We found this great letter to the editor in the Quad-City Times (Iowa Newspaper).
Next time you write up a great post for your own blog here at BarackObama.com, email it to your local newspaper as well and let everyone who isn't part of our community in on all the excitement.
Obama sets Iowa afireAnticipation was in the air for days in the Quad-Cities, but Davenport drummed up a big hit Saturday as fresh-faced Rock Island youth pounded rhythm in unison. So infectious was the phenomenon that many there, myself included, had to stand and stomp along. When Barack Obama entered the room and joined in the step clap cadence, the gymnasium caught fire. Obama, once a skinny kid from the south side of Chicago, coming from humble roots and making it the American way, touches something deep inside us all. Those in Democratic circles count their blessings for his presence and quality as a candidate, while the other side of the aisle is confounded by his ability to transcend party lines. Non-participating voters become active again, all simply accomplished by an attitude of an honest fresh discussion with the public that somehow becomes a one-on-one conversation, even in a room of thousands.Barack has what many desire yet few ever attain and many in his opposition fear: truthful integrity.

Obama sets Iowa afire
Anticipation was in the air for days in the Quad-Cities, but Davenport drummed up a big hit Saturday as fresh-faced Rock Island youth pounded rhythm in unison. So infectious was the phenomenon that many there, myself included, had to stand and stomp along. When Barack Obama entered the room and joined in the step clap cadence, the gymnasium caught fire.

Non-participating voters become active again, all simply accomplished by an attitude of an honest fresh discussion with the public that somehow becomes a one-on-one conversation, even in a room of thousands.
