Remember? Let Us Not Be Weary In What We Need To Do For Us

By OFA-Middle Georgia Chapter - Jun 17th, 2009 at 5:11 pm EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

"This election is about the past vs. the future. It's about whether we settle for the same divisions and distractions and drama that passes for politics today or whether we reach for a politics of common sense and innovation, a politics of shared sacrifice and shared prosperity.

There are those who will continue to tell us that we can't do this, that we can't have what we're looking for, that we can't have what we want, that we're peddling false hopes. But here is what I know. I know that when people say we can't overcome all the big money and influence in Washington, I think of that elderly woman who sent me a contribution the other day, an envelope that had a money order for $3.01 along with a verse of scripture tucked inside the envelope. So don't tell us change isn't possible. That woman knows change is possible.

When I hear the cynical talk that blacks and whites and Latinos can't join together and work together, I'm reminded of the Latino brothers and sisters I organized with and stood with and fought with side by side for jobs and justice on the streets of Chicago. So don't tell us change can't happen.

When I hear that we'll never overcome the racial divide in our politics, I think about that Republican woman who used to work for Strom Thurmond, who is now devoted to educating inner city-children and who went out into the streets of South Carolina and knocked on doors for this campaign. Don't tell me we can't change.

Yes, we can. Yes, we can change. Yes, we can.

Yes, we can heal this nation. Yes, we can seize our future. And as we leave this great state with a new wind at our backs and we take this journey across this great country, a country we love, with the message we carry from the plains of Iowa to the hills of New Hampshire, from the Nevada desert to the South Carolina coast, the same message we had when we were up and when we were down, that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we will hope.

And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and fear and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of the American people in three simple words -- yes, we can." (Excerpt from President Barack Obama's remarks after he won the Democratic presidential primary in South Carolina. January 27, 2008)

The True Faces Emerge

By Ernest for Obama - Oct 11th, 2008 at 5:21 pm EDT

Also listed in: Newton County GA for Obama | War Veterans for Obama 08

During the past week, the McCain-Palin campaign has intentionally whipped their fringe supporters into a frenzy. At rallies, there have been calls to kill Obama, to bomb Obama (here in Georgia), and outbursts labeling Obama as a terrorist and killer...all within earshot of McCain and Palin. The ugliness reached its climax on Friday as a couple of ill-informed supporters of McCain called Obama an Arab and stated that they were afraid of bringing a child into an Obama presidency. McCain, looking quite embarrassed, actually defended Obama - calling him a decent family man. He was then booed by his own supporters.

With the level of hate and ignorance shown and brought to the fore-front this week, do you fear for Obama when he's elected? The McCain-Palin campaign has created an atmosphere that breeds the type of hatred that is comparable to level of hate that the young Islamic terrorists have for the US.

50 Days Team GA-To Victory or.......Defeat Is Not An Option

F.O.C.U.S, we will Find, Our, Candidate, Under, Scrutiny during the last 50 days of this campaign. It's not rocket science and it's not relevant. As voters we must keep F.O.C.U.S.E.D, Find, Other, Challenges, United, States, Educate, & Deliver on the promises. I took a moment to think and...if either Obama or McCain past away , and as tragic as that would be either way, who would I desire to be second in command? Sen. Biden or Gov. Palin? To me the choice is clear but maybe undecided voters in either party haven't considered this lately. Lots of pundit talk out there...think about it.

Excellence

By Chris Roesel - Aug 30th, 2008 at 6:50 pm EDT

Also listed in: 4 groups

To lead the world, our education has to show excellence throughout. We have to be the best in parenting, early child education, primary, secondary, and university learning. To do that, we need to change the system: bring in parents early to vision and plan for the best for their children, include churches, libraries, businesses, the justice department, and social services in identifying where we are going and planning how we will get there. That will be change we can believe in!

What's the National Taxpayers' Union?

