Dear Obama families

Tonight we have wittnessed the mother of character attacks, republican ever pulled , with their new comer vp peak Sarha Paline. She was less on the polices but abondant on the character attack! I guss when you do not have any plat form to run on, the easy way out is to attack with outright lies. How can a person born and rasied in the most civilized nation of the world could think this way? dream to win by trash talk and sarcasm. It buffled me. I can clearly see how desprate John Macane and his "Conservative" in this case hypocrat, VP, win the white house with nothing but their shameless attack on Barack Obama and his supporters. However all these should not discourage us from our quest to change America, rather motivate us to work twice harder. Lets fight back her smear attack with nothing but the truth.

Yes, we can, and Yes we will

Barack's accomplishement as Illinois Senator

By Meaza - Dec 23rd, 2007 at 2:47 pm EST

Also listed in: 9 groups

Hello everyone, as you all know we are in a critical moment of this campagne or as Barack said it nicely a silly season of this campagne, most have tried to smear the Senotr Obama's clean record with their poletics as usual tactic, however the People of Iowa and Americans are more focused on what is important issues like ending the war in Iraq, Health care for all, world class education for all and lifting the economy many many more... as a result, Barack is leading in all three primary states and also he is the most electable candidate against Republican come November 4, 2008.

to support my argument, I attached a link that shows Barack's accomplishement as an Illinois Senator. I say, his record speaks to itself. Barack is The one and the only choice for America right now.

http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/07/29/us/politics/20070730_OBAMA_GRAPHIC.html

Happy holiday everyone, make sure to claim your part of this historic moment by caccusing for Barack! tell your freinds about this unique man who could brings us to the table for the common pourpse for the common goal and for the better America!!!!

Message from Cook County Posting

By Shauen - Nov 28th, 2007 at 2:17 pm EST

Also listed in: 10 groups

Dear Obama supporters, This will be the next to last major communication I will send out before the February 5th "Super Tuesday" primaries...I know that many of you belong to multiple groups on My.BO.com so you will receive this same e-mail several times...this message is so very important that I ask you to please not be angry or upset over this...I want this message to get out to all of the different supporters! Back in February, Sen. Barack Obama stood in front of a large crowd in Springfield, IL in freezing weather to announce his bid for President of the United States. Nine months later, we stand in a position to bring the Obama presidency one major step closer to reality! On January 3rd, 2008, Iowa voters will go out into the cold weather and attend their precinct caucuses. The latest polls show that Sen. Barack Obama ahead of Sen. Hillary Clinton by 4 percentage points and ahead of John Edwards by 8 percentage points. This is good, but we need to remember that these are the same polls we told everyone to not be concerned about when Sen. Clinton was ahead! Much work has been done to bring the Obama campaign to this point, but the fact is that many Iowa voters have not yet decided which candidate they will support on January 3rd and that much hard work needs to be done! I am personally asking each and every one of you, to please find a way to spend a Saturday in Iowa between today and December 15th! Think of this as the best present you can give Barack and Michelle Obama! I went on such a trip on October 20th and I have committed my time to another trip on December 8th! Many of these trips will be leaving from the states surrounding Iowa the next 3 Saturdays! You will have the opportunity to meet other Obama supporters and also be talking to Iowa voters about why you support Barack Obama for President and encouraging them to get out on January 3rd and stand in Barack's corner so we can bring the change we so desperately need in Washington, D.C. !!! I would be willing to go so far as to say that you can be the difference in these caucuses! Each supporter who helps Iowa makes a difference(even if it serves to bring 5 more Obama supporters out to the caucuses!) If you are willing to go, please call me at (618)397-5027 or write me at the e-mail address below! If you are in the St. Louis area as I am, I will get you in contact with a staffer at the St. Louis office who will give more details and sign you up...If you live outside of the greater St. Louis area, I will work to find info on who to contact in your area about meetup locations for the trips each Saturday. Thank you so much for all of your support so far and I wish I could talk personally to each and every one of you! Let's get out in the cold like Barack did and declare our support to any and all! Take care and LET'S BA-RACK THE IOWA CAUCUSES!!!

Hello everyone: As the Iowa caucus day getting closer, Barack is also showing his leadership skills in every aspect of the issues that are so vital for every American people. For example, health care insurance, how to end Iraq war, and how to provide better pay for teachers are the few among the list. Therefore, as a member of Ethiopian for Obama, we have moral responsibility to say, “Way to go senator Barack Obama”, by donating what ever amount we can. Today is our chance to make the actual difference in the 2008 presidential election process, today is our chance to take action on what we really want in our government and today is our chance to show the voice of ordinary people is stronger than the lobbyist or special interest group who wants to buy every chair in the government. Most of all today is the time to show Barack we got his Back no matter what. My fellow members of Ethiopian for Obama, I strongly encourage you to go ahead and spend your money for a good cause, for something as inspiring and promising as Barack’s candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America in order to save more latter on. Hope to here from you all soon! Sincerely, Meaza, MN

"lets's try!"

