I think this important that we know how much work we have to do here in Arkansas. Again let's remind the young voters that are in school that they can register their school addresses with their county clerk. Make sure they get absentee ballots as well if they can. Please Arkansas let's do this!

Arkansas lost one of its favorite sons when Democratic Party Chair Bill Gwatney of Little Rock was needlessly gunned down at party HQ is LR. While AR may not be the state with the most electoral votes, we do have the heart and soul of a much larger state. Many here face great challenges in the days to come, and, yes, some will even risk their lives(as so many of our brave men and women do each and avery day around the world). So Godspeed in the last leg of our journey together friends, stay on message, out of trouble, and try to travel with a buddy whenever possible.
Sincerely,

Obama for America 2008
As the Senator has pointed out, we are on our way to the nomination, were going to win so we better all get serious and figure out how to turn our country around. The last three months of our journey are the most important three months in , my opinion of course, our lives. We are at a crossroads in our country and on the world stage.....much of the rest of our planet is watching to see what we do now. Stay on message (change). stay positive and issue oriented ( i get too many mails about other peoples e mails, lol), stay focused because, in the long run, we are changing the way government operates. There are millions, millions of us now and we will not be denied.....we can only fail if we fail to finish strong....make an extra call, or print out a few flyers on break. Help out an old buddy or new friend and tell em how you feel......just be nice, positive, and as President Clinton once said to me' "Always do your best".

To all College & Student organizations in the United States. Please inform your student Obama Organizations that the students can register their College Campus or Student Address on their voter registrations to be able to vote during the Election. Yes they can do this! They can either call their home town to change that registration to their student address, get an absentee ballot or create a new registration with their student address. The College turn out is statistically low every year because most students are registered at home and can't get home to vote. Also if you are going to be 18 by November 4th or on November 4th, you can pre register and be able to vote. So go ahead and register. Please notify your head organizer to get plenty of voter registrations from your city council or wherever you get the registration forms. Please everyone, let's do this, let's swing this election this year. It's to Important. Yes We Can!!!!
Well look at what happened.....could it be another comeback kid? No, I think we may have a Presidential nominee for the first time in my life. I am awed by the changes I see in Jonesboro, Arkansas and around the world. Or could it be that the brighter side of the road has always been there? I know Philosophy waws going to be strange (lol all Phil majors, or should I say "would you like fries with that:))?".? Well see you all soon and god bless you all for the tireless efforts on behalf of our man (and the next first lady). Mark Goodwin

Alll I did was call this guy about making a phone call or two.....ooooops. It's 11:30 on Monday night and I don't want to upset any more Indianaians (what are they called?).......I keep getting calls from TX because evidently I'm the Precinct Captain of the Wharton 0005, and I live on Nettleton Ave......Got invited to go to Jackson earlier in the day by a guy from Memphis i've never met and I think he may have been a clinton operative attempting to send me to one of those secret prisons we read about everyday...........I talked to a lady in Cyeyanne WyY this morning and she couldnt remember what state she was in anymore........i bet thats a great place to get lost......if anybody sees me wandering about a ricefield please just stuff me in the nearest mailbox and i think they will return me to my dog who now runs our house.......hope they don't accidently send me to dad's (recovering clintonite) as that would ruin a good recruitment opportunity. The point I guess is to say I have seen the light, and I'm onboard.......Ive wanted to change the world for the better in some small, but tangible, way my whole life, and now I am ready to stand with you all and sasy YES WE CAN.......I think mabe its true............Well I gota get some rest because the dirty brick shall not clean itself......By the Plumb, and by the trowell, Yours til later:
Despite snow and ice in Northwest Arkansas, more than 50 University of Arkansas at Fayetteville students and residents turned out to watch the CNN Democratic debate on large-screen televisions.
The student television station, UATV, covered the event as did the student newspaper and the Northwest Arkansas Times. Students ate lots of pizza and drew signs for the visibility events we have planned for this weekend and primary day.
Now is the time get and involved and work for change!
Check our calendar of events below and sign up to help Get Out The Vote for Barack Obama this weekend!
Tonight, was the last night of the Presidential debates before the Feb 5th Primary and it was rather civil from what I noticed. However, do not be deceived. For at this moment the media is using the debate's civility to promote an idea that there might be an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket.Whereas, we the supporters at this point do not know for certain and some of us strongly oppose such an idea. However, we as supporters must remember that Barack said it is to early to speculate on such an idea. With that said, we should all take our momentum to the streets and the people and then go to the polls on Feb. 5th and vote for Barack Obama, so that he does get the nomination of the Democratic Party and if there is a ticket in the end such as the previous mentioned it will be Obama being President instead of the other way.
P.S. If your in California, and a member of SEIU, and your local union has endorsed Edwards we urge you to either convince the Union to support Obama and regardles of their endorsement you should vote for Obama.
P.S.S. If you are a member of SEIU Local 100 here in Arkansas regardless of its endorsement we are glad you are here voting for Barack Obama.

Last night Barack Obama told us that:
"The change we seek has always required great struggle and sacrifice. And so this is a battle in our own hearts and minds about what kind of country we want and how hard we're willing to work for it."

Wow, I thought we were busy before, but now...whoah. It's getting crazy here in Little Rock, and I have the feeling it's only going to get crazier. I know that the rest of you out there have the same sort of commitments I do (work, school, family, etc.), so I think it's such a testament to our belief in Senator Obama and his ability to make this country even greater that we are willing and able to give up our free time to help make this man President.
