Video of Harnessing the Obama Grassroots Movement

By Bowes3 - May 20th, 2009 at 7:37 am EDT

Also listed in: 7 groups

Sarah-Ann Shaw introduces the first panel. Sarah Compton, Marshall Ganz, Juan Leyton, Ethan Winn and Alan Khazei talked about harnessing the Obama Grassroots Movement.

Sarah Compton: What was most special was the inspiring candidate we had. Also, people were empowered and everyone felt that what they were doing was crucial to getting Barack elected. The other thing that is special is that we are still here and want to do everything we can to support the President in his office. Lessons learned: MA is a different animal -- we're blue. People thought we didn't need resources, but we were able to help in many places, in addition to the usual help in NH. We didn't wait for direction. We got organized and empowered people. We reached more voters across the country because we were so well organized. (Applause)

Video of How Grassroots Advocacy Can Impact Public Policy

By Bowes3 - May 20th, 2009 at 7:23 am EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

Last Weekend at the OFA-MA Grassroots Organizing Forum the second panel was about Grassroots Advocacy Can Impact Public Policy. The panel included Matthew O'Malley, Timothy Foley, Najma Nazy'at and Colin Moore

Question: Gay marriage was seen as an impossible dream, now it is happening. What role did grassroots play in this success?

Matthew O'Malley: Seven plaintiff couples sued the Commonwealth, seeking a marriage license. The court ruled in favor of the couples, to the surprise of some. It was done through the judicial process. The Constitutional Convention had a vote to put forth a Civil Unions bill to negate marriage equality. Through grassroots organizing, we got 151 representatives to kill the bill and ensure marriage equality in the state. It was a broad based movement of people all across the state -- including new people that weren't involved in politics. It was a civil rights issue, not just an LGBT issue. We are still knocking on doors, and still advocating for this issue in NH.

Obama Victory Speech - Nov. 4th, 2008

By PGaudreau - Nov 5th, 2008 at 12:33 pm EST

Also listed in: 9 groups

PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA: If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.Its the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.Its the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and hes fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nations promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didnt start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.I know you didnt do this just to win an election and I know you didnt do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage, or pay their doctors bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who wont agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government cant solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way its been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, its that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, We are not enemies, but friends...though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one thats on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. Shes a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldnt vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.And tonight, I think about all that shes seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we cant, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.At a time when womens voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that We Shall Overcome. Yes we can.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

My Letter to Senator Obama

By PGaudreau - Oct 31st, 2008 at 2:37 pm EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

Senator Obama,During the past eight years I have been ashamed with the actions of my country and I even lost my trust in our politicians. I almost started to believe our country would never come out of this embarrassment. Until you came along and started talking about hope, responsibility, and service. Things I have never heard before from a politician. I was inspired by your words and I saw that our country would come out of this cloud, we will see the sun again, and for the first time in eight years I had hope. The reckless policies of the past eight years were never so clear to me until you brought them out in to the open. I began to research historical data and I saw so clearly the failures of the last administration. I took what I learned and I showed others what fiscal responsibility really is and why it is so important. I have always heard people and politicians talk about serving their country and by this they meant serving in the military. Well I love my country but was not able to serve in the military, so I thought I could never serve my country. You have educated me and shown me that to serve my country does not have to include military service. I know now that I can serve my country by serving its people as you have done.Senator Obama you have inspired greatness in me and you have given me a strong desire to serve my country, a sense of understanding and responsibility, and hope that we will be great again. In return I have spent every night after work and all of my weekends working for you and fighting for your place in the Whitehouse. I have spent hours making calls and canvassing door to door. I have also written many letters to the editor, hosted parties in your name, sent many inspirational emails, and even formed a group of volunteers. I feel like I cannot do enough. In return for the inspiration you have given me I have inspired others. I may never be able to thank you enough for what you have done for me, but I will spend the rest of my days serving the American people in hopes that someday I will have the same impact on someone as you have had on me.Thank you forever,Paul Gaudreau

Obama is the right choice

We're 5 days away from the big day. The choice couldn't any easier . McCain is running for President to win .....so he can say he's the winner ......he's the President......that's all he really cares about..his own self gratification.. Obama is running for President to make the world a better place for everyone. Obama wants everyone to have decent affordable healthcare,to end the war,to make life better for everyone . McCain on the other hand doesn't care about everyone.McCain doesn't care about people who don't have good health care. McCain would offer you a tax credit..making good healthcare even harder to obatain for those that need it the most.McCain will continue the war untill he claim victory--->at any cost.....McCain will continue the Bush years -----> giving big tax breaks to big companies and people who don't really need it. If we are going to have a better future---> Obama needs to be our next President.

