Aloha Friends,

Today is the day! After months of preparations, the voters in Iowa will be the first to cast their votes for the Democratic nominee for President. Obama has strong support in Iowa, although most polls are deadlocked -- "too close to call". He got a boost yesterday when Dennis Kucinich asked his supporters to vote for Obama on the second ballot. It's an important vote of confidence from a progressive candidate. We should start seeing results from Iowa by by 7 or 8 pm tonight.

Win, lose, or draw -- the race is far from over. While some candidates have nearly gone 'all in' on Iowa, Obama has been building the basis for a nationwide campaign. He is well positioned in New Hampshire, and currently has staff and field offices in 22 states. With early fundraising and energetic supporters, Obama's team has been able to position him for Super Tuesday. If the race is close, Obama is better prepared for a long campaign than any other candidate.

Here in Hawaii, we'll be casting our votes in the Democratic caucus on February 19th. By that time, 35 states will have voted. Regardless of where the race stands, we want the largest possible turnout for our candidate. So we’re getting prepared, hoping that our grassroots efforts will show Hawaii’s overwhelming support for our favorite son. We’re proud of Barack and what he’s been able to achieve.

If you can afford to make a small donation to the campaign, today is a day you can make a vote of confidence. Donate at BarackObama.com

Mahalo,

P.S. On January 12, we'll be meeting again at Kawananako School. Barack's sister Maya is back in town from her campaign tour through Iowa, and will give us an update on the national efforts. Our last meeting had more than 150 supporters, and we think the cafeteria can hold about twice that many. Please RSVP so we know how many people to expect.
