Well let’s get to it. Let me begin by stating that I am no Joe the Plumber, not even close.
I am a retired educator from a battleground state (Ohio), which has suffered yet another plant closing, living in a state now where 40% of homes are in foreclosure. I support Senator Barack Obama because he is the real deal.
I just heard a Republican surrogate criticize Barack Obama saying that he was not qualified to be president because he did not travel to Afghanistan.
Now let me tell you, I spent most of my career working and counseling in the inner city of Cleveland Ohio. From my perspective, until John McCain travels to Hough, Glenville, Cleveland’s near west side and comparable areas of other American cities, he is not qualified!
This is where the real “Joe” the plumbers, waitresses, sales people, hospital workers, cleaning people, bus drivers, and other “Joes” and “Jaynes” live. I know because my father was a waiter (now they are called servers) and my mother was a secretary working for the Defense Supply Center Region Cleveland (Fed. Govt.) and I was raised in Glenville.
I might not have grown up in Sarah Palin’s “patriotic part” of America but I assure you that my parents were patriotic and loved America as do the millions of folks that still live in inner cities around the country.
When Cindy McCain challenged Barack Obama to walk in her shoes, I thought, I challenge you to walk in my shoes or the shoes of any of the ordinary Americans your party now claims to represent. I have seen Senator Barack Obama walk in the shoes of ordinary Americans during the primary season. He began his career in the South Side of Chicago.
It’s one thing to say you put America first. Barack Obama has shown that he puts Americans first.
No matter what he says,it is a matter of public record that John McCain has been a an exponent of deregulation throughout his career. He has stated that the healthcare system would be better if it were deregulated like the banking industry! Events in recent weeks have shown us what a folly that would have been.
McCain has stated repeatedly that he is against goverment control of our healthcare while he himself is the beneficiary of a government run healcare program. I am certain that the healthcare afforded him as a US Senator has been a source of comfort to him with all his health issues.
I am a recent retiree and will soon come under the medicare system which I have been contributing to for many years. It would be a disaster if John McCain were allowed to direct our healthcare system not only for seniors but for all of us. We already have folks deciding between food and medicine and cutting their own prescribed dosages down to save money.
We need a president who understands what real Americans need. Barack Obama's own mother had to deal with a broken health care system and he is committed to fix it. He will make health care affordable for all Americans and he is the only candidate I have every heard talk about prevention as a way to stem the rising costs of health care. It's one thing to say you put America first it's another to actually do it!
Barack wants us to be healthier but if we do get sick or need an operation, he wants us to be able to afford it withough losing our home or going bankrupt. What a concept!
Barack Obama has a comprehensive plan to pull us out of this economic crisis as well as reform our healthcare system in a way that will help all Americans. His recovery plan puts us first, not Wall Street.
Barack Obama is clearly the right choice for me and all of America. He is the leader who will put all Americans first.
Twenty days and praying.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR PICTURES - CAMPAIGNING WITH YOUR GRANDCHILDREN!
Hi Carole (Obama_grandmama@mac.com and grandparents everywhere as well)
I look forward to your emails, even though I don't live in WI, but rather in CA. I have relatives in WI, so I am a member of your listserv. I am a single grandmother raising my grandchildren (a second family after I raised my four kids) and have raised them from toddlers to teens. It's so great to see another grandmama so politically active and astute. I was wondering if you would join our group www.grandparentsforobama.org (or) www.grandparentsforobama.com which had several delegates in Denver, were an active presence there, and are very devoted to proving that we "older folks are not resistant to change. We relish CHANGE that could restore this country to it's former greatness on the World scene, guarantee our retirement and see that we do not leave our children and grandchildren to choke on debt, destroyed international relations, the loss of constitutional rights for women, a destroyed environment,(my personal horror) the loss of endangered species, and a never ending list of atrocities. WE WILL VOTE FOR CHANGE!
