obama, was Obama. There is something about Barack Obama. You can't say to know him is to like him or to know him is to love him, it seems that it is to know him is to ABSOLUTELY love him. I was so wrong, it was not ''work' to convince others to vote for Barak Obama, it was easy.
