I laid in bed this morning with tears flowing from my eyes. " Could it be possible" The dreams of my ancestors, great grandparents, grandparents and parents. He is now the first African American President of teh United States of America!!
There is really no way to state the impact of this happening some 150 years after the outlaw of slavery. What dawned on me, was last night I celebrated with people who didnt even look like me. They were just as excited as I was, had worked just as hard as I did, felt proud as I did to be an American and be a supporter of Barack Obama. They too knew who how historic and important this election and campaign would be! Obama's campaign has issued in an great errror to our history, one that I will never forget in my Life time.
I am proud to be an American and proud to have worked through this with each of you!!
Friends, Today is Election Day. The opportunity to set our country on a new path has never felt more real than it does right now. The polls are open in most places, and people are already making their voices heard for change. There's just one thing left to do -- vote and make sure everyone you know votes, too. You can find or verify your ballot drop location by looking up your most recent registration address at VoteForChange.com. Go vote today, and make sure you take your friends and family with you. This is the day when we have to commit to doing everything we can. We can't afford not to -- for our families, our communities, and our future.

Ballots begin arriving in Oregon this Friday, October 17th. The best way to help Barack in this historic election is by mailing in your ballot as soon as you receive it -- and by encouraging others to do the same. It only takes a few minutes. And when you vote within 24 hours of receiving your ballot, you allow volunteers and organizers to better focus their resources and spend more time helping thousands of other Oregonians get their votes in for Barack and Democrats up and down the ballot.>br? Visit VoteForChange.com right now to find the nearest ballot drop location near you, or mail your ballot in to your county elections office. Vote early, remind everyone you know to do so as well, and help supporters and organizers do everything they can to get a big win for Barack Obama in Oregon. Thanks, Jesse Jesse Bontecou Field Director Oregon Campaign for Change P.S. -- Once you've voted, sign up for a Get Out The Vote shift in this final stretch to make sure all Oregonians get their ballots in and make their voices heard in this election: http://or.barackobama.com/ORgotv
The RNC can't believe that small donors like you and me have out raised them. Lets show them how we raise money. Help me Help Obama and prove to the RNC even ordinary people can change the country in extraordinary ways. Give $1, $3 or even $100.00, just Give. The more people who give to the campaign represents the more people who own the campaign.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/VoteForYou
Let the world know that a vote for Obama is a vote for you. Supporting Obama does not mean you're deluded, it means you are protecting your own interest. We must define what we want our country and world to be, and I feel that Barack Obama is a big part of that definition. The USA is a country of tolerance, intelligence, imagination, and immense possibilities. We are not a people who talk down to each other, belittling one another, because we are a country that respects all its citizens, no matter the age, sex or social background of the person. This is my dream, my Hope. It starts here and it ends never.
I titled this page to connect money raised to a theme I hope you will support. Donating here in this fundraiser not only allows you to support your candidate but attaches your money to a message. A message with money behind it.
Barack Obama and I are committed to changing the political process by building a campaign built on a broad base of support from ordinary Americans.
I've set my own personal fundraising goal for the campaign, which you can see in the thermometer to the right.
Will you make a donation to help me reach my goal?
As a young black American Woman, I am so out done by what has occured this past week in the McCain campaign. I cannot even understand least of all conceive of the underling racism that still exists in our country. The is History of our country, slavery, women liberation, anti- gay sentisim, has slipped back into the mainstream and makes us face the harsh reality of what the McCain/Palin campaign is trying to accomplish.
Will we ever get past the hateful history that still lurkes around in the midst of all of us? My friend in London who is a Black American told me today that she doesnt understand how we (black Americans) can still tolerate the deep rooted hate and bigotry that still exists. I was sadly hurt and disgusted by the McCain supporter who called Obama "a Arab" Are Arab people terrorist? Are they not human? Hell, are they not even Americans? Hate is what lead to the genocide of Millions of Jews, Hate is what lead to the genocide in Dafur? Hate is what lead to thousands being killed in Rawanda, Hate is what lead to the current war and hate has caused the division of blacks and whites right here in our own country.
For a man who states hes a maverick and has faught for a country of freedom, he sure is endorsing hate and fear. McCain and Palin is opportunisitic, erradic, frivolous and the smear campaigning is not a great tactic.. However folks, we have to wake up.. there are fellow Americans that believe this sort of stuff, that are not educated in the issues and these are the very ones that are getting out to vote...
Please use your voice and write to your editors of local and national news stations, papers and magazines. Take a stand, dont take this for grantide that our candidate is in the clear... We have to use this moment to really educate people, take a stand and help change the smear tactic of hate..
