If you're a fan of Barack Obama- You'll love this video

By Arturo Perez - Sep 13th, 2008 at 5:02 pm EDT

Also listed in: Californians for Obama | Haight for Obama | San Francisco for Barack Obama

This video is dedicated to the movement that has taken place in this country. We couldn't have done it without Barack Obama and the millions of people who work for change everyday...

This year for the first time since the 1960’s many young people have become engaged in politics and now comes a new documentary film that compares today’s youth movement to the one of forty years ago.

The Bay Area’s own Arturo Perez showcases WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE? You'll journey with him as he takes you down a hilarious and emotional roller coaster as he and his two friends search for the voices of the future. WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE? premiered at the Wine Country Film Festival, and is being showcased online at www.FlowersTheMovie.com

Like Michael Moore's SLACKER UPRISING Arturo is streaming the entire film online for all to see for FREE with the hopes that even more people will become energized about voting for Obama this November!

Watch the entire film for FREE now at: www.FlowersThemovie.com

Everyone should charter buses to the DNC convention.

Hi everyone,

Everyone should charter buses to the DNC convention.

The visibility would be GREAT.

All the buses could have BIG Barack Obama signs on the sides and backs, and everyone could wear Barack Obama shirts. And everywhere the buses or people went, everyone would see them.

Just think about the visibility it would give Barack Obama.

The impact it would have, would be great.

Thanks so much for your time.

Sincerely,

Paul Warnow

Lets get Barack Obama Elected!!!

Lets Get Barack Obama Elected!!!

First, my hat goes off to the many volunteers that are actively involved in helping get Barack Obama elected. Whether they are doing fundraising, phone banking, or visibility & voter registration; its all very important.

I think one of the most critical things any of us can do right now is to reach the Reluctant Voters, individuals who might be willing to vote for Barack Obama; but for what ever reason they are hesitant or reluctant to vote for him.

Outside of commercials, visibility is one of the most effective things we can do, and it is certainly the most inexpensive. Doing Visibility allows our message to reach thousands of people every hour, who we would never normally reach.

Over 300,000 people have probably seen the Vote for Change visibility displays since May.

Please see the following link for photos of the Vote for Change visibility display:

http://www.progressive-alliance.org/vote_for_change_display.htm

If we are to win in November, we will need to focus our time and energy in the most effective manner,

1) With the most influential message.

2) Targeting those that need to be reached.

3) Reaching the most people.

And, we should all be volunteering for at least ONE HOUR A WEEK.

Lets get Barack Obama Elected!!!

Call for Action: Six Month Boycott of the New Yorker Magazine

Call for Action: Six Month Boycott of the New Yorker Magazine

The cover of the New Yorker Magazine is racially insensitive, racially inflammatory, and racist.

Certainly some people will call it satire; but, I believe it has, and will, just reinforce the false racist statements made by republicans, which are intended to undermine and demean Barack Obama.

For this reason, I call for everyone to Boycott the New Yorker Magazine for six months, or until they put someone from the NAACP on their editorial staff for six months, and accept and publish articles on racial insensitivity in every edition for six months.

Until then, Boycott the New Yorker Magazine.
