Finally we have a candidate for the office of the President of the United States who understands that we are all part of one human family. Clearly, Barack Obama sees that we are all in this together. Quoting Barack Obama, "Part of what we've lost is a sense of empathy towards each other." We have lost a sense that we must stand in others' shoes, that we must see through their eyes.
We need dialogue. But the desire for world dominion and conquest of resources has been allowed to push diplomacy and the desire for peace aside. Immature "leaders" listen to money instead of to the citizens of the world. That has to end, or civilization will end.
We are our brother's keeper. We are our sister's keeper. And we long for peace. We cannot afford to have Bush-lite. The Us vs. Them worldview of Barack's primary opponent is passe; it is old-school. Its time is done.
Barack Obama will bring people throughout the world together. Barack Obama is the candidate who will do the most for peace. Please assist Barack Obama's campaign for the Presidency in any way that you can. www.BarackObama.com

As the campaign for Presidency moves on, and as I continue to read articles from diferent sources, it appears that the only issue other candidates and there supporters go after is there claim of Barack's lack of experience in Washington. I have to say that what they are truely afraid of is change in Washington, the end to a game that has been going on inning after inning with the only loosers being the American people.
Barack will bring an end to this, bring the American People's interest to the forefront and return the White House to the People. A new breath of fresh air and an end to a corrupt and troubled adminstration.
This so call claim, could be almost interpreted as Barack not being part of the Washington clic or the good old boys network, were Barack will be looking out for the interest of the American people and not particular individuals or lobbyist.
Hillary Clinton during a debate at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire, she said something that has stayed with me and that was something to the effect, as President we don't tell the American people everything. This is totally contrary to Barack's position of openess and communications with the American people. I do understand National security and confidential matters, but there are tons of issues that our President should be upfront with the people.
Barack is one of us, a person who started at the bottom as a community activist. His passion and leadersip, will bring a new America. Do you Believe?

Huge event coming to Keene New Hampshire on October 20, 2007. Keene was the holder of the most Pumpkin lit at over 30,000 at one time for over 8 years straight. With over 75,000 people coming to the event from all over the US, what a great opportunity to show our support for Barack. Carve several pumpkin with a message of HOPE , wear your Barack buttons, t-shirts and hats and spend a day or two in beautiful Keene NH. Stop by an visit the Barack Obama Campaign Office in Keene. As we get closer to the event, look for events in the area.

Recently I had 2 conversations, one with a Republican and the other with a Democratic Hillary supporter. The republican said to me,
"New Hampshire is not ready for Barack, New Hampshire won't recognize Martin Luther King Day, instead they opted for a Civil Rights Day, what makes you think that they will vote for Barack".
I was able to hold back my anger and said, as long as people still think the way you do, our Country will never be united. I followed by saying, that support for Barack is growing and that his acceptance in New Hampshire has been positive. We ended our conversation by basically saying that even if New Hampshire did not recognized Martin Luther King's Day, our country was moving in a positive direction knowing that George Bush would not be in office soon.
Later on, I spoke to a Democratic (Hillary Supporter) and was told,
"Barack will never get elected, Americans are not ready to admit that we are equal, they would rather elect a white women rather than a black man".
Again, my blood started to boil and I said, why do people continue to look at a person's color as a requirement for office.
We have a candidate that will bring unity to our country, return the White House to the American people and has the will to bring new direction, hope and change to Washington, and all Republicans and some Democrats are concerned about is the color of Barack's skin. It is clear we still have ignorance in this country and racism is still active among us today.
How do we go about changing this? I hope to trigger some discussion about this, since it is clear that racism is still among us. With total disregard to a person credentials people would sacrifice a good candidate because of the color of his skin.

