This is a historical moment, happening only once in generation. An opportunity not to miss, ... a chance to find a way out of the present darkness, out a worldwide Crisis, out of the immorality of our world.

Because of what is at stake, ... it is necessary to shift the focus from special interests to the general, from the noble idea of making a special friend like Hillary happy, to the good for all. ... Think about a future for the children of the world wherever they are and whatever the color of their skin, whatever their heritage! Look at the bigger picture when trillion of dollars of military expenditures ... will be redirected to improve education, build schools, pay better teachers and researchers, improve health and healthcare, and assure the well-being of all, happiness, social welfare, dialog and peace in the USA and on Earth.

Let's shift from the idea of a woman "now" as president, to the idea of a nicer woman, humbler, less personally ambitious, less divisive, more independent as President. A woman who will be elected on her own merits, not because her husband, a former President is using his unique talent and abusing 16 years of connections as President and Governor to move a fantastic political machine to have his wife elected. Let's wait, for example, for a time that a woman like the wonderful independent and courageous congresswoman from California and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will step forward.

... Let's help have in the White House, the white and black, Christian and Muslim, religious and free-thinker, spiritual and practical, Barack Hussein Obama, the next President of the United States of America and the Leader of a new free world, prosperous, egalitarian, sustainable, peaceful, moral, ethical and loving.

Yes, hoping for the best and imagining a different better world, imagining a "change we can believe in" is one of the reason we want Barack Obama to become the next President of the United States of America. But that doesn't say it all.

This is a historical moment, happening only once in generation. An opportunity not to miss, the "urgency of our time". Electing Barack Obama as President of the United States, means nothing less than giving a chance for a Change in the history of humanity, a chance to find a way out of the present darkness, out a worldwide Crisis, out of the immorality of our world.

Because of what is at stake, of what Barack Obama's presidency represents, not only for the USA but for the world, it is necessary to shift the focus from special interests to the general, from the noble idea of making a special friend like Hillary happy, to the good for all. Although Barack Obama is comparable to any other presidential hopeful on the issues of economy, it is necessary today to shift for a moment from what's best for our private pocket in the short term, from the idea of a diner with an attractive First couple, to what is at stake that is immensely bigger. Think for a while about saving our planet, about ending a war, about people in the the world feeling united and represented by the President of the United States; think about a future for the children of the world wherever they are and whatever the color of their skin, whatever their heritage! Look at the bigger picture when trillion of dollars of military expenditures of the present confrontational system and policies will be redirected to improve education, build school, pay better teachers and researchers, improve health and healthcare, and assure the well-being of all, happiness, social welfare, dialog and peace in the USA and on Earth.

This is going to be a radical positive change. A change for a more peaceful world, gentler, more harmonious, less divided. A change you have hoped for and you can believe in.

Let's shift from the idea of a woman "now" as president, to the idea of a nicer woman, humbler, less personally ambitious, less divisive, more independent as President. A woman who will be elected on her own merits, not because her husband, a former President is using his unique talent and abusing 16 years of connections as President and Governor to move a fantastic political machine to have his wife elected. Let's wait, for example, for a time that a woman like the wonderful independent and courageous congresswoman from California and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, will step forward. Let's have the best person elected. Let's also respect the spirit of our Constitution and the principles of our deep moral values which tell us there is something wrong in the Clinton pizzeria offer, something indecent, even something insulting to Americans. Let's prevent a quasi anti-constitutional third term for the Clinton couple, and stop a possible 36 years Bush-Clinton monarchy, as Vice-President and Presidents, First Lady and First Man.

Let's help the young, inspired and inspiring, independent, ethical, unifying, transparent, Barack Obama, the one that like no other candidate is already hugely popular worldwide and who will have the moral leadership and support to reshape America's image in the world. Let's help elect the one who has already moved people in America and dramatically increased American's participation in the political process, putting an end to political cynicism. Let's help have in the White House, the white and black, Christian and Muslim, religious and free-thinker, spiritual and practical, Barack Hussein Obama, the next President of the United States of America and the Leader of a new free world, prosperous, egalitarian, sustainable, peaceful, moral, ethical and loving.