With Eight Days until Election day

By Marla - Oct 28th, 2008 at 8:09 pm EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

Our local newspaper's the front page is about the Presidential election. The reporters ask "the voices of Main Street" who they will vote for, or if they are undecided, they ask why. Technically, Plymouth is the borderland between the old Yankee Cape Cod and the more working class South Shore. This paper is on the South Shore side, still people down here tend to be pretty even handed. Obviously like the majority of Mass most are Obama supporters, but there are plenty McCain supporters. Anyway, here is what one man said and it really suprised me someone from here spoke this way:

"We're tracking a guy named Osama Bin Laden and I'm voting for a guy named Barack Obama? What are you, out of your mind? I don't trust him. I don't trust where he is from, I don't know who put him there."

I mean I know we have talk radio stoking this sentiment, but it was surprising. I can deal with diagreement like "I don't agree with his tax policy" or "I think he may not finish the job in Iraq" or some other issue related reason for why one does not prefer Obama. But I am so tired of this "be afraid of Obama" nonsense. Thank goodness this quote was also included:

"Things are changing, especially with my generation. Race isn't necessarily as much of an issue as it would be with, say, my parents' generation or my grandparents' generation. We've grown up so engulfed in the differences, so it doesn't necessarily jump out as much to us."

For anyone in MA regarding Question 1

By PGaudreau - Oct 22nd, 2008 at 11:07 pm EDT

Also listed in: 9 groups

Recently I saw a poll on the Sun Chronicle website about Question 1. It seemed to be very close and actually was in favor of Question 1. I am very concerned about the support of Question 1, and I believe voting this through will be reckless and irresponsible.
Question 1, if passed, will eliminate our state income tax. This sounds like a wonderful idea, and even I would like to have a few extra dollars in my paycheck each week, but at what cost? The effects on our state will be large and will substantially affect all of our local communities. Public services, police, fire, and education will have large budget cuts. Causing policeman, fireman, and teachers to lose their jobs. Emergency calls will have longer wait times and classroom sizes will grow. Also the quality of our roads will deteriorate and with no money in the budget town and city employees could lose their jobs.
If you do not believe these effects of Question 1 please take a moment and think about this; Question 1 will take 40% out of the state budget. If your employer took 40% out of your pay how would you manage? Yes at first you would find some fat to trim from your budget but what about the rest. Would you sell your car and get a bicycle? Turn of your heat and electricity? Question 1 will have drastic effects and we might not know the full extent, but the fact is 40% of the state's budget will disappear and that will not be easy to swallow.
It will not be a smart decision to lower our state's income by 40% and put peoples jobs at risk during this national economic crisis. Times are tuff right now in many ways and all though this referendum looks like it will help, it is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing.
On November 4th we need to stand up and be responsible citizens and say NO to Question 1.

Editorial Response

By PGaudreau - Oct 11th, 2008 at 8:28 am EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

In my local paper someone sent in an editorial condeming a negative cartoon about Palin in the editorial section and called the newspaper unfairly biased to Obama. They also praised McCain for his military service and denounced Obama for his lack of military service. Here is my editorial response:

To the Editor:

I response to Hawksley of Foxboro's editorial on Oct. 9th.

First let me say in defense of The Sun Chronicle, who may or may not be in the Obama camp. The job of a newspaper is to report the news as it comes, and to let the local people express their views. I believe the cartoon your speaking of was in the editorial section which directly represents the opinions of the people. They did publish you letter. Keeping that in mind you would have to agree that the lack of pro-McCain ramblings in the Sun Chronicle would be due to the peoples lack of support for the Republican Ticket.

Secondly as far as the attacks against Palin, which are pale in comparison to the fraudulent attacks on Obama. Her speeches lack substance and resemble pep rallies not presidential addresses, and that is causing the attacks. Yes she has been a good Governor of Alaska, but she has not been extraordinary. Not to discredit Palin's experience but Alaska has about the same population as the City of Boston. Would you be just as supportive for Mayor Menino as VP?

Now I do respect McCain for his honorable service to our country, but it is not an entitlement to the presidency. My disgust lies with the lack of respect for Obama's humble beginnings, and the view of him as an elitist. He was son to a poor single mother on food stamps, and somehow graduated from Harvard. Instead of choosing a high paying job on Wall Street he choose to serve his community. You said Obama has not fought for his country, I disagree. He has most certainly fought for his country by fighting for its people and their livelihood. America would be nothing without its work force. Who do you think supports the troops overseas? Is this not honorable? Obama's personal story is proof that the American Dream is still alive and it displays the possibilities available to all American citizens.

You are right Palin does deserve respect and so does Obama. A man who rose from nothing and is spending his life giving back.

Just looking at the debate, I really can't say who I feel performed better. It's all pretty standard from both sides, no earth shattering new policies revealed and no major bloopers besides both sides stretching the facts a little, but that's to be expected in all political debates. What do you guys think?

Patriotism?

By PGaudreau - Oct 9th, 2008 at 12:01 pm EDT

Also listed in: 8 groups

What is Patriotism? What does it mean to be Patriotic? I love this country and I would like to consider myself a Patriot, but I have one problem, I'm a Democrat. I am very confused by this notion that only Republicans can be Patriots. Is it true that Republicans are the only ones to put "Country First". If so what are Democrats putting first?

