Everyone lets please keep working hard in whatever way we can! Please keep donating, phone banking, canvassing and doing whatever you can! I have a personal fundraising page where I am attempting to raise $1,000 in small donations. Can you help me meet this goal?

Link

I have personally donated $140 to this campaign, but I do not have much money and cannot afford to donate anymore at the moment, but thanks to many wonderful Obama supporters my fundraising page has received over $600 in donations, can you help me reach my goal of $1,000 before March 4th by making a donation now?

Link

I particularly would like to get more young people like myself involved, Did you know Hillary said that work is a four letter word to young people? Lets prove her wrong! Even if you cannot afford to donate much why not donate $1 (cost of a Coke), $5 (a couple slices of pizza) or $10 (a ticket to a movie)? This small donation shows our stength in numbers and is how we will win the election!

Ask the Question ! | Report to Admin

By Diplomat for Change Feb 28th 2008 at 3:42 pm EST

Let's hope these excellent endorsements continue -- but please, please now is the time to keep up the pressure on the Clinton campaign to have Hillary honor her commitment during Tuesday's debate to: (1) release her tax returns, and (2) have President Clinton release his White House papers. The American people deserve to know the contents prior to Tuesday, March 4th. Obviously, the Clinton camp wants to keep this information under wraps -- and if not released by Tuesday, a golden opportunity missed! Keep up the pressure - Wednesday will be too late. Texas and Ohio need to be squarely in the Obama camp next week to keep the "momentum" moving forward to the convention.

I believe that our closing argument to close the deal should be voter turnout.

Barack has inspired a dizzying number of NEW VOTERS to come out and vote for him in these primaries. Hillary's response to this phenomenon has been to try to DAMPEN voters' hopes. She has countered Barack's vision by presenting a PESSIMISTIC VISION to these new voters. Because Hillary has chosen such a pessimistic response, these NEW VOTERS would return to their old habits if she were the nominee - they would not bother to show up at the polls.

Therefore, it the party was to choose Hillary as the nominee, we would literally be throwing away millions of votes! It's not that these people would vote for McCain - they wouldn't vote at all! They would remain so disillusioned by the entire political system that they would stay home!

Can our party afford to throw away millions of votes in November?

Report: Obama Campaign Official Secretly Reassured Canada On NAFTA | Report to Admin

By Mattcarr80 Feb 28th 2008 at 12:03 pm EST

A new report from Canada's CTV says that according to Canadian government sources, a senior official from the Obama campaign secretly assured a Canadian official not to take Obama's talk about threatening to pull out of NAFTA too seriously, noting that it was just "campaign rhetoric"

If this story gets traction, it will hurt us in Ohio.

Re: Report: Obama Campaign Official Secretly Reassured Canada On NAFTA | Report to Admin

By Joe Feb 28th 2008 at 12:08 pm EST

Yep - I really think that Obama has stated that he supports 'Free Trade' but with respect to NAFTA he has articulated that the overall philosophy is valid but there are inherently flawed 'mechanisms' within the law.

Re: Report: Obama Campaign Official Secretly Reassured Canada On NAFTA | Report to Admin

By Hope in Michigan Feb 28th 2008 at 1:47 pm EST

This squabble over public financing of our campaign is being "inspired" by the likes of the RNC, Camp HRC, John McCain, etc. Let's not let this false issue seep into our minds and break our focus on winning this nomination.

Re: Campaign Financing | Report to Admin

By frstan Feb 28th 2008 at 1:32 pm EST

some useful info:
For the purposes of Public Campaign Financing Law, the primarys and the general election are two different "elections". Obama is not under any restrictions in the Primarys since he has not used and Public Campaign Financing Law money.

No decision has been made about the General Election to come but Barack has said if nominated he will try to get the Republican nominee to make some agreement to including *all* financing. Clearly he cant agree to just use Public Financing Law money if Mccain will continue to allow code section 527 funds to be used for himself.

For my part, I dont care and will go with what Obama decides.

He has battled legislatively against the death penalty.

In Washington, he has worked with Republicans on nuclear proliferation, government waste and global warming.

The Clash Over Senator Obama's Cash | Report to Admin

By Clotelle from Mableton, GA Feb 28th 2008 at 12:16 pm EST

Please take a look at this article in the New York Times "Campaign spending proposal hems in Obama"

Sen. Barack Obama's challenge to his rivals to rein in spending has boomeranged into a test of Obama's own ability to balance principle and politics in a very different context.
Link

Before this even becomes an even bigger issue/story, I am asking all donors to please sign my online petition to let Senator Obama know that he has our support to say "No!" to public financing in the general election. Over a million of us have donated to this campaign and over a million of us should speak out concerning this issue! Thank you and please spread the word!

There is no concern

I believe it was s strategic answer from senator Obama to the question.

