Lulu - Of all the bloggers and supporters, I have to say I respect your words and opinions above all! You truly "get it" when it comes to BHO. Please help the blog crew get back in touch with the messages of HOPE and NEW POLITICS that this campaign is built upon. We have lots of new people who hit these blogs every day, some of whom are HRC trolls of course, but all need to know what this is TRULY ABOUT! You know better than anyone, as you see it first hand on the ground. You live it every day. We can be mad, but we must FOCUS on the task at hand. This race is not won ~ JustinDear Lulu, over the past few months you have been an inspiration to me with your devotion to this cause! I am a 54 year old man who has voted Republican in every election. In 1968 before I could vote I actually worked on the Nixon campaign (big mistake)....When I was first investigating the Obama campaign and reading his stand on the issues I started reading the blogs. There was one person on the blogs that stood out and the commitment to the cause was inspiring. That person was you. You do not know me and we will never meet other than an occasional trading of words here. But your influence can never be estimated across the huge numbers of people on this site! Both my wife and I will be pulling the lever in November for Obama! Others are now voting for him because of what we have told others, and they are telling more! You are the well spring! Be proud! Believe me, my wife and I are proud of you. You are our HERO! Oh and just so you know if by some stroke of luck we get to have dinner with Barack Obama we are going to donate it to you because you deserve it! All our best! ~ Wayne & RobinHello Lulu, I am living in Canada and an Obama supporter. I have followed you on the blog and I am very impressed about your commitment to this fight for the soul of America. You are part of history and make no mistake about this: you will one day look back and say with pride that you were part of this struggle. I wish I could help in volunteering in this epic battle but I will keep praying for volunteers like you who have sacrificed quite a lot for this campaign. Continue the good work Lulu and very soon Obama will be in the oval office! ~ OkeyHi Lulu. I really respect all that you do for the Obama campaign, and you are deeply appreciated by many. You are quite the inspiration, and it is uplifting for people to hear your thoughts, and perspectives. Thank you for helping to make this country a better place, and for working so hard; for your inspiration, open-mindedness and efforts to get Barack Obama elected as our next POTUS! ~ RitzLulu! I just wanted to say hello! When I first got up the nerve to make a profile and post here for the first time last week, I cited you and a few others as inspiration to shed my shell, as it were. Thanks & have a blessed day! ~ JennyHi Lulu, I have been lurking on the blogs for over a month now and I wanted you to know that I have always enjoyed reading your contributions. I was one of the many, many readers who fruitlessly searched for your posts when you were on a brief hiatus; and you should know that I found the blog less satisfying without your leadership (and cheerleading). It is always refreshing to read your funny, inspiring and informative posts and I think that the efforts that you have expended during this campaign are extraordinary. You are an inspiration to many. Thank You! ~ MeaganLulu, I have been moved by your dedication, enthusiasm, and belief in Barack. I love reading your blog entries! You were one of the first ones who really made me feel a part of this grand adventure! You are one of our amazing ones! AND I want to hear about your Texas adventures!!! ~ Nancy Hi Lulu - I've been lurking on the blog and have been excited seeing your enthusiasm and the open arms that the other supporters extend to you. Thanks for getting out to TX and doing the work you did - your efforts are making a difference I'm sure! I've been donating through the main page, but tonight I wanted to come in and put my contribution through your page as a way of saying Hi and Thank you. I feel so good knowing that people like you are out there doing what you can on the road so that we can make sure Barack makes it all the way. Wow - so cool. :-) ~ LoLulu is a hero who has kept the blogs upbeat for months. Lulu you are an inspiration! ~ BlakeLulu - You're Amazing. I sit at my computer tonight after reading your letter and I am in complete awe at how you are able to so eloquently communicate your thoughts, your passion, your idiosyncrasies - just everything - in such