Are there actually smears being spread against our generation? Are the Republicans saying that everyone over 50 is stuck in the past - afraid of the promise of a bright future if we need to adopt a policy of CHANGE - and clinging to John McCain because he is old, with stuck failed policies and that's all we have the intelligence to believe in?Well, let me tell you, John McCain, and your imported brutal wolf killer, that we, as a voting block are LONGING FOR CHANGE, TO RESTORE THIS COUNTRY TO BE CAPABLE OF ONCE AGAIN, OFFERING THE AMERICAN DREAM! We want to know that we do not leave behind the destruction that the last 8 years has created. We still dream! We dream about the restored America we can make happen We want to assure that we don't lose everything we worked for all our lives to become a problem to our children and grandchildren. We want CHANGE to be our legacy to the children and grandchildren we love.
We want to tell them, that one day our country met a man who we recognized would take us forward, restore us, take us by the hand and pull us out of the shame wrought upon this beautiful country. He was Barack Obama and we recognized him as the leader who the World would applaud. He, we can tell them, did just that! We can tell them that the safety they enjoy was because this man was CHANGE and we embraced it. We knew he was CHANGE WE COULD BELIEVE IN! Barack Obama presidency will leave a legacy that will allow us to proudly say that we knew would make the sum of us better than each of us. There is a man, an extraordinary man, who is the voice of reason and a beacon of light in the chaos and darkness. He is a standard bearer against a government for the rich, deregulation for the greatest of all scams perpetrated upon this country which took place under the noses and protection of the Republican party. This same party, who are now grandstanding their reluctance to bail out that which they have caused. This degenerate party has hopefully self-destructed without taking the entire middle class with it. It has collapsed before our eyes, and God forbid threatened to bring down everyone who was not part of the well lobbied, and now spoiled feast, spoiled by the worst unchecked greed this country has known. So, please join us.
We are not the sheep, not afraid of CHANGE! We are the generation who was known to shake up the status quo, refuse to accept corruption, bad wars, and discrimination against women, minorities, gays, and we stood up and created CHANGE! Don't try to make us believe we are the old, the fearful, the prejudiced, that we just can't get what all the young people see and are embracing. WE WERE THE FIRST GENERATION TO ROCK AND WE STILL DO! BA-ROCK AND ROLL!
Remember when we marched, came together against what we could not accept, and made our voices heard? We can do that again. We can do it NOW, AT THIS MOMENT, FOR THIS CANIDATE, FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND FOR A BETTER TOMORROW!!! Please join us at www.grandparentsforobama.org and blog with us too at grandparentsforobama@groups.barackobama.com on MyBarackObama.com (search grandparents)We are a force to reckon with!

THIS ELECTION NEEDS OUR VOICE!
The Children's World is in Your Hands
Grandparents for Obama
The article below is very encouraging coming from the from the Kansas City Star. I am pleasantly surprised at the opinions stated, This is a an example of a state where we need Grandparents for Obama representation since MO is currently reported as leaning McCain This article suggests a chink in McCain's armor. I too believe that older voters. (I am a member of www.grandparentsforobama.org as the older vote is so essential this election) are not pleased with arrogance and disdain of McCain so dramatically obvious in the 1st debate, He has no shame after his complicity in the complete Republican failure of leadership in America over the last 8 years. www.grandparentsforobama.org is a National group and our membership is spreading across the country with a membership from a large number of states. We need a large number of grandparents, unified for CHANGE from every state in the nation.
We are working to CHANGE the direction of this country for our children and grandchildren. I am a single grandmother who has raised my grandchildren from toddlers to teens. We are working together for this campaign. I know that young people are afraid of what has become of the country they will inherit. We are horrified by the complete disregard for the disappearing middle class, America's poor and unemployed. We as seniors are worried about what will happen to our own social security, retirement, and our futures as well. We want to make things better for our children, not become dependent upon them on them. We certainly hope it will!
The Republicans are trying to demonize AARP, which is putting up a spirited fight against private social security accounts.. Bush and McCain suggested that older Americans are standing in the way of change to protect their own retirement incomes - an insulting tactic that could backfire.
Those who have already reached retirement age understand better than anyone that a guaranteed safety net of social security could be as necessary for coming generations as it is now, when nearly two out of three retirees rely largely or solely on Social Security. So we are looking out for our children and grandchildren, an act of responsibility not self-interest.
McCain has aligned himself with Bush on almost every issue in his tenure as the Senator from AZ, one of the nations most right wing states. We need change there too and have members on the ground to energize our party there.