By Chris Roesel - Aug 22nd, 2008 at 2:49 pm EDT

Also listed in: 4 groups

Being unemployed, the rise of gasoline prices especially hits me. So, when the National Taxpayers' Union (NTU) called me today urging I contact my representative, I was interested. What I understood from the call is that the NTU, whoever that is, wants more drilling in the USA. From my understanding of economics, that will displace my paying of high prices to foreigners and make it so I pay more of my high prices to USA suppliers. Prices may also go down some if worldwide demand decreases. That’s good re our foreign debt, 50% of which is due to buying petroleum from other countries. But I've also heard about global warming. A Pentagon study found global warming would produce more of a crisis by 2025 than terrorism. What’s the plan about that? Why not urge Congress to re-set CAFÉ 2020 (Corporate Average Fuel Efficiencey) to 50 MPG rather than 35, which was the target they set in August? It's presently 44 MPG in France but only 27 in the USA. Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone, so to speak? I’d really appreciate guidance on this one. I really hate to urge things that aggravate some problems while easing others, don’t you?

Dumbing down the Campaign

It looks to me like Barack's speeches are not as bright or stimulating and he stands for less now. I guess that's a move to the center. I find it irritating: Americans will like someone who stands for little? I hope not.

Platform Plan

By Chris Roesel - Jul 21st, 2008 at 5:42 pm EDT

Also listed in: Action Wire | Newton County GA for Obama

The platform we developed from Newton County, GA, is the following:

In 2016, after two terms of the Obama Presidency, many things have been achieved:

Voters are Registered:

Youth in high schools between 17.5 and 18 years old are registered to vote each year;

Representatives visit senior centers to register voters;

Volunteers go door to door in subdivisions to registe4r those who have moved in;

People from Correction Departments are aware of their right to vote once they no longer have case workers.

Our energy is green:

The USA in energy self-sufficient, producing green energy for electricity and automobiles from solar, wind, geothermal and other sustainable sources; global warming has been reversed and pollution is minimal; with future innovations, environmental plans prevent new sources of pollution.

Everyone has health care:

Everyone has access to acute and chronic care; the health system works with exercise, nutrition, mental health, birth and parenting education to optimize our health; Mental health facilities are open and place those in need in constant care, decreasing the homeless population; our veterans receive superior care and social support; communities are planned for healthy living.

Education and education standards are age and aptitude appropriate;

We educate the children to achieve their best work, not the minimum standards of No Child left Behind; excellence is achieved in the arts, math, sciences and technology; the child is assessed according to his/her potential and education is tailored to him/her; each student serves in a national service corps after completion of high school, whether military, national, or international service to improve our environment and services; our students learn international languages and cultures including Spanish, French, and Chinese.

The USA has excellent international relations and assists poor nations’ development:

Other nations will value, respect, and appreciate our collaboration with them and their citizenry in achieving their hopes and visions for themselves; we are a collaborator, appreciating their cultures and histories; we consider war as the last and worst option for relations, only turning to it when all alternatives have been exhausted and the international community sanctions a nation for atrocities again its own or other populations.

Democracy occurs locally, regionally and nationally:

All communities gather, develop local agenda, plans, and act for ourselves and our children, redressing everything we can before turning to the next level for over-arching plans.

Social security and Medicare are revitalized and functioning.

Balanced Budget and Full Employment Achieved!: Our population is employed and excelling, contributing our talents and dedication and earning livable incomes and paying taxes for a budget surplus.

Weighing in on Reverend Wright

By Pat Smith - May 4th, 2008 at 2:41 pm EDT

Also listed in: 10 groups

By Patricia Wilson-Smith

For those of you who may have wondered why I've been largely silent on the Rev. Wright issue, here's the truth - the whole thing has been way too disheartening for me to deal with head on. Until now.

Because now I feel I have to. Any of us who has a voice, even a small one, who does not loudly weigh in on this debacle will be as culpable as the media and the Clintons in Senator Obama's defeat, if such an unlikely thing were to occur.

I am an educated black woman, who was raised in the black church. I have black family members and friends who have strongly held views on everything from slavery to whether or not as consumers we can truly influence the price of gasoline. And as I have walked the streets in support of Senator Obama, I have heard from more than my share of blacks their frustration and disgust over what they perceive as an endless history of injustices brought down on the heads of people of color by this country. Some I have spoken to have achieved some semblence of the American Dream; some still struggle to gain ground on even a meager existence in this country. They're Americans - they pay taxes, and they work hard, but they're fed up, and sometimes just as controversially vocal about it as Rev. Wright has been.

