There are a couple of new items on MyBo that I wanted to bring to your attention. The first is the new feature on Neighbor to Neightbor, which is called Vets to Vets. Right now, it targets phone calls to vets in New Hampshire, but I'm sure that will expand to other swing states quickly. Here is the link: http://my.barackobama.com/page/votercontact/landing.

Second, Im pleased to announce that there is a Womens Veterans for Obama group @: http://my.barackobama.com/page/group/FemaleVetsforObama (it says Female Vets for Obama, but they are working on changing that). For those of you who are women veterans, you are well aware of our unique needs, and how imperative it is to bring those needs to the forefront. Please spread the word and let's get the group numbers up!

I have been asked by Stephen Fox, Contributing Editor for the New Mexico Sun News to share his blog posts: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/stephenfox/gG5Q5n.

There is one thing he said that I want to echo: WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION!

We risk losing everything that we have fought for for the past232 years, namely, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for us, our children and our childrens children. This is a class war. They are using their bastardized version of "family values" against us, and believe me, there are a lot of folk out there buying every ignorant word they are putting out.

WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION!!

Veterans medical benefits will be privatized. Personnel returning from OIF/OEF will continue to be short-changed in receiving the care they need for the physical and psychological damage they have suffered for serving their country. Much needed services to assist them in transitioning from military to civilian life will be non-existent.

WE MUST WIN THIS ELECTION!!!

We need to show them that Community Organizers trump their Hockey Mom, on ice, grass, on the water, in the air, and in the desert.

Have a great weekend, get lots of calls made, doors knocked on and literature distributed. And as always, stay "Fired Up"!
