King James BibleI press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I am home again, only for three days then back to Detroit I go. I can't imagine what Senator Obama and his family are going through right now. Travel takes a lot out of a person. I would like to commend Senator Obama for his perserverence with this campaign. I do not know if I would have the strength to travel for that long.
I just think we should all take a lesson from this aspect of what he is going through now. No matter how tough it gets to keep up with our lives, trying to balance personal, professional, and more, if we take just one baby step a day toward our goal, eventually it will be reached. Thank you for reading.
The voter registration drive is over. And just to be sure, I went to room 602 in the Montco Services building last night.
The sigh of relief coming from the workers as they closed the door at 8p was the sigh of a job well done by Obama volunteers across MontcoPA!
Word on the street is they have to hire part-time workers and extend overtime to process all of our work. :)
And now the focus turns towards the Primary!
While working registrations over the weekend, a few folks asked me if our goal was to win or simply get as many delegates as we can.
Make no mistake about it, our goal is to win the PA Democratic Primary!
To that end, we need to identify and overcome all constraints leading to the achievement of our goal.
Regional Support will be at our meeting to talk about the constraints they have experienced on the campaign trail, however hinted volunteer recruitment is very important.
Bring a friend to our meeting so we can continue building momentum to win MontcoPA! Once they've been bitten by the excitement of winning and being a part of something good, they'll be thankful you asked them to join our movement.
See your ideas come to life in Region5!

Hello,
I have a personal fundraising page for Barack Obama. My goal is $1,000. It may be a very difficult goal to reach. If Barack Obama has taught me anything though, it is to set a goal and stick to it. To borrow a phrase from Barack, "Yes I can!"
The question is, can you?

Do YOU want to make a difference? NOW is your chance. Wednesday will be too late.
Late yesterday evening. the powers that be posted our achievement - 1 million calls. With greatness comes expectation and as such, a new goal was posted. 1.5 million calls before Tuesday.
We have it all within our grasp. For those who don't say on the news front (it can be distracting) let me assure you that others who will be involved with the caucusing and ground support are really turning up the heat in Texas and Ohio and