Some that I've spoken to along the way have said from the very beginning that "America is not ready to elect a black man President". I can remember hearing those words, and thinking those people were so short-sighted. Especially in the glow of the Senator's huge win in Iowa, I vehemently defended this country and the people in it, saying that Americans were changing, and that Senator Obama was the kind of man who could bridge divides that had long existed, that he was uniquely qualified to do so. And let's face it, he has done that - and if all things had been equal, I believe Senator Obama would already be the nominee. But instead, me and people like me are left scratching our heads, wondering how it is that at this late date in the primary season, when Senator Obama has won more pledged delegates, more of the popular vote, and more states, we could possibly be pondering the possibility of a Clinton upset, all because of a preacher who not unlike thousands of preachers around the country both black and white, takes political and social license with his sermons on Sunday.

It's appalling. Despite my desire to believe differently, I can no longer deny that in giving this story life, and continuing to breath life into it on a daily basis, the media has put Senator Obama in a position to have to defend the one thing that he cannot and should not have to - his blackness. All because of the irrational fears that some have that he might hold some deep-seated resentment for this country that might someday pepper his policies should he become President.

Now, I'm afraid that any black man who dares run for high public office will always be vetted on a much deeper level; that the fear-mongers will always contend that SURELY an educated, politically successful black man must harbor some festering anger that will somehow show itself eventually! Never mind that our current President dumped us head-long into a war that there is no clear way out of (a war that Senator Obama was wise and sound of judgement enough to oppose from the start by the way)! Nevermind that the Republican candidate has a temper that he doesn't even try to hide, and that Billary has proven themselves to be congenital liars and political opportunists so selfish that they don't care if they destroys the Democratic party to win the nomination - Senator Obama is black.

Senator Clinton has definitely done her part to keep the Rev. Wright story alive, but at this point, I have to place the blame for all this firmly where it belongs - on the media. I think what gets me most about all of the non-stop media coverage of Rev. Wright is how show after show after show keeps asking the same questions about which sermons Senator Obama heard and didn't hear. How they keep playing the same clips of Rev. Wright over and over again, giving a ridiculous amount of attention to the perspective of one man (who by the way is not running for office), without lifting a finger to get to the real heart of the matter. The fact is, the media has done more to perpetuate the unfounded fears Americans have about Senator Obama than anyone else, and that includes the Clintons. And in doing so, they have put our dirty racial laundry out in the open for the entire world to see. Left unchecked, the media will be guilty of robbing this nation of the opportunity to re-invent itself in the eyes of the rest of the world; it will cause events that will disillusion the millions of young voters who have been awakened, and who now recognize that their future depends on our ability to break the political log-jam we've been in for decades. If we don't do something soon, the media will rob us of our first chance in a long time to have a truly great leader.

It is clear by now that it is easier for the media, and others in this country to believe that Senator Obama, a man who has proven himself time again to be a uniter, is somehow really some angry black man, bent on making the nation pay for its crimes against humanity. Rather than see the Harvard-educated family man, legislator, and community organizer, they would rather use those with whom he's associated to diminish him into some caricature of a man that is white America's greatest fear. To believe the truth, to believe that we are actually witnessing the candidacy of a man who has what it takes to transform the way we think about ourselves as a nation, and who has the courage to force us to look at ourselves in an honest, truthful way is just too much for some. And so now, I'm thinking that those early nay-sayers might have been more right than I wanted to believe, and that makes me so sad.

It boggles the mind - are we really supposed to believe that all the work that Senator Obama has done over the years, working in poor neighborhoods, when he could have gone straight to any high-dollar law firm in the country, toiling in the Illinois State Senate, working tirelessly to bridge divides between the left and the right when he could have just as easily become a partisan yes-man - was all so that he could eventually become President of the United States of America and foist his deeply hidden divisive and racist political views on the country?!? Is THAT what we're all supposed to believe?

