First NO ACTION on Don't ask don't tell-even though on this very site under issues, DADT was going to be "One of the first things to change" we are waiting............................ Still Waiting...................................... Then the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DEFENDS DON'T ASK DON'T TELL! I went to several rallies, spent hours waiting in line, Donated $1,000.00 out of 10 mos. of disability checks, and NEVER left the house without an OBAMA Shirt, Sweatshirt or hoodie for this??? Now today the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION defended DOMA!!!!! With what only can be described as VERY offensive language! Well Happy F#$KING PRIDE WEEK TO US! And I haven't even gotten into the backsliding on the Environment, The Wars, Taxing Healthcare????? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OBAMA THAT WE SAW BEFORE THE ELECTION? I'm still going to wait and see if this is some type of STRATEGY, but I won't wait forever! Remember President OBAMA, we the PROGRESSIVE voted you in-not the FAR RIGHT! Peace... Carl D. Fox

Our President Needs Our Voices!

Dear Friends, President Obama needs us to help overcome the Republicans obstructionism. Even though he has reached across the isle, in ways I have never seen in my 50 years, all he got in return is a Cold Shoulder! It is now up to us, the Millions who support him and want Real change, to speak up! And it is EASY! If you have a phone you can call your Congress members. If you have pen and paper you can Write them, but let your voices be HEARD! The right wing is sure talking, and if we don't step in to remind them that they got us into this mess, they will keep us in this mess! The only people making money right now are the Fat Cats who have intrenched leaders in the congress trying to stop CHANGE! If you would like to help our President, call congress, tell them what you support. Be sure to be polite and respectful, give them your Name and address, tell them to write you and explain there feelings on the Economy, BUT TELL THEM TO SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT! Make sure to tell them that they work for WE THE People wether we voted for them or not. The GOP leader in the Senate is Sen. Mitch McConnell, his office # in Kentucky is(859) 578-0188, in Washington his # is (202) 224-2541. Sen. Jim Bunning's # in KY is (859) 341-2602, in Wash. it is (202) 224-4343. Rep. Geoff Davis # in KY is (859) 426-0080, in Wash. it is (202) 225-3465. If you want the # to other Congress persons you can call The Federal Information Center at 1-800-333-4636. I have called many times, and always ask for a written response to my questions, and suggestions/demands. So use up some of those "rollover minutes", or call locally, BUT CALL! Tell the congress that we believe in President Obama, That we want and expect Them to support President Obama, or we will Vote them out and vote in congress members that will! Just Let Your VOICE Be Heard, OUR PRESIDENT NEEDS US NOW MORE THAN EVER! Just Call! Thank You... Peace&Love... Carl D. Fox

Election Day

Also listed in: Kenton County, KY for Obama | Northern Kentuckians for Change

Well it was a little touchy here at my voting place in Northern Kentucky. One machine went down, workers appeared to be confused - it was 6:00 in the morning though. But I did it. Proud to vote Obama/Biden ticket. Can't wait to get off of work this evening and watch the results.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Obama family. This has been an unbelievable experience.

Warmest thanks to all of the workers on this campaign. Let's win this election.

Ready for November 4th

By Barb T. - Oct 30th, 2008 at 3:45 pm EDT

Also listed in: Kenton County, KY for Obama

Like so many others, I am 45 years old, and have never been this involved in a presidential election nor have I ever donated money to a campaign before. I am a Kentuckian and am "Driving for Change" this Saturday to GOTV. Can't wait.

My support of Barack Obama started back in 2004 while I was watching the DNC. When he began his run for President twenty months or so ago, at that moment, I was 100% behind him. Nobody else. I'm very proud to say it has been Barack all the way.

One of the greatest side effects of this campaign has been my relationship with my 20 year old daughter. This is her first election. She is so into this campaign. She hasn't taken my word or opinion on anything. She has diligently watched the debates, read up on the internet and lots of talk around the table. She was(is) a Hillary supporter. Sen. McCain thought by taking this "maverick" woman with him, he would win votes like my daughter's and mine. NOT. So, I'm happy to say that she is also behind Barack. What an exciting time at our house.

As I walked into my neighborhood pub last night, proudly sporting my Obama/Biden button, when someone looked at my button and whinced. I had to ask if she really wanted to go there. She asked me why I was voting for "him". I said I can tell you from my own personal experience. I lost my job in 2005, I was making good money. I thought I would be okay until I found something else. I had some money in the bank to fall back on and, if need be, I had a ROTH IRA. I went on unemployment. It took me six months to find a job. There went my cash on hand. And, when I did find a job, it was a temporary one with no chance of permanent hire. The company had a hiring freeze on. So, now I have a temporary job, making a little more money than unemployment, no benefits, working farther away from home, everything costing more. There went my ROTH IRA. It took me 2 years to find permanent, full-time employment. Is it what I want to do? Probably not. But, its work.

She sat there listening to my story, nodding her head, appearing to be listening. I continued with my message of not being able to handle another 4 years of the same last 8 years. That we need a better America. And, how I feel that Barack Obama is the person to do just that. She asked me a few more questions such as is "he" a muslim and did "he" want to take guns away. I answered the questions and then she thanked me for my time and for clarifying some answers as to her worries.

I have often asked myself if I could answer questions knowledgeably about Barack. Thank you for having this website with all of its wonderful tools. I feel very confident on being able to answer questions on the issues.

I am so ready for November the 4th. Obama/Biden 2008 - Yes We Can

The Obama Campaign is ignoring Kentucky!

