Finally! After years spent on the Obama campaign, the time has come to see the fruit of our time and labor. November 4th will not only be an intelligence test for America, it will be a sanity check. If this country achieves its freedom from the Special Interest in spite of its media propoganda machinery, we will have redeemed ourselves as an intelligent and sane people.
I am a Staging Location Director for Fulton County. We are fortunate to be located at Metro Lanes at 1959 Metropolitan Pkwy. Our staging area is in the ballroom on the right side of the complex. The management of Metro Lanes complex have been unbelievably helpful to the campaign. The volunteers have worked tirelessly to get out the vote. The time has come to put Barack Obama in the White House! Please join us.
This video is from Barack and explains the Bill Ayers issue. It is clear that McCain, Palin and the RNC are planning to paint Ayers as a terrorist and try to link him tightly with Barack.These are the facts. Barack was 8 when Ayers was participating in some deplorable acts during the Vietnam Era which was a time when there were a lot of radical movements and things happening. I am not defending Bill Ayers but this happened during a terrible time in our history and it was 40 years ago.Barack served on a board with Ayers which was appointed by a Republican. There is nothing here but we know they are going to try and make this look bad.On the other hand, McCain voted twice against stopping DOMESTIC TERRORISM. Watch this terrible video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDlpWfLyYssI guess he feels it was okay to BOMB medical clinics and kill doctors and patients! TERRORISM is terrorism and if the McCain camp wants to go there then I think we should bring this up. Just because McCain does not approve of a Women's Right to Choose does not mean it is OKAY to BOMB clinics and KILL doctors and patients. So, does the McCain camp really want to go here? They will and they will get away with it unless We all say ENOUGH and let him know WE know about his votes to stop actual terrorism HERE in the US.Come on Obama supporters. Barack and Joe need our help and full support in these final days! Both of them have the integrity and intelligence to lead us through this Crisis facing all of us. We have the power to stop this nonsense and we have the TRUTH and the FACTS on our side. Let's use them! Thanks,LuAnn in Indiana

Watch this and think if this man could talk to foreign leaders or make rational cool headed decisions. This is so scary. He could blow up and not work with anyone he did not like. OMG he even shoved a woman in the hallway and has called his wife the c word in public!
You have watched how hateful and condescending he has been towards Barack and even the media now. He is out and out lying and will do anything to win.We need this out there viral and let people see the REAL McCain.......not the kind of PRESIDENT we need in this time of crisis!
Watch the video and send it to friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAyK-enrF1g

If Palin gets VP talk about anti American! She is stirring up hate wherever she goes. We have to say Enough!
This is not acceptable!
http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/10/07/palins_unamerican/index.html
We don't not need hate and partisanship stirred up. Palin is stirring it and McCain is letting her run free with whatever she wants to say. This country needs to work together to get us out of this mess we are in. Barack is the only one who has the intelligence, knowledge, temperament and vision for that great future.Let's all help Barack and make sure all the slurs and hate stops!
Enough!
These are facts about McCain, his family, his life and all the mistruths that he likes to brag about. Please take the time to watch these and you may be shocked.People everywhere have the right to know these things about John McCain.He is no maverick. He would be a disaster as President. He is strictly out for John McCain and has proven he will say or do anything to get elected.Please help Barack and share these facts. McCain’s campaign is getting nastier.
Thanks, LuAnn

I am not sure if you got to see Barack on the Letterman show last night but he was fantastic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hf6qd8b65s
I just posted this video on the DIGG site and really would appreciate you going there and digging it.
I took a swipe at McCain and how his VP pick was strictly a political move and how Barack vetted Joe and made "HIS OWN DECISION".
If we can get enough Diggs on it it will possibly be in the top 10 of the day and everyone will see it.
It would be super exposure for Barack as he commented on the stupid "lipstick on a pig" controversy and made some other great comments on several things. He showed both Humor and also made some great POLITICAL points!
Please take a minute, watch the video and PLEASE go to DIGG.com and digg it. The Republicans have been burrying some of our good stories on the DIGG site so PLEASE help!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=955Y3NJTRIE

