"I know that I haven't spent much time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change."

Barack said those words when he announced he was running for President. That speech is shown in part in a new ad, on the air in Iowa today.

Barack doesn't accept money from PACs or federal lobbyists, so he's in a position to bring real change to Washington. Read his ideas on how to clean up DC here.

And watch the whole ad here.

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer "Present" or "Not guilty."

OBAMA OKC (Oklahoma City) is celebrating Barack's birthday by renting a 15 passenger van and transporting 15 of his supporters to Des Moines, Iowa to canvas on August 4th. CAN'T WAIT to get there, and we CAN'T WAIT for his Presidency. OBAMA OKC pledges to work hard for that outcome.

Susan, I'll be travelling to Mason City, Iowa to canvass for Barack on 8/4 too! MN is ready to come and support as much as we can.

Where are you in MN? I was born and raised in White Bear Lake. I try to leave this hell that is AZ every summer and go back to the land of 10,000 lakes. I have tons of family still there and I swear the nicest people in these United States live in Minnesota! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!

I know why I have been steadfast with Obama from the start. Everyday I am reminded why this campaign is like no other. While I haven't always been interested in politics, this time, in Iowa, I'll be bringing everyone I know to the polls to bring about the most dramatic change this country has ever seen!

GO OBAMA '08

Jeff,

Yesterday's speech was dead-on...the speech, ideas, and ideals, we've all been waiting for since 9/11...We need your action in Iowa. Tell your friends, tell your family. Organize, inform, share, and educate. Get the message out, and get the ball rolling in Iowa!