By Carl - Sep 22nd, 2008 at 1:27 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

Why is the Obama Campaign ignoring Kentucky? I know we don't have a lot of delegates. I know there is a 30 point lead for Mcain, according to the polls. But as we all know POLLS CAN BE WRONG! I am 50 years old, I have been regerstering voters for many years, and I am telling you there is a LOT OF SUPPORT FOR OBAMA in Kentucky! This is supposed to be a republican state, but you hardly see any Mcain signs at all, but you sure see OBAMA signs, and stickers! New voter registration is up very dramatically, 2/3 for democrats, and for the first time in over a decade Democrats out number Republican registrations by a wide margin! But people in Kentucky want to know they matter! If Obama can't come to speak send his wife or Hillary, or even Bill Clinton! I have been trying to order signs from the store since August 18th, 10 of them! I have called 4 times to see what has been holding up my order, I am told they are having trouble getting the metal rods! Go to Ohio, I have been told! Well I went to Ohio, and they have plenty of signs, but they say OHIO FOR OBAMA! Ignore this state and it will go Mcain, and I think that would be a tragedy! People in this state, like every where else in this country want REAL change, not more of McSame! We are hurting like everyone else, and I think there is a real opportunity here, but not if we are ignored! Even our Democratic Headquarters in Covington can't get campaign Button's, Sticker's, or Signs! They too are feeling forgotten and demoralized! Please, please Senator OBAMA, or your staff, PLEASE DON'T IGNORE KENTUCKY! We want you to win, and we want to be a part of it! Very Sincerely, Carl D. Fox

Mcain will cost you your health care!

By Carl - Sep 10th, 2008 at 6:09 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

Dear Friends, I hope you have been reading up on the candidates intentions for our country. One item that seems to surprise most people that I have spoken to is John Mcain's Health care policy. He intends to TAX your health care as income! I find it pretty ballsy for him to accuse OBAMA of planning on raising everyones taxes, when Obama has made it clear that only those making over $250,000.00 dollars a year will have their taxes raised! Everyone else will see their taxes GO DOWN, and receive a tax rebate to help with our current economic problems. In addition he intends to lower taxes on small business! As an owner of a small business, I assure you that if Mcain is elected and starts taxing the health benefits that we give our employees, we will be forced to drop our employee health plan! How in the world Mcain thinks by increasing TAXES on small businesses is going to help or solve the health care crises is beyond me. But then again, how you can trust a man who says he respects our troops, but votes against giving them the same veteran's benefits that our WWII vets got. And votes to "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques", a bill that passed into law and signed by Bush, that would make the exact techniques used to torture Mcain in vietnam legal. Is also beyond me! Wake up America, do you really want a man for president who has supported Bush over 90% of the time in the last eight years running this country? We need change, REAL CHANGE, not four more years of the same old lies and politics as usual. If you don't believe me, go to his website and look up his answers on the issues, check the Congressional record, check the facts! And check out Obama's site as well, then vote for real change! GO OBAMA GO! YES WE CAN, YES WE WILL! Peace&Love... Carl D. Fox

I have 1 House!

By Carl - Aug 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

Dear People, Do you make $5,000,000.00 a year? Do you have 7 Houses? Do you have a feeling that the economy, or the Banking Industry is sound, then I urge you to vote for Mcain! But if you have 1 house, make a modest income that no longer keeps up with inflation, if you dread the next utility bill, the next gasoline fill up, the next trip to the grocery or are worried wether your job will be there tomorrow or next week! If you are struggling to take care of your family, worried wether you are saving enough for your retirement, or you have a loved one serving proudly in the military, then your choice can't be clearer, VOTE FOR OBAMA & BIDEN! I have had the great blessing of living to the age of 50! But for the first time in all those years I am TRULEY worried for this Nation, and this Planet. What will happen if we have 4 or 8 more years of the same! I thought Nixon was a crook, but Bush makes him look like Mother Teresa! Under Ronald Reagon I couldn't find a job even to buy one, and I have worked since I was 15! But even he didn't have the debt that Bush has left us and our children and our children's children to deal with. And Mcain has stood by while all this happened and now embraces President Bush and his failed policies! There was a time that I would have voted for Mcain, when I thought he stood against the lobbyist's, when he spoke plainly and honestly, but the powers in the Republican Machine made it clear; Change to our way of thinking or you will never be a candidate for President. So he drank the "Kool Aid", and he changed! He is no longer the "Maverick" that I had so much respect for, even when I disagreed with some of his positions, I at least felt he was honest. But after some of the out right lies that he has put in commercials against Obama, I can no longer believe in him. He has even endorsed President Bush's "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques",the very same techniques that would make the Torture that John Mcain went through LEGAL! I have 1 house, or I should say had. I am now disabled. I can't own anything, I had to go on Disability and Welfare! Why? Because unfortunately I have been sick since the day I was born. I have suffered with many, many illnesses all my life. My Doctors wanted me to Disable out 30 years ago, but I went on, but 2 years ago my insurance reached $1,400.00 a month, and was increasing 30% a year! It would currently be over $2,000.00 a month. I just could not make it any more, I had to go on the "dole" as my late father would say. I am not proud or happy about this, but I love Life, and I want to live! But I need Universal Health Care! And don't misunderstand me, I DON'T WANT FREE HEALTH CARE! I want something that I can reasonably afford. My doctors tell me never to lift over 12 pounds again, my legs and arms are failing, and they tell me that anytime I lift more than 12 pounds I can take another day off of using them, but I would drop my disability in a second and go back to work. and work till I drop if I could get affordable Health Care, it was how I was raised! These are the issues I feel that we as a Nation are facing in this election, and someone who doesn't even know how many homes he has can't possibly understand! And that is why I am voting proudly for Obama, and urge everyone I know to do the same! Sincerely, Carl D. Fox