an amazing way. I know that we haven't had direct interaction on the blogs, but there have been sooo many times that I've gone through the day, telling my husband about you and your posts, how they make me smile, think, stop and listen, or just laugh out loud. Thank you for being exactly who you are -- as authentic as you have been. Being involved in this campaign has taught me so much. I look forward to continuing the journey ~ ChrissieHi Lulu, You are such an inspiration to us. My husband, Jamal, is always reading your posts to me and spoke about you going to Texas. I finally decided to take more action than I have and did a profile ~ LynnLulu, I think you should raise your donation goal. You have that ability to convince people to donate more. Your contributions to this campaign have been amazing and your humor just makes the blogosphere alive. I wish I could do the same, but I'm just a quiet Obamacan lurker. Thank you for supporting our service members. I am also an officer just like Ty. It does feel good when people thank us for our service. Peace! ~ MyleneHi Lulu, I missed you while you were in Obama Rehab. You are so loved by your Obama family. I am moved that you were able to secure 4 full years of scholarship for your two students. I work out at Hunter point Naval Shipyards. Thanks you for all your work. Next time this year Obama will be our President ~ Emily Lulu, I just admire all your hard work so much! You Barack! ~ JillYou're such an inspiration to everyone on this blog. You rock! :) ~ NatalieLulu, I really appreciate reading your comments and being encouraged by your commitment. Blessings ~ Shane in SlovakiaFirst time on this site. I don’t know you, Lulu, but you speak elegantly & like Obama, you take the high road, which is the right road ~ JaniceHi Lulu, I just read your blog post - how wonderfully you transcend the written word to express emotion - that is your secret! You write in a manner that makes us feel like you are in the room with us - we can feel your energy, sometimes your sadness, hear your laughter, etc. Keep up the good fight ~ MaryHi Lulu, I love reading your posts. You are so full of love, life and humor that I feel a certain kinship ~ DanThanks for ALL that you've done for this campaign. You are an inspiration! ~ MaryannLulu, I wanted you to know that long ago, when you first came back and reported on your trip to Texas, I was so inspired that I decided then and there I would finally overcome my inertia and fear of rejection, and GOTV. I signed up for the Indiana Action team shortly after your return from Texas (I live in neighboring Illinois). Well, yesterday (before I got your note), I hunted down the precinct captain for the Michigan City, IN office, and told him I wanted to come to Indiana this weekend to register voters. So on Saturday, I will be packing the car, leaving the kids with my husband, and heading for Indiana for a day of knocking on doors. AND I WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THE INSPIRATION OF YOUR TEXAS TRIP WEEKS AGO. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT THE MANY THINGS YOU DO FOR THIS CAMPAIGN GROW ITS SUCCESS EXPONENTIALLY. Thank you. :) ~ ChristineLulu, you're such a warm person you can't even conceal it. You're the personification of what Obama can bring out of all of us: the best. I can't wait to meet you in Texas. You'll be able to take your warmth from the blogs onto the streets of Austin. Bless your sweet heart ~ JulieLulu, that a presidential campaign can inspire such heartfelt and thoughtful soul-searching and transformation is a testament to its strength, I think, and to yours ~ RueLulu, I'm grateful for your honesty and for your depth of thought. That you've grown so much and thought so deeply due to intense involvement with Obama's campaign makes me feel even better about supporting Obama for president. The world needs people like you, and people like him to spur them on! ~ LoriHi, Lulu! I was drawn to your Obama page and blog tonight because of a post you made on the community blog. Really enjoyed your most recent personal blog. And then I moved to an earlier one, where you announced your return. I was so touched by your words, as well as by the clear support you received from so many within the Obama community ~ ElyseHi Lulu, I travel extensively internationally for work and your blog contributions have really made me inspired. I was at the Obama speech on Feb 5 and it was amazing. Keep it up for all of us!!!! ~ KellyLulu, I see you on here so much - love your enthusiasm! It is fun to read your comments and see your excitement! Keep