Maybe Democrats are putting "Economy First" by sponsoring government regulation on big corporations to keep them from taking advantage of Americans. Deregulation has lead to the biggest housing crises our country has seen since the great depression.

Actually Democrats are probably putting "Security First" because they disagreed with the Iraq War and wanted to spend all of our efforts going after Al-Qaida and Osama Bin Laden. Spending everything in Iraq, and neglecting the War in Afghanistan, allowed Al-Qaida to grow in strength.

No I know what it is, Democrats are putting "People First" by sponsoring government aid to actual struggling Americans rather than big corporations. Democrats will raise taxes on those who can afford it and lower taxes on those who need it. if you make $40,000 a year could you use an extra $1000? An if you make $3,000,000 a year could you afford to pay $700,000 in taxes to help your fellow Americans?

Greek philosopher Socrates said "patriotism does not require one to agree with everything that his country does and would actually promote analytical questioning in a quest to make the country the best it possibly can be."

Patriotism is supporting your fellow Americans who are having trouble. Patriotism is defending your fellow Americans from invading enemies. Patriotism is protecting your fellow Americans from greedy corporations. I believe Patriotism is a love for your country and a passion for it to be the best it can be.

On November 4th, 2008 I am going to prove my Patriotism and I will be putting my "Country First" by voting for a Democrat named Barack Obama.

Voter Outreach Plymouth MA

By Marla - Oct 8th, 2008 at 1:34 pm EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

My aunt and I are trying to organize voters in our neighborhood in Plymouth MA. We live in a very underserved area. We have A LOT of either unregistered or newly registered voters in my neighborhood. We are helping them fill out registration forms before the state deadline.

Still there are many potential voters who have no transportation to get to the polls. I've been an active voter since I turned 18 and I have always answered the call to help others exercise their right to vote. Every election I offer to drive other voters to the polls, but I am only one person and one car (filled with many carseats =))! Anyone in the Plymouth area who votes at Cold Spring could be a great help with this!

Also if anyone has contact info on the Obama Headquarters located downtown Plymouth please post their contact info as a reply to this message. I'm hoping they could help with getting our registered voters to the polls.

I was wondering if anyone has the contact information for the Obama Campaign headquarters in Plymouth MA. It is located on Park Ave facing the waterfront (near Al's restaurant, across from Citizen's bank). Have you seen it. I saw it driving doing errands. Well I couldn't stop in this week, but I'd love to reach someone there.

If you work there or know anything about the site, would you post the contact information (phone, email) and any info (if they do voter registration). There are a lot of people in my neighborhood who are still not registered.

Bailout Disappointment - Fear of Breaking Rank?

By Marianne Bergenholtz Delegate - Oct 7th, 2008 at 2:32 am EDT

Also listed in: 5 groups

I am disappointed that BO and the other leaders I wrote to supported the bailout. Looks like GWB found weapons of mass destruction again- in our own economy - and Congress, yet again, was suckered into giving more power to the Executive branch instead of taking responsibility to act on the grave problem themselves. I guess they can always hold hearings in the future, for whatever good that does.

The bailout doesn't make any sense - as the stock market indicated today - and the world seems to agree.

When I ran two small companies, I knew I would be a major sign of financial trouble if I had to borrow money to make payroll. How many times can they borrow to make payroll? Someone isn't minding the books. A business owner can be imprisoned for failing to make payroll. Borrowing for raw goods to manufacture product to fill orders would be okay, but when it gets to not being able to afford payroll, there's a serious management problem and that company should fail, leaving others to seize the opportunities to expand.

I think BO needs to answer this question: You realized that "weapons of mass destruction"was based on faulty info, why didn't you think that the "funding of mass destruction" was also based on faulty assumptions? And, why would ANYONE trust George W. Bush or his Executive Branch to handle another crisis after the destructive tactics they've used against the justice system, national security, the outing of an intelligence officer, the firings of federal judges, secret meetings with the oil industry to create energy policy, policies that protected ENRON,...?

I still support BO, but my confidence in that vote is taking a beating. I hope BO remembers the ground up organizing he has so successfully promoted - and truly does work to make the CHANGE we are all craving.

See full coverage on Obama’s bipartisan message at http://kronomy.com/event/XCeB4NcMrq/, including pictures, videos and text. “A new survey conducted by Quinnipiac University over the weekend shows Obama leading McCain in Florida 51 percent to 43 percent, in Ohio 50 percent to 42 percent and in Pennsylvania 54 percent to 39 percent. Since 1960, no president has been elected without winning two of those three states.” Things are looking good for Obama!

Again, good message, nice gesture at this turbulent time from both sides. Just wish it didn’t take a financial meltdown to bring this spirit of cooperation around. Drop me a line at my blog, thanks.

So Obama responded to the rejection of the bailout plan. I like that he is encouraging people to stay hopeful, and I like that he is encouraging the Congress to actually do their job. But, I am curious about how active a role he is taking in coming up with the next bill. Beyond calling for more regulations, I would like to see him offer some more concrete details of what he thinks THE bill should include.