Lets, show this country that as older voters we trust Barack Obama and that the Change he promises is for 95% of us. There is a myth that we, older voters, as a voting block, are afraid of CHANGE. Being afraid of the disaster in America, taking us to the brink of a depression, soaring unemployment, and the threat of privatizing our social security is the real fear, not Change!! We're not fooled or stuck in past failures. We, grandparents have had enough of the devastating results from the McCain supported, deregulated financial institutions and their investments. Should we toss our retirement into the same heap that has just failed to the tune of a trillion dollars? McCain thinks we should. Should we pay taxes on our health care benefits? McCain says that if he is President we will. In a desperate attempt to win at any cost, McCain and the Rove gang found a woman for his running mate that was to appeal to the block of voters McCain had never reached. Sarah Palin stands for nothing that McCain's claims of reaching across the isle and maverick politics was painted to represent. He has been pro-choice, believes in global warming, against off shore drilling, and it appears that the straight talk express is the double talk express. The maverick, non-conformist is a genuine schizophrenic chameleon, willing to sell us all out for his personal gain. He no longer knows his own platform or himself.
McCain is agitated and behaving erratically. It was unnerving to watch him during the debate. He appeared so unstable - not a condition suitable to the Presidency. And, a 72 year old's (with a horrific health history) heartbeat from the Presidency is a candidate who is the greatest insult to America's intelligence in political history. The arrogance of McCain to belittle us like this. Sarah Palin is the final straw, the final threat, the last insult and greatest danger of our times, perhaps greater than the financial holocaust we are now facing. We could find ourselves with a constitution run by a particular religious vision, and a woman who loves to have her finger on the trigger to have her finger on America's nuclear power. Sarah Palin, with no knowledge of foreign policy or the federal government who has only had a strobe light intro to foreign leaders (conversation consisting of what?) It would be funny if it wasn't real! This is a CHANGE I am afraid of! I am not afraid of the CHANGE Barack Obama is offering us! I am not afraid of the CHANGE that recognizes the plight of the middle class and wants my second family to have health care, food on the table and a roof over our heads that we are not afraid of losing. I am not asking for 8 houses, jets, servants or becoming the "Chairwoman of the Beer Board". I am afraid of a President who can't relate or recognize what the middle class is! How can McCain know what we have lost? He lives in a mega-millionaire's bubble and his entire history is tax breaks for the rich. When has he spent 5 minutes fighting for me?. Lies! I AM AFRAID OF 4 MORE YEARS OF A REPLICA OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND MORE LIES. BUT, DO NOT TELL ME THAT I AM AFRAID OF CHANGE - I AM FIGHTING FOR THE CHANGE TO MY LIFE AND YOURS THAT BARACK OBAMA WILL BRING US.
How can anyone, anywhere who is not rich, vote against their own best interests and against someone begging to help them. I watch the crowds, obviously middle class people, who gather to hear McCain's speeches or Palin's rhetoric and I wonder who these people really are. Who could listen to someone who saw to it that the financial industry was deregulated so the greedy rich could run wild with our money?. Who could vote for a longtime cohort of Bush and his cronies - the fraternity of greed and lies? Why would they cut off their feet rather than walk away? I AM NOT AFRAID OF CHANGE. I SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA AND BELIEVE HE WILL RESTORE AMERICA. If you have friends who don't understand, help them understand. Reach out and help them see through the lies and the mask - the many masks of McCain.
Please, if you are a grandparent join us, or if you know grandparents tell them about us, If you have grandparents tell them they can be empowered by www.grandparentsforobama.org Together, we can help every older voter grab the gold ring of CHANGE! Each of us can be a strong link in a long chain of older voters who have the power to increase our state's and national polling in this crucial election. This election will determine the fate of the middle class, those who will be retiring, those who have retired, and the future of our grandchildren who we must protect from Republican greed. We are their voice.
Please join us!
Thank you, Susan Federighi

Kansas City Star Article:_______________________________________________________________________________Poll results for first presidential debate (with update of independent voter poll): Obama wins
By George Harris, Kansas City Star Readers Advisory Panel 2008
Who won the debate?
Ignore all commentators' opinions expressed without evidence. The winner is determined by the numbers, especially the votes of the undecided. Here are some preliminary answers:
CBS Insta Poll shows Barack Obama won 39% to John McCain's 25% with 36% saying the debate was a draw.
Insider Advantage reports of those polled Obama won 42% to McCain's 41% with Undecided 17%
CNN reports voter opinions that Obama "did better" 51%, McCain "did better" 38%
The CNN poll showed men were evenly split, but women gave Obama higher marks 59% to 41% for McCain.
The CNN pollster noted a slight Democratic bias in the survey. Well, there just are more Democrats in the country. So more Democrats watched. However, this may also suggest Democratic enthusiasm which will help turn out the vote.
The MSNBC on-line (non-scientific) poll showed Obama winning the debate 52% to 33%. (But this is what one would expect from such a poll at MSNBC because of the nature of its viewers.)
MediaCurves.com reported Independents favored Obama overall 61% to 38%. (I do not know this organization or know how it conducts polls, so take results with a couple of grains of salt.)
Some free analysis: As I noted on this site during and after the debate, McCain appeared angry and dismissive of Obama and generally impressed as someone who would slap colleagues across the aisle if reaching over to them. He said several times in the debate that he hasn't won the Miss Congeniality contest in the Senate, and he proved why during the debate.
I suspect that women voters especially would be turned off by McCain's sarcastic tone because women do tend to be the conciliators in our society and saw Obama display those conciliatory qualities very well in the debate. Obama looked at McCain, and McCain wouldn't return the eye contact but rather glared or displayed a tight and angry expression.
I also suspect (but don't have the data to support) that older voters were also turned off by Senator McNasty. I believe older voters will also be reassured that, though McCain has been around longer, Obama has a good grasp of foreign affairs and can learn quickly. He impressed as a statesmen, in marked contrast to McCain's warrior demeanor.
McCain referred to Obama as naive or as not understanding on many issues when the listener probably saw a mere difference of opinion. McCain's condescenion felt annoying; to the listener who might agree or disagree with Obama, Obama nevertheless was making good points, not naive ones.
In general, I think the country is tired of negativity, and McCain's performance didn't give anyone the impression that age has mellowed him. In fact, he seemed rather proud of his continuing bellicose manner. The country seems ready for a change from the "fighting as first choice crowd."
Watch for new polls over the next week. Things can shift for a variety of reasons as people reflect on the debate.

The] Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was to be held outside on the lawn in front of the Loussac Library in midtown Anchorage. Home made signs were encouraged, and the idea was to make a statement that Sarah Palin does not speak for all Alaska women, or men. I had no idea what to expect.The rally was organized by a small group of women, talking over coffee. It made me wonder what other things have started with small groups of women talking over coffee. It's probably an impressive list. These women hatched the plan, printed up flyers, posted them around town, and sent notices to local media outlets. One of those media outlets was KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke, a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host. Turns out that Eddie Burke not only announced the rally, but called the people who planned to attend the rally "a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots," and read the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The women, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages.I felt a bit apprehensive. I'd been disappointed before by the turnout at other rallies. Basically, in Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it's a success. So, I thought to myself, if we can actually get 100 people there that aren't sent by Eddie Burke, we'll be doing good. A real statement will have been made. I confess, I still had a mental image of 15 demonstrators surrounded by hundreds of menacing "socialist baby-killing maggot" haters.It's a good thing I wasn't tailgating when I saw the crowd in front of the library or I would have ended up in somebody's trunk. When I got there, about 20 minutes early, the line of sign wavers stretched the full length of the library grounds, along the edge of the road, 6 or 7 people deep! I could hardly find a place to park. I nabbed one of the last spots in the library lot, and as I got out of the car and started walking, people seemed to join in from every direction, carrying signs.Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not inclu ding the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didn't honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesn't happen here.Then, the infamous Eddie Burke showed up. He tried to talk to the media, and was instantly surrounded by a group of 20 people who started shouting O-BA-MA so loud he couldn't be heard. Then passing cars started honking in a rhythmic pattern of 3, like the Obama chant, while the crowd cheered, hooted and waved their signs high. So, if you've been doing the math… Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin's rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy the photo gallery. Feel free to spread the pictures around to anyone who needs to know that Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans. The citizens of Alaska, who know her best, have things to say.

NY Times Editorial Board goes after McCain for his lies. Tells Americans to be wary of any McCain ads. Please digg and spread this as far and wide as you can. They endorsed him in the Republican Primary. Get this to battleground states.
The kindergarten ad flat-out lies: telling voters that Mr. Obama’s “one accomplishment” in education was to favor “comprehensive” sex education for 5-year-olds. “Learning about sex before learning to read?” intones the voice-over, as a blur of respected sources are cited — none of them accurately, as they have proclaimed. The truth is that as an Illinois legislator, Mr. Obama favored a sensible bill supported by many mainline organizations — including the Illinois Parent Teacher Association, the Illinois State Medical Society and the Illinois Public Health Association — to provide an “age and developmentally appropriate” sex education curriculum for older students.
At most, kindergarteners were to be taught the dangers of sexual predators. And parents of children of all ages had the right to withdraw their children from the classes. Surely, Senator McCain knows that all that change he’s promising for the tooth-and-claw Washington culture must start on the hustings. Yet, the kindergarten ad that he’s blessed signals that his goal is shamefully more of the same. The way these ads work, this one is already playing over and over on the Web as a free-media “ghost,” in professional parlance — too late for any cynical expression of regret by Mr. McCain. And no regret has been offered. The lesson for voters is to be wary of all ads from the McCain machine. The lesson for Mr. McCain is that if he really believes in straight talk, he should fire his ad writers and any aide who believes that the best way to win the presidency is to lie to American voters.
I am very much opposed to having Hillary as Barack's running mate. She has said and done too many negative things during her campaign to come back now and say that he is the greatest. I also understand that Barack has to what's best for his campaign but I hope it does not include naming Hillary as his running mate. Please tell me what your thoughts are. Thank you for listening.

People want to hear about the issues. You people are more interested in ratings than you are about focusing on what is important to Americans. You have turned what should have been one of the most proud moments in our history, a race between a woman and an African American, both highly qualified, into an ugly competition between networks to see who can destroy whom the fastest.
I challenge each of you to think about why you entered your chosen profession. Then try to remember who were your heroes or heroines in journalism. How would they be covering this historic moment? Would they be doing in depth studies of the character and the policies of the candidates or would they be using snippets by either the candidates or their associates to smear them and thus affect the opinions of millions of Americans causing them to perhaps make the wrong choice? Do you want to live in an America who chooses its President based on half truths and innuendo? Many people rely on you folks for the news and regard your word as gospel. Do you not feel any responsibility to at least know the truth before sending information out on the airwaves?
The poll below is one off Lou Dobbs' web site. Most Americans won't even see it. It's just included here to start the conversation.I also include it because I believe you the media are most responsible for what the candidates are talking about.
Do you believe the Democratic Presidential candidates are spending too much time talking about race and gender, and not enough time talking about the real issues that matter to Americans?Yes87%3050 No13%458 Total Votes: 3508 This is not a scientific poll

Listening to Pat Buchannan and his guest I would like to point out a few things. According to the latest Department of Justice statistics, 67.7% of all crime is committed by whites and 28% by Blacks. When one takes a closer look and breaks down the statistics down to types of crimes such as forcible rape (65.3% by whites), assault (63.3% by whites) and weapons carrying (57% by whites) we find that in fact White criminals commit more of the crimes that might actually prompt someone to cross the street. Furthermore, considering the rate of recidivism and the notoriously poor representation afforded many Black offenders, most of the crimes committed by African Americans are more likely committed by the same repeat offenders. The actual percentage of the Black community who are criminals is in fact very, very small. Mr. Buchannan’s insinuation that Whites should fear Black people they see on the street is the sort of racial divisiveness we don’t need in this country.
Over and over you have stated that you are the one who can win the so called big states, i.e.. California, New York, Ohio. Are you saying that if Senator Obama gets the nomination you would not go into those states, campaign and attempt to get those votes for him? Whom do you expect the voters that supported you in the primaries to support? Will you encourage them to vote for the party's nominee?Will you vote for the party's nominee if it is Senator Barack Obama? If you don’t win Pennsylvania , then what? If we have a do over in Florida and Michigan and you don’t win, then what? How many fire walls do you get?