having fun and entertaining us bloggers! Love the excitement in reading your blog comments! ~ DebraHi Lulu, thanks for hopping back onto the hope wagon full of hope mongers. Your words have brought tears into my eyes. Strange coz big boys don’t cry ~ JoeLulu, Hi! I'm in San Francisco too. You are the best. You are so cheerful and good for this/our campaign. ~ JuliaLulu. I have always enjoyed your commitment to this great movement. I have a dream and I am believing in my dream that our time has come. Hold yourself in there strong Lulu. You are who you are and are entitled to respect, huge respect! You are an awesome inspiration to so very many who are in here, myself included! ~ JamesHi Lulu, I see you all over the blog with INSPIRING words about Obama. People like you help others to be part of this great movement! Keep up the great work Lulu :) ~ JoleenYour blog really touched me Lady Lulu, thank you for taking the time to write it out in such loving detail.I would love to be able to write as much and as well as you do. Sorry to ramble on, but I am just "giddy as a school girl" when people write me on this site...I am always So excited to talk to other people that LOVE Barack the way I do!!! Thank you for writing me Lady Lulu, I feel like a celebrity just sent me a private message :) ~ NathanielLulu - you have given so much already. I'm just asking, please, stay on point with us and help spread the joy that is in your heart to some of the newbies that get scared by their own shadow. Yours is a voice of reason and HOPE. Yours was the voice, on these blogs, that brought me to Obama from JRE. We all need you! ~ Justin
~ Then one day the blog got ugly & I left it for a few days ~ went to Obama Rehab ~ LOLI just heard a terrible rumor that you weren't going to blog anymore. I hope that is not true. Sometimes we need to be reminded what we mean to each other. I was a silent "lurker" on the blog for a long time. I had never had the courage to lend my voice to anything like this. In fact, due to a stroke a year ago, my spoken voice is not a reliable as my written voice. Mostly, I listened to you. Here was this young dynamic beautiful teacher that was hip and smart and funny - you helped give me a voice. I miss you on the blog. I thought you were in Texas, so I wasn't concerned - and then I heard the rumor. If you are campaigning - I hope you are having a wonderful time. If you are still here and silent, please know the power of your voice ~ LynnLulu, may I tell you what your presence here has meant to me? I don't leave many messages, but I read these blogs daily. Due to a severe accident I am recovering from, I'm housebound. I've followed these pages closely and you, my dear, have been a breath of fresh air each and every day. Your positive outlook, gracious warmth, friendly and enthusiastic nature, and dedication to this great movement are a ray of sunshine I look forward to in the morning. I was devastated when my state, CA, let down Obama. I came on here and the first thing I saw was you. The way you rebounded, your view of the positives, your ability to keep moving forward, and the effect you've had on other posters (like Ty,) have warmed my heart and lightened my load more times then I can count. While you don't know me, I feel like I know you and I'm confident that you are a person I'd be proud to call "friend," and I'm also certain that many others on here would share that sentiment. Please dear, reconsider. Were you to leave, it would be a grievous loss for many of us ~ RoLulu, many of us here like myself look forward to your posts...lol...try to gather strength and draw strength from the Obama family you have here. You are such a tremendous support. You have inspired so many! This forum is a place to have that dialogue. It where HQ comes for a temper check. You are a part of that. You are a positive part of that. You are helping. You are an important representation. Don't go...you've given money, time, mind share, energy and encouraged other to do the same...all positive, all essential to this campaigns success. Its not wonder, everyone wants a piece of Lulu...Your positivity is needed on this blog because you bring a joy and light heartedness to the mix. I, like everyone else on this blog have visited many other blogs but none compare to this, to you, and each individual whose dedication screams from the pages of this blog. Stay your course we need you! ~ MooseHey Lulu, Just wanted to say you have been a positive force. Also, I agree with your sentiments, but leaving will remove the positive influence you have on some of us on the