TIME MAGAZINE:Angry AmateursPosted by Joe Klein | Comments (383) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Email This The story of the day out here in Minneapolis is the McCain campaign's war against the press. This has been building for some time. Those of us who have criticized the candidate--and especially those of us who enjoyed good relations with McCain in the past--have been subject to off-the-record browbeating and attempted bullying all year. But things have gotten much worse in recent days: there was McCain's rude, bizarre interview with Time Magazine last week. Yesterday, McCain refused to an interview with Larry King, for God's sake, because Campbell Brown had been caught in the commission of journalism on CNN the night before, asking McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds what decisions Sarah Palin had made as commander-in-chief of the Alaska national guard. (There was an answer that the unprepared Bounds didn't have: she had deployed them to fight fires.)So what's going on here? Two things. McCain is just plain angry at us. By the evidence presented in the utterly revealing Time interview, he's ballistic. This is a politician who needs to see himself as the man on the white horse, boldly traversing a muddy field...any intimations that he's gotten muddied in the process, or has decided to throw mud, are intolerable. The second thing is more insidious: Steve Schmidt has decided, for tactical reasons, to slime the press. He wants the public to believe that there is an unfair--sexist (you gotta love it)--personal assault going on against Palin and her family. This is a smokescreen, intended to divert attention from the very real and responsible vetting that is taking place in the media--about the substance of Palin's record as mayor and governor. Sure, there are a few outliers--and the tabloid press--who have fixed on baby stories. That was inevitable....the flip side of the personal stories that the McCain team thought would work to their advantage--Palin's moose-hunting and wolf-shooting, and her admirable decision to have a Down Syndrome baby. And yes, when we all fix on the same story, whether it's a hurricane or a little-known politician, a zoo ensues. But the media coverage of the Palin story has been well within the bounds of responsibility. Schmidt is trying to make it seem otherwise, a desperate tactic. There is a tendency in the media to kick ourselves, cringe and withdraw, when we are criticized. But I hope my colleagues stand strong in this case: it is important for the public to know that Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library and thinks the war in Iraq is "a task from God."

Republicans are hoping that when Americans watch this week's Republican convention, we'll forget about the last eight years.
So we've put together this list of the Bush administration's "accomplishments."
It's actually shocking, even when you've lived through it. Take a moment to read it and pass it along:
We can't survive another four years of this. Can you chip in $25 to defeat John McCain?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=1
More highlights of the Bush record:
John McCain supported this president from the start. We have a plan to beat McCain by registering half a million young voters in swing states. We're ready to jump into action—we just need to pay for it. Can you contribute to help elect Barack Obama?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=2
Here are more of the Bush administration's failures:
A lot of folks think McCain will be better than Bush. But don't count on it. His foreign policy advisers are to the right of Bush. And 90% of the time, McCain has stood with Bush. Please help beat McCain. Just click here to contribute:
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=3
The list goes on:
John McCain would be four more years of the same. Can you donate $25 to elect Obama instead?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=4
Still more:
Can you pitch in?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=5
Bush failures, continued:
Had enough? Donate $25 to elect Obama.
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/bushfailures.html?id=13678-9501139-knLKhpx&t=6
Then forward this email to your friends. We don't have to live through four more years of this. We have a choice.
Thanks for all you do.

I sent this too Barack and staff but please sjare it with everyone else!
I am writing this as to alert you and the Barack team of what I have been hearing through my many groups and blog sites.I am hoping this helps in some small way.
Our country needs Barack NOW!
Sincerely.
LuAnn in Indiana on the main Barack site
Thanks for the warning, Kelin.
I'm a retiree of HP and can tell you first hand Fiorini is smart, cunning, Republican to the core, knows how to knife her opponent. My coworkers and myself all knew she would end up in the Republican political machine - and sure enough.
When she rears her very attractive, very ugly head - watch out. She pretends to be feminist; she is NOT. Like I suspect Palin (else why would she accept putting this country at such risk with her meager background), Fiorini is power hungry. I hope the campaign, including Barack's spokepeople - get your message. LJ