It's amazing that it's come to this, especially at the hands of the Clintons, because when it comes to character, Hillary Clinton is the polar opposite of Senator Obama. During the ABC debate in Pennsylvania hosted by George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson (and I use the term "debate" loosely here), we learned once and for all what kind of man Senator Barack Obama is. The two moderators, armed with a myriad of pointless questions to be directed at Senator Obama regarding controversies long dispelled, lobbed only one tiny stink bomb at Senator Clinton regarding here blatant Bosnia-sniper-fire lie, then gave Senator Obama an opportunity to slam her for it. And he could have. Some say he should have. But instead, he tossed their bait back into their faces, opting instead to plea for a return to a real debate about the issues. I was stunned. I was awe-struck over the magnanimousness of his response, and I was reminded anew of why he must become our next President.

But unfortunately, we continue to be so distracted by the spectacle of a Rev. Wright, and by the zig-zagging polls, and the hundreds of pundits and endless cable news interviews, that we've completely lost sight of where we are as a nation and what we're trying to become.
Meanwhile, people are suffering through a broken economy, a new surge in violence in Iraq has produced the bloodiest month for U.S. soldiers in almost a year, and our reputation around the world and our ability to compete continues to erode. But there's something else that hasn't changed - when asked again and again whether or not this nation is headed in the right direction, Americans have responded with a resounding "no". The problem is, due to the political skill of the Clintons, and the voracious appetite the media has for salacious stories, many Americans have been tricked into believing that it's perhaps safer to go with the lying, polarizing, do-anything-to-win-because-I-deserve-it, candidate than to have faith in the purity and hope of Senator Obama's vision. And that is just sad.

But - even though there is an unmistakably bitter, stinging tone to this piece, I still have hope. Because I know that the media, though very influential, cannot by itself turn the will of the American people. I know that the Clinton machine is running scared, having been knocked off it's axis by a movement, one fueled by the longing this nation has for unity and truth in its politics, and the desire to be proud of its leader again. And I know what YOU should know - that the Republican party would rather face a dozen Hillary Clintons than one Barack Obama, inspirational leader, record-breaking fundraiser, young, brilliant, energetic political force that he is. And so to allow ourselves to let the media, the Clintons, or anyone else move us off message, or deny us what we know is best for this country, would be a much bigger travesty than anything Rev. Wright could ever serve up in his pulpit.

North Carolina, Indiana - make it right. Don't let the media tell you how to think, or how to cast your vote. It's time to end this, and it's time to end this now, for the sake of the party and of the country. Senator Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States, and we will begin to bridge the divides that have held us back as a nation for so long, but only if we are collectively brave enough to stop the madness that has engulfed us over the past several weeks. Knowing the true nature of Rev. Wright and Senator Obama's relationship will not help me reclaim the job I lost through down-sizing just days ago. And it won't help my friend, who's company closed its doors without notice last week in order to file bankrupcty. It won't help anything, or anyone - only a real leader with the bravery to tell the truth, do things differently, and stand up to the political bullies that we've been saddled with for too long can do that. And I don't have to tell you who that leader is.

Colin Powell praises Barack Obama
By Alex Spillius
Last Updated: 12:18am BST 11/04/2008

Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state, paid tribute to Barack Obama yesterday, praising the young senator's handling of his presidential campaign while playing down his inexperience.

Gen Powell said: "He doesn't have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I've seen other individuals who have come along that didn't have that breadth of experience."

Gen Powell, a Republican, is yet to endorse a candidate. He described Mr Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain all as "friends", but his remarks will fuel speculation that he will back Mr Obama in his bid to become the first black US president.

Accessibility at the 8th Congressional District Caucus

By Stephanie -Political Organizer-Middle Georgia - Apr 2nd, 2008 at 12:50 am EDT

Also listed in: 5 groups

On April 19th, at 10 am at the Mercer Law School, the 8th Congressional District will hold it's delegate elections. I have some very serious concerns about the location not being accessible to handicap supporters of either canidate and there being very limited parking space available and and once that lot is full, the secondary lot requires that a person be able to navigate a flight of steps stairs in order to gain access to the caucus facility. This location in my opinion would make it very easy for supporters of either campaign to become disenfrachised as it would be extremely difficult for a wheel chair bound person to enter with dignity and not have to be lifted from their chair to get to the lower level where the doors are located.. If anyone is in the 8th congressional district and shares my opinion please write to our Congressional Chair Daryl Morton at attymort@aol.com and ask that the caucus be held at a location that is accessible for all Democrats