blog. Hope you reconsider and stay. Don’t leave now; you are one of our greatest contributors! ~ KudratiLulu, come back please and just breathe for a second. Remember the soldier that knew your name and said he came here to read your posts. Remember the encouragement you gave him and how appreciative he was to you. I know things can get crazy on this blog, some of us that have blogged since Iowa don't say as much anymore because we have so many new people, but that's a good thing, it's kind of grown beyond us....It's still a place that needs to represent the tone and hopefulness of our candidate. We all need to try to make it that place ~ JodiI always enjoy reading your posts...I tend to scroll through all the posts as quickly as I can and post every now and then. You always put a smile on my face. Thanks for all of your hard work and uplifting comments ~ DeannLulu, I've been reading your posts for a very long time. You are a voice of constant inspiration and embody the hope that Obama speaks of. I do hope that you won't let your spirited voice leave the Blog as you have inspired many to join in. If so, it will be a great pity ~ BillLulu, Please don't leave! I love reading your posts and your enthusiasm is contagious! You can't leave!!! This board will not be the same without you ~ Reformed RepublicanPlease Lulu do not leave the blog. Remember that you are doing this for the future of the campaign and not the people who are irritating the blog. Please Lulu think again and remember you were there in the beginning and we all need you there. You are one of the reasons I check the blog. Thanks ~ Okey from CanadaLulu, You haven't been around on the blogs much, and, at the very high risk of sounding terribly creepy...I miss you! And I KNOW I'm not the only one. You are one of those communicators that always manage to show your personality through your words. You are feisty, intelligent, joyful, and Hopeful to a degree that the rest of us can only aspire to. We need strong women like you here. I mean that. Hope to be seeing you soon! ~ CatMy sister told me you were leaving the blog. Although I understand it is frustrating seeing an increasing amount of negativity, and the people who seem to be know it alls concerning running the campaign, but it is people like you that keep the blog running strong and positive. I don’t think u need to bear responsibility of the actions of others, but I think you should continue to grace us with your insightfulness and strong message of hope. Hope to see you around. Best wishes ~ PaulHi Lulu: I read the blog daily and never post. I read them because of people like you. I quietly donate and phone bank. It was your voice, joined with others, that made me take part of my unemployment check and donate to this cause. Barack has told us that the cynics’ voices would get louder as this journey moved forward. You cannot let their voices be heard over yours. It is too late Lulu, you are a big part of this movement whether you like it or not. Hang in there; tomorrow’s victory will not be the same without a big YAHOOO from Lulu! ~ ChrisWhen I read you were leaving it felt like I was losing someone very close to me and all I know you of is by you blog post!! I FEEL CONNECTED TO YOU!!! I feel like if I ran into you at the local Wal Mart I would know you when not even meeting you prior. I know it’s strange but I get what I'm trying to say in my mind. So today is my third straight day sine you left and I'm going to be getting at you until you're back!!!!! ~ RickYou would be surprised of the profound impact that you have on people that's FOR BARACK through your blogging. For one look at me, Kyle from South Carolina and Lulu from Cali on different sides of the COUNTRY but here for one COMMON GOAL!! While I know you wont stop fighting for Barack I am not going to stop from encouraging you to BLOG!! If I have to write you ever day then so be it. You taught me to NEVER stop going after someone or anything that you feel we should have and YOU are what we need!! So maybe you'll have to delete your personal neighborhood page. :) I want to leave you with a thought...The most effective way to ensure the value of the future is to confront the present courageously and constructively. (Remember!) If you have one eye on yesterday, and one eye on tomorrow, you’re going to be cockeyed today! ~ Rev Run~ But then I came back…You know we all missed you...:-) Great message. We're all feeling the strain, and you worded your goals for yourself and us beautifully. Glad to see you back! ~ CatWelcome back Lulu!! I don't know you from the man in the