I Spent Years as a POW with John McCain, and His Finger Should Not Be Near the Red Button | Election 2008 | AlterNet
I sent this to several medias. Don't know if it will do anything. Please share. Barack is getting put down so wrongly!
Michele was great last night!
Please read this and use it in any way you legally can. I am so tired of hearing Barack being called a Muslim and Michelle being accused of hating this country.Now these NEW ads that McCain is running using his POW experience to win "hearts and minds" is too much.I fear all his negative campaigning is winning and the polls are showing that.
Is there anyone out there who can bring things like this article to daylight?Why does the media protect McCain from the terrible way he cheated on and dumped his first wife for Cindy?If it was Barack who had done that the world would know.I talk to people daily who had no idea of his infidelity, his wife's bringing drugs in for her personal use through her out of country programs and I hear and also receive daily emails saying that Barack is a Muslim and worse. Why do more people not hear about how low in his class McCain graduated? I would think intelligence is a priority in a President of our country.
I also feel as this fellow POW does that a man with a "hair trigger" temper should not have his finger on the "button".There is freedom of speech in our country. Sean Hannity , Rush Limbaugh,Ann Coulter and others spew lies about Barack constantly.Can the MAIN STREAM media such as MSNBC please say or do more?McCain is "swift boating" Barack and WE all know that was all not true. John Kerry should have been President.Bush stole the election from Gore. Please can someone with some power help out people like me in the true EVER DIMINISHING MIDDLE Class?
I know I live in one home.
I know what a gallon of gas costs and I now people on minimum wage are hurting badly. John McCain does not care, nor does he have any way of identifying with the TRUE middle class people.His family has always had money, he is John S. McCain III and he married an heiress. How can he possibly feel for people who make $6.00 an hour?He wants to privatize Social Security and could care less if we have health care. Is it true he collects his Social Security? I happen to have Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance through my X husband. Each year I am given the chance to choose which type of insurance I want. If I want to pay a lot less, I can even choose an HMO.
I believe that is the same insurance the Congressmen and Senators have and I also believe they do not have to pay for their's. If everyone in the country paid into this they should be able to get the same benefits.I pay $600.00 a month for myself but I have very good insurance. If I could not afford that I could choose a lesser plan each year.
Hello fellow Obamacans!
While I was at my Mom's in my small home town, I read the "Daily Clintonian" and they had the definition of a Liberal in it.
I wanted to share this with you all, since the Right (wrong) Republicans always make it sound like a dirty little 4 letter word.
Read this and you tell me just what part of it you are not proud to call yourself!
Liberal....1a.....Not limited to or by, established, traditional, orthodox or authoritarian attitudes, views or dogmas: free from bigotry.
1b....Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broadminded.
Gee if only Mr. Bush and Cheney were one of these! LOL!
I am not sure about you but I feel preety good about being able to call myself a LIBERAL and I would think anyone with half a brain would like to think of themselves as one!
Just wanted to share a smile!
I am so glad Barack is going on this trip tomorrow and I am sure he will make all of us and all of America proud.
He is so Presidential and I can see him fitting in in any circumstance he is in. I think Senator McCain is really afraid that Barack is going to do very well.
One proud Barack friend,
Hello everyone!
I am from Indiana and I know there is some buzz about Senator Bayh as a possible VP. I really liked him but he lost some of my respect when he campaigned all over the state with Hillary.
I can't believe Barack would pick her after all the negative things she has said about him
I personally like Senator Biden. I know he is a Washington insider, but he speaks his mind and does not tend to pander.
He has a lot of Foreign Affairs experience which Barack needs and I think he would counter attack anything McCain decides to throw out there!
Just expressing my thoughts. Would love to hear yours!
LuAnn............................Obama......'08
I was sent this and wanted to share it. I know McCain attended an all male school and this appears to be his opinion of women. It is funny we NEVER hear bad things about him or Cindy/
Google Cindy Helmsly. She cheated with John and broke up their marriage has admitted to stealing drugs from one of her foundations and even lied about cookie recipes.
John left his CRIPPElED and "CHANGED" model wife Carol to marry Cindy.
John DID NOT LIKE the WAY she looked anymore.......what more could YOU SAY ABOUT A MAN WHO would do this.
Do you think HE looked the SAME after he came home from VIET NAM??
Why is the Press giving them a pass? Michele gets attacked for everything she does or says.
I am a middle aged white female and I can not imagine why any one like me would vote for McCain.
Please watch this.I know we are suppose to stay POSITIVE and I want to and will but this is too much.
Cindy is personally attacking MIchele! Look at her background and behavior and then question why we do not hear any of it!!!
LuAnn Yes We Can....Obama 08!