Right now he is running for nomination, later he will be the presidential candidate and the DNC will need to come to agreement with him on all issues including finances. He is a part of the democratic party, and he will still hold strong by his ideas and the importance of leaving out the lobbyists Washington string pullers. He can't exclude the DNC from the decision. This was very wise move.. Has he done otherwise, HRC would have jumped on his throat and said are you making the decisions before consulting the DNC. If he was running as an independent may be.. But not as a democratic presidential candidate.

That's my take

TRICK not buying this. Not a good idea for Obama Nation to sign a petition asking Barack to do anything about whether he will or will not go with public financing of our campaign for President. That would be political suicide in the making--at this time. Barack has said how and when he will deal with the issue of public financing of campaigns. Just think about it...

OKAY.

Here's the deal. For the trip to win Texas, I have already invested &1,560.00. 3 air tickets for me and two of my team members; hundreds of buttons and hand-made "Obama" signs and placards, pressed T-shirts, etc.

That is nothing. We intend to invest more in this mission, even as we continue to make our regular donations to the campaign.

SO.

What I need you to do is HELP ME REACH MY MAX. Any amount you donate up to my personal fundraiser up $25, I'll match it dollar for dollar. If you are a FIRST TIME DONOR, I'll match it dollar for dollar up to the amount of $50.
Link

Now, that is an excellent deal. But it doesn't end there. By contributing to to my page, you are motivating me and my team (three people already on the ground since last week; three more on their way today and tomorrow) to spend even more for the campaign (provide donuts and coffee to student volunteers, Thai food for dinner for those who can't afford it because they are totally invested in the campaign, etc.)
Link

Believe me: I donated my new luxury Travel Trailer for use as an Obama satellite office in Nevada, and it made a great difference. Please, motivate me and my team to do more.

Mitt Romney's real first name is Willard! He disclosed that on the campaign trail awhile ago obviously before his departure from the race. I find it fascinating that no one knew his real name until he disclosed it and he chooses to go by his middle name Mitt.

I love the fact that Barack didn't feel it was necessary to change his name to "fit in". I am not saying that's what Mitt did, but Barack keeping true to himself is what I love about him so much. :)

Utterly Destroy Al Qaeda, Unconditional Surrender | Report to Admin

By Ken from Katonah Feb 28th 2008 at 12:49 pm EST

Aren't Mccain's attacks on Obama's Iraq policies really an effort to steal the independent voter in Texas?

Shouldn't Obama be out there saying loudly: "On one thing John McCain and I can completely agree. We share the same goal: The unconditional surrender of Al Qaeda. If not their surrender then the utter and total destruction of Al Qaeda."

Isn't everything else just tactical? Wasn't this Franklin Roosevelt's Mantra in 1942?
.
Obviously, McCain want Obama and Clinton to go on fighting to the bitter end whcih would lead to the destruction of the democratic party.

I am a staunch supporter, and I admire the Obama Team's brilliant campaign up to this point; lets not blow it at the last moment. If others agree, can't we get a message to Obama to maybe make a direct Patriotic appeal assuring the Independent Texas voter that Obama intends to utterly destroy Al Qaeda?

This is why I do not want Barack to sign on for federal money.

We already know that the GOP has endless $$ available from oil and pharmaceutical co. There will be VERY nasty Swiftboating going on from Sept thru Nov.

That will necessitate orgs. like Move-on to jump in with VERY nasty Swiftboating defenses. This will all force Obama's campaign into the very nastiness he renounces, and he won't be able to do anything to stop it. It will, however, be blamed on him.

He will need millions to place positive ads and appearances to counter these attacks himself, thereby maintaining at least some control over the tenor of the fight.

Our money is the best way to do that. Plus -- we all need the feeling of helping get all of us to the White House!

Below is waht I wrote in response on the blog. I hope it gets published. Link

Are you kidding? I used to respect you, Mr. Phillips. I'm stunned by your complete inability to comprehend what is actually going on in America. Your own bitterness over race relations in this country have blinded you.

Perhaps though, if this is your view, it explains the difficulties that Britain has with multi-culturalism and in finding it's identity in the 21st century. And it probably explains why your agency lacks any real vision or success in promoting racial and gender equality.

To me, a white middle ages expatriate American woman in the UK, Obama represents change and hope for the future for all Americans. I did not vote for him out of some vague guilt over slavery. I voted for him because he promises to end the war in Iraq and to collaborate with other countries. He represents the best PERSON both to restore the US's image abroad and to unite all Americans around the theme of their own self-empowerment to effect change. Novel concept in a nanny state I know!

Clinton's tasteless Texas Ad | Report to Admin

Hillary is running an ad in Texas saying that Ann Richards would have supported her despite the objection of two of Ann's children.

Second, how could you stubbornly run an ad when two of the children highly objected to it?

