Obama is a leader who sets the tone. I like the fact that he wants to win on truth and not resort to dirty politics.

His speech was wonderful!

Go Obama Nation!

****OBAMA IS BACK****

That was the Obama I have been missing! He seemed energized and back on point! I was stating to worry about him. It seemed like the attacks and the "fake controversies" were getting to him. His message hadn't diminished but it seemed like his spirit was starting to. I am so glad and proud! I think we need to give Hillary the one, two punch. I don't know about you, but I'm going to donate in honor of my renewed spirit. Hillary "claimed" she got 10 Mill in 24 hours after her win in Penn, I know we can do better. I can't give much but I'll do my part. Come on Indi!!! I know you can deliver!

YES WE CAN

(repost in case you missed it)

How The Obama Campaign Changed My Life

Last month I drove the seven hours to Pennsylvania to volunteer for Obama. I was one of the 35,000 people cheering for Obama at the rally Philadelphia, and I canvassed in Harrisburg, Scranton and Reading. I returned home because I was painfully aware that I was spending my rent money on gas, and I just couldn't afford another fill up.

On the Obama blog, the night of the April 22 primary, I posted my regrets that I couldn't donate because I found myself $300. short on my rent. The next morning, an email shocked me. A fellow Obama supporter saw my post and offered to buy one of my Obama necklaces for $300. I was totally overwhelmed, since I was laid off and the job hunt wasn't going well at all.

As we emailed back and forth, her story really moved me. Born in Iran, she'd lived in England for many years before winning a visa lottery to come to America. She's the only Iranian I've ever known. She embodies Obama's message of unity, and the kindness she showed me, a total stranger, is something this whole campaign should be proud of. One of the major reasons she supports Barack is her staunch opposition to attacking Iran. I'll be devastated if Hillary gets a chance to "obliterate Iran" or McCain gets to sing his twisted song "bomb bomb bomb Iran" in the Oval Office.

So, I want to do more to get Obama elected.

In addition to the logo necklace Afsaneh wanted, I made two custom necklaces using a photograph I took of Barack in Philadelphia. One, I sent to the beautiful Afsaneh, and one, I've put up on ebay Link for Obama. 100% of the sale price of this one-of-a-kind necklace will go directly to Obama for America.

Link ·:*¨¨*:· If you want to keep this wonderful "pay it forward" story going, BID! ·:*¨¨*:· Link

Oh, and yes, I paid my rent on time. It felt amazing.

it's one thing to be tenacious or determined but it's stupid to not know when it's time to reel in.

who has the donation numbers for april? i wonder if she's all bankrupt now. and i really want to know about the 10million in 24hrs lie.

I urge everyone to contact any super-delegate they can in their state, especially those states which Barack has won and let them know...it's time they pledge to Barack. I'm from Colorado and have let the Gov. know. I'm working on finding out who and how to contact the others. I'm so ready to have Barack run against McCain, we are ready to change this country back to what it should be. Barack has the vote of the "United States" not the "states" of America. So, no matter what state please contact those S.D's and urge them to vote for Barak Obama.

I went canvassing today - it was great. We brought home 60+% of the vote for Obama in my county - Whooo Hoooo!

Ok don't jump down my throat too much for this, but think about what I propose here.

Although I very much want Senator Obama to win in Indiana, a win by Senator Clinton will be more beneficial to Senator Obama. How is that you ask?

Well;

• Indiana is a "small" state.
• Indiana traditionally votes Republican.

When Senator Clinton claims it as a definitive win, she will be conceding to two of our points that we have won more of the "small" states AND we have the potential to alter other traditional Republican states.