By Meaza - Aug 12th, 2007 at 12:53 am EDT

Also listed in: Ethiopians for Obama | Faith-Action-Change Minnesota | Stkate for Obama

YES! Finally somebody said something! I am glad Barack took the time to address this irrelevant but something that has been lingering around and keeps confusing both black and white community. Again, there are a lot more important issues that we should ask than this "is-he-black-enough" insanity.

If we believe every human being either here America or through out the world should have equal chance and opportunity in life, we need to march together with Barack in order to make it happen. (He is the hope of the past, present and the future!).

We need to ask ourselves, what should we do in order to bring this change? Do we sit and blame other for what went wrong? Do we wait and hope for others to fight for black cause or do we want to be part of that game and win!

I think Barack said it well, "Let's try!" let's not give up before we even try... that's not what our great-great parents thought us! That's not what they fought for! That was not Dr. Martin Luther king's dream!

I say, if... we all take this campaign as our own call, if … we all take this campaign as our own vision and goal, I believe we are in the verge of making a significant historical moment in American history!!!

Together we can make a difference, separate we fall!

Hooray for Women of the 21st Century! Eric Keroack Resigns! Hooray!

Washington">Link Post

Family Planning Official Resigns

Friday, March 30, 2007; A07

The doctor in charge of the Bush administration's family planning programs resigned yesterday after revealing that state Medicaid officials had taken action against his private medical practice in Massachusetts.

Eric Keroack, an obstetrician-gynecologist, became deputy assistant secretary for population affairs in November, advising Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on matters such as reproductive health and adolescent pregnancy. He oversaw $283 million in annual family planning grants designed to provide access to contraceptive supplies, especially for low-income people.

Family planning advocates panned the pick, noting that Keroack also had served as medical director of A Woman's Concern, a nonprofit Christian pregnancy counseling organization in Massachusetts that on its Web site opposed the distribution of contraceptives as "demeaning to women."

In an e-mail to colleagues yesterday, Keroack said he was resigning to focus on appealing the action by Massachusetts Medicaid officials. HHS officials declined to provide more details, and state Medicaid officials could not be reached.

"It's a good day for women's health," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "Keroack was unqualified to run the nation's family planning program. . . . The nation's family planning program should be run by a champion for women's health and safety."

Fox News Horrible Record Attacking Black People Ban the Presidential Debates Deal! Please sign letter!

By One Million MySpace Friends for Obama'08 in Minnesota! - Apr 9th, 2007 at 12:30 pm EDT

Also listed in: 57 groups

Dear Friends,

Fox News has a horrible record of attacking Black people, politicians,
and cultural institutions. But, at this very moment, the Congressional
Black Caucus has agreed to partner with Fox News to host presidential
debates prior to the 2008 elections.

For the CBC Institute to partner with an organization like Fox
News--given its hostility to Black political interests--is
shameful. I've signed on with ColorOfChange.org to help prevent them
from making this serious mistake. Will you join us in calling on the
Institute to drop its talks with Fox?

Link />
The CBC Institute, an organization led by Black members of Congress,
claims to share ColorOfChange.org's goal of politically empowering
Black America. But after being presented with the case against Fox
and hearing vocal opposition from over 12,000 ColorOfChange.org
members, the CBC Institute elected to complete a deal with Fox.
We'd expect that they would recognize the obvious: that validating
Fox News as legitimate hurts Black America, and undermines the
CBC's credibility.

Fox's record is horrible. Their on-air personalities and regular
guests consistently marginalize Black politicians, culture, and
institutions. In fact, Sen. Obama has stopped giving interviews to Fox
reporters because of repeated attacks on his character and intimations
that he has connections to terrorism. Even the Democratic Party in
Nevada backed out of doing a debate with Fox because of remarks about
Obama, but the CBC Institute hasn't moved.

And it's not just Obama. Here's a sampling of the kind of offensive
messages put out on Fox News:

* Commenting on Hannity & Colmes about the speakers at Coretta Scott
King's funeral, featured guest Mary Matalin said, "I think these civil
rights leaders are nothing more than racists" who are keeping "their
African-American brothers enslaved."

* Jesse Lee Peterson, a regular guest who is Black said: "Kwanzaa is a
racist, pagan, Marxist holiday" and then claimed that the "so-called
seven principles of Kwanzaa are socialist, Marxist, separatist
ideas... if a white man started a white holiday, seven-day white
holiday, black folks would be burning down America."

* Erik Rush, another Black guest, labeled Sen. Obama's church as cultish
and separatist for espousing values of black unity and black
empowerment (Fox regularly selects Black guests it knows will
undermine Black causes). Rush said he replaced the word "black" with
"white" in the church's mission statement and "Suddenly, I was looking
at this really scary doctrine. You know, it was something that you'd
see in more like a cult or an Aryan Brethren church I would go beyond
saying they're Afrocentric. They're African centric. They refer to
themselves as an African people and that somewhat disturbs me from the
viewpoint of well, do they consider themselves Americans? Do they
consider themselves Christians?"