Richards' Sons Object to Clinton Video
By NEDRA PICKLER – 1 day ago
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The two sons of Ann Richards, the late former Texas governor, are objecting to an Internet video published by Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign that suggests their mother would have supported Clinton.
Clinton's campaign had permission from Richards' youngest daughter, Ellen, who said in a statement provided by the campaign that her mother was an "ardent feminist" who would be thrilled by her friend Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
"I believe that if my mom were alive today that she would be stumping across Texas and around the country supporting Hillary for president," her statement said.
Richards was governor from 1991-1995. She died in September 2006 at age 73. The two-minute video on Clinton's campaign Web site comes a week before the Texas primary and targets women voters in the state.
"So many women around Texas and America are saying, `Wish Ann was here, for us and for Hillary,'" a female voiceover says on the video.
"Today Ann would be asking all of us to make a statement. She would be traveling to every small town and big city in Texas, urging us all to take a stand, be counted, to make a difference, to make history," it says while a picture of Richards and Clinton appears on the screen. "This one's for Texas. This one's for our country. This one's for Ann."
But sons Dan and Clark Richards, partners at an Austin law firm, say nobody can know who the outspoken and opinionated former governor would have supported in the race between Clinton and Barack Obama.
"As her children, we never presumed to know her mind when alive and we are not prepared to make a claim as to who she would endorse or what she would do if she were still with us," they wrote in an e-mail last week. "We are not granting permission for her name to be used in advertisements on behalf of either candidate."

Re: Clinton's tasteless Texas Ad | Report to Admin

By Chris San Jose Cal Feb 28th 2008 at 1:02 pm EST

continued:

The e-mail, provided to The Associated Press by Dan Richards, was sent to Cathy Bonner, a friend of their mother's and member of Richards' administration. Bonner is working with Clinton's campaign and sent Dan and Clark Richards an early copy of the video on Feb. 19 "to make sure you are okay with it."
Dan Richards said in an interview Tuesday that they denied permission and he's angry the campaign published the video anyway. He said the campaign contacted him again last Friday to ask him to reconsider, and he repeated his objections.
"They asked me if I would sue the campaign, and I said no, I wasn't in the business of suing the campaign, but I didn't think they should do it," he said in a telephone interview. "To try to present who she would endorse a year and a half after she died is offensive to me."
Cathy Bonner said in an interview that after Richards' sons objected the video was edited to remove photos of the family. "We're not saying we speak for the family," Bonner said. She said the video is a statement from the former governor's supporters about the strong bond between Clinton and Richards.
Ann Richards' fourth child, Cecile, is president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. A spokeswoman for the organization did not return a telephone call Tuesday night seeking comment from Cecile Richards.

Obama should make a patriotic appeal to independents: Unconditional Surrender of Al Qaeda. He must counter McCain's fear mongering. Republicans want the nomination battle to go on and on and on.....

"Superdelegates are not second-class delegates," says Joel Ferguson, who will be a superdelegate if Michigan is seated. "The real second-class delegates are the delegates that are picked in red-state caucuses that are never going to vote Democratic."

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

By now you all know about the "fake", Clinton-planted story that an Obama campaign staffer contacted the Canadian government to tell them that "Obama wasn't really serious about reforming NAFTA".

It was all proven false, a statement from the Canadian government disclosing the truth has been made, etc. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE - CLINTON IS USING THIS TO DESTROY OBAMA'S NAFTA CRED. IN OHIO AND THIS IS GOING TO HURT US.

This a very common Clinton/Lieberman campaign trick that WILL WORK among the "low-info" voters.

WE CAN HELP THOUGH - MORE PHONE BANKING TO OHIO WILL HELP TO DEFUSE THIS.

But, without an effort made by us to set the record straight with voters this could be enough for us to LOSE OHIO.

Barak and Barack are not however the same; although, according to the article Barak can also mean blessing in Hebrew as Barack means blessed or one who is blessed by God in Arabic. Hebrew and Arabic often have similar roots because they both developed in such close proximity. But in his case, the Arabic Barack does not come from Hebrew, its Swahili, which is (I think) based from Arabic.

It has become very clear with this morning's new conference as in LORD OF THE RINGS where the '...eye was fixed on Rivendale', the RNP has its gaze focused on Obama. It is very telling how swife George W has been in attempting to buttress and weigh-in to support McCain who has pledged to continue the Bush policies when he (GW) really, "Do[esn't] want to get into politics."

All of this from my perspective reveals how much BO is seen as a serious threat to the Republican Party--unlike their telling ignoring of HRC, they seem to feel it wise to begin early with counter measures aimed toward Obama.

The GOP can no longer use Barack's name in press releases or formally. It is a "distraction."

Those who have been protesting, take note.

Now would be a good time to cease the name, not out of shame, but out of victory! It is very much now an "off limits" issue and I believe (being one of the first dozen or so co-adopters of the name and people to write to various outlets in protest) that we have MADE OUR POINT RESOUNDINGLY!!!!

Be sure to make a little noise (here and elsewhere) about the lowest low of the HRC campaign: claiming the endorsement of a deceased feminist icon, who just happened to be a Texas governor (Ann Richards)--despite the wishes of Richards' sons.

Shame on Hillary for playing the gender card in such a calculated, disgusting manner!
