Chicago, IL - Senator Obama released the following statement today in response to the tragic cyclone in Burma.
“My heart goes out to the people of Burma who have lost loved ones or otherwise been tragically affected by the cyclone that devastated Burma this past weekend.
I support the Administration's plan to deploy a disaster assistance response team to Burma to assess the needs of Burma’s people, and I urge the Burmese government to allow our team access so that we can move quickly and expeditiously in coordination with others in the international community to get help to those who most need it. Although the regime in Burma is one whose repressive rule deserves our condemnation, I also strongly believe that humanitarian assistance should not be used as a political tool against those in need."

Dear all:
I've started a 'group' called OBAMA with candles for Obama.
Please join me in lighting a candle for him. May God grant the paved path of success tonight and for the general election.

HRC has close to 3000 candles lit for her. We can do better for Obama!
I also created a group for the people of Myanmar called Mynmr (few letters allowed). While at the site, you may also want to light a candle for the people of Myanmar. Link
May their government allow the international community to help their citizens. May the people of Myanmar have the courage to endure this horrible tragedy.
Kay
G'Day ObamaFriends!
YES WE CAN!