* On The Big Story, John Gibson, warned viewers that nearly half of all
children under the age of five in the United States are minorities.
"You know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority of the
population is Hispanic." He then urged viewers to "do your duty. Make
more babies." He later repeated: "To put it bluntly, we need more
babies."

Given it's record, Fox News shouldn't enjoy the support of Black
political or cultural institutions connected to the Congressional
Black Caucus. We believe (or at least hope) the CBC Institute will
change course once it realizes that Black America, if not all of
America, is watching.

Please join us in making sure they hear us, loud and clear.

Thanks.

Obama Endorses Senator Durbin's Fair Elections Now Act!

By One Million MySpace Friends for Obama'08 in Minnesota! - Apr 8th, 2007 at 5:57 pm EDT

Also listed in: 58 groups

Presidential Hopefuls on Public Financing and FENA
The three front-runners for the Democratic nomination for
President are on the record in support of public financing of
elections. John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama have
all come out strongly in favor of a change to the system. You
can see Edwards' endorsement here
Link and Clinton's here
Link. See this clip
Link of Obama's recent endorsement
of Senator Richard Durbin's Fair Elections Now Act, and
exhortation for public pressure on the issue here. Republican
presidential hopeful, John McCain, meanwhile has been less
supportive of public financing while on the campaign trail this
year, but has supported it strongly in the past
Link at the state level as well as
for the Presidential race. He has joined Obama in promising to
run under public financing in the general election if his
opponent agrees to do the same. It's encouraging to see
discussion of and support for this policy from the presidential
field; nobody knows better than the candidates racing to raise
the millions they'll need to get to the White House that
campaign financing needs an overhaul.

- Energy for change: watch Senator Durbin's passionate speech
Link introducing the Fair Elections
Now Act on the floor of the Senate here.

Speaking of the Fair Elections Now Act, it's been popping up in
the news left and right drawing positive editorials and LOTS of
attention on the letters to editor page
Link thanks to efforts of Public
Campaign Action Fund members. You can write your own letter to
the editor using our tool here
Link />
New Mexico Close to Judicial Public Financing
Great news! New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson plans to turn
his endorsement of public financing for judicial races into
action when he signs the bill recently passed out of the state
legislature in special session that would expand the state's
public financing program to include state Supreme and Appellate
court races: Link. He plans to
line-item veto the "poison pill" provision in the bill that
would require voters to amend the state constitution to
eliminate retention elections (making those judges run in
partisan races) before the public financing system could take
effect. New Mexico already has public financing available to
candidates for the state's Public Regulation Commission, and the
city of Albuquerque approved public financing for municipal
elections by ballot initiative in 2005. Many thanks to New
Mexico Common Cause and Public Campaign Board member Richard
Romero, for their efforts in passing this bill!

Maryland Campaign in Final Days
Thousands of emails, hundreds of calls, and a pair of lobby days
later we are in the last week of the Maryland legislative
session: the moment of truth for a Clean Elections win in the
state this year Link. In fact, the
Senate is schedule to vote today on the bill that would bring
full public financing for legislative elections in Maryland --
the state Assembly is already in support. Though Senate
President Mike Miller (D) is notoriously opposed to Clean
Elections, the gossip in Annapolis is that grassroots organizing
(all those emails, all those calls) and the tireless efforts of
Progressive Maryland, Maryland NAACP, Maryland Common Cause,
Maryland Sierra Club, and The Reform Institute, have really
boosted support among previously ambivalent legislators for
passing Clean Elections. It's going to be quite a showdown -- as
soon as we get the results of the vote we'll let you know!

April Showers?
Did Uncle Sam give you a refund on your federal tax return this
year? How about turning a little bit of that around with an
investment in winning Clean Elections through a gift to Public
Campaign Action Fund Link Your tax
dollars fund the policies of the country, what better way to
ensure they are spent responsibly than by establishing Clean
Elections systems that make elected officials accountable to
you?

VOICEing Support
Public Campaign staffers checked their inboxes a few weeks ago
and found an email from National Field Director Jeannette
Galanis: "I think we need to go to Iowa." Why? Because a
dedicated group of legislators and activists from Iowa Citizens
for Community Improvement and the Clean Elections Coalition had
advanced full public financing legislation, the Voter-Owned Iowa
Clean Elections (VOICE) Act, farther than they ever had in the
state: far enough to make a win this year a real possibility.

A pair of bills, HSB 105 championed by Representative Pam Jochum
(D-Dubuque) and SSB 1173 headed up by Senator Mike Connolly
(D-Dubuque) have passed out of their respective State Government
committees and are moving on to Appropriations, where they look
to face formidable opposition. We are gearing up for a full
court press grassroots field effort; getting calls in to
legislators in support of VOICE, getting the word out through
door-to-door canvassing and phone banking, and ramping up
lobbying efforts in Des Moines to win Clean Elections for Iowa!