moon---but I did miss you and I'm surely glad to have you back! You make a difference. You've got a little of Barack Obama's spirit, and it shows! ~ KJJust as God has angels to help get out his message, Obama has people like you. You are an extension of his voice. You bring a sense of humor, a sense of calm and a sense of reason to the blog. I just wish you had been here for the ice cream thread!! ~ KathyHi Lulu, this is my second time to ever add my two cents on the blog but I would admit I steadily read the blogs everyday but your blogs were truly missed. I am glad to see you back. Welcome back once again ~ PromiseLulu, your letter on your blog is so inspirational. It's very easy to get lost and frazzled during this highly emotional race for the Presidency. Your input is so beneficial. We really and truly are glad to have you back, so thanks! Beautiful, Lulu. Thank you for your heart and soul, which you've put into this campaign. You care so deeply. Just like Michelle. Just like Barack. Just like all of us can, if we try ~ CarolHi Lulu, you don't know me but I have been reading you comments over the past couple months. You and other like you are truly the reason why our candidate is doing so well. I also noticed you were absent for a while, but its good to have you back ~ DawitLulu, you never know how much I missed you. Even though I rarely post anything, I constantly read the blogs. You are the only one that has kept me so motivated except of course Barack. Welcome back, Love ~ DebbieWelcome back. You are kind of an unofficial mascot to many of us. You set an example for all of us. Hugs ~ OhioLulu, what a joy to have our ray of sunshine back. You are a jewel, with many facets and lots of shine. It is such a pleasure to have you back here at home. Thank you!!! ~ May Lulu, You are such a sweetheart and a pure, loving, giving and open-minded soul. No wonder everyone whose path you cross adores you. Welcome back! :) ~ LeaThanks Lulu for your dedication and hard work for the country you dearly love. You are my hero. Bless you for all of the great things you do and for being such a good-hearted soul, with great character and integrity ~ IdaGod bless you Lulu. I want to echo the sentiments of many on this blog: You are one in a million. You are my HERO. Stay strong ~ HenryLulu: I love the essence of the blogging Lulu. You are inspiring, you rock and I love that you live in San Francisco, one of my most favorite cities and are supporting Obama, my most favorite candidate. Thanks for your donations, positive presence and sheer funness. ~ KevinI wanted to give a shout out to LULU for her ongoing positive support for all of us and everything we are doing and her future travels to TX. In her honor: WHO's MAKING PHONE CALLS? Who's going door to door? Faith Without ACTION is Dead. More Talking to our fellow Americans!! ~ PJI couldn't agree more. While I have not commented much on the blogs, I am reading them frequently (okay... constantly) and Lulu's posts have really inspired me. Perhaps it's in part because I am a fellow educator :) ~ LisaYou inspire me so much, Lulu! I've been reading your posts and your enthusiasm is contagious. I made 5 calls to Wisconsin today and so far, 20 to Hawaii, and still going! ~ KathyFan of Lulu, Is there anyone else here who would like to see a profile of Lulu and all her efforts on this blog? She's an inspiration in good times and bad J ~ LivFor months on this blog I have seen one person who has worked so hard on Obama's behalf. I would suggest that if one of us is lucky enough to win this dinner we give it to Lulu! I will make my donation and if I win well...Lulu you will have to go to dinner in my place! I will ask you to get me an autograph though! ~ WayneWayne, I'm in on that one!! LULU has been the life of this blog for months now. She has worked so had not only for the campaign but also for us. Keeping us laughing, all those crazy stories! ~ RhondaWayne, great idea. I was thinking if Lulu got it, it would feel like we were all there with her! ~ JeannieLULU! You are the BOMB! I really hope that Barack does something really wonderful for you! You have been such an inspiration to all of us! ~ LilyLULU: People like you with your positive energy have inspired me and others to bring Obama votes and donations, whether on line or with personal contacts. With 100 percent heart felt thanks you have made a huge positive impact on posters, readers and the Obama campaign. Please take joy and pride in that and thank you for allowing me the privilege of reading your thoughts. Love and respect ~ PatrickLULU FOR VP! ~ Blake