Back in December 2006, (Washington Post), Barack said "I'm very proud of how I've conducted myself during the entire time I've been in public service. My hope would be that people come away saying, 'He's not perfect, but he owns up to his mistakes and tries to correct them as quickly as possible'".
Wouldn't it be of great surprise if our current President was to look over this quote and say "It's time for me to take on ownership of some of the mistakes I've made". As a former Republican and supporter of George Bush, I would say that the only way George Bush can leave office with some dignity would be to accept that he made a mistake by going to war with Iraq and not pursuing our true threats.
Senator Obama
Obama has the power to change our United States Health Care into the best plan in the world.
Obama can win with the people of the United States of America solidly supporting him.
Why National Health Insurance? .....courtesy of Bob, the Health and Health Care Advocate @www.barackobama.com
1. "Everyone is covered automatically with no questions."
2. "There is one, single public agency being the payer instead of hundreds of private agencies."
"Two thirds of U. S. citizens want National Health Insurance established !"
"U.S. House Resolution 676 is The United States National Health Insurance Act. This resolution is the currently proposed legislation that can put Single-Payer National Health Insurance into law."
Let's get Obama elected with the people's choice of Health Care. Barack Obama wants what U.S. citizens want......Excellent Health Care for All!
When I reported for duty at Camp Obama New York Friday evening, I was a political Greenhorn. Upon ``graduating'' Sunday evening with some 200 other volunteer recruits who had travelled the length of the Eastern Seaboard, from New England to the Mason Dixon Line, I was armed with a complete understanding of the presidential primary process, both locally and nationally, and a teamwork strategy and plan for getting Barack Obama the Democratic Party nomination. And although we didn't get to meet the candidate himself, I feel like I know him after being trained in the organizing approach that took Barack from the streets of Southside Chicago to Capitol Hill.
Now that I've been led by example, it's my turn to lead by example.
And it's my turn to recruit others. Attendance at Camp Obama is a must for all Barack supporters who want to truly know and understand the man who I believe most deserves to be the next President of the United States of America.
So if you haven't yet had the privilege, I urge you to sign up for a Camp Obama nearest you.
I just finished watching Roland Martin's interview with Barack on TVOne. This was a great in-depth interview that allowed for fuller answers than the debates. Barack covered all kinds of topics--from health care, fighting poverty, to faith and politics and the environment. There's going to be an encore presentation tomorrow, July 3, at 9PM. Also, you can check out additional interview questions and excerpts at Link
I just email the campaign this suggestion and I though I should post it on my blog and get everyone opinion as well on the strategy to moving the campaign forwards.
What has attracted millions to support Obama's message of "Hope and Change" is his inspiring "Genuinity and Inspiration Factor". We all Believed and were strike by Senator Obama Good Judgment, Dedication and Brightness. That's what others still haven't register yet or consciously are suppressing... Most of America has heard of Hope and Change in governances but I think we should launch a new theme and emphasize one one question.
-Why don't you Believe?
To win over other Democrats and Independents even Republicans we need to emphasize just that.
Ask these two simple questions over, and over, and over again. You'll be surprised how someone will go back to their suppressed emotions when it comes to the virtue of being Honest.
-Which candidate is "Genuine" and "Inspiring" in their message?
-Why don't you believe?
Ask a child who is lying nicely over and over to be honest, he will end listing to his inner righteousness and tell the truth.
Same goes with Obama's non supporters and undecided. Subconsciously they know Obama is "Genuine, honest and inspiring". We just need to get them to admit it to themselves and the world comes election time.
Ask a weak atheist if he believes in God over and over he will finally admit that there is a force that controls the universe, well that's God. Idiot...
Thank you.

I find myself alarmed about the low rates of voter registration and political interest amongst many Asian-Americans (at least the ones that I know). Political decisions affect every American of every racial group, therefore it makes no sense to me that so few Asian-Americans seem to take interest in politics and voting. I have decided that it's time to change this!
Today, I wrote 64 letters to ministers of Asian churches. In these letters I explained my concerns and asked for permission to attend a service or church event and help interested congregants in learning more about politics and government and registering for the vote. When and if I am asked who I support, I will be happy to tell anyone and everyone that I support Senator Obama and explain my reasons!
If any of you share my sentiments, I encourage you to reach out to the people and show them why you hope for Obama for you, them, and all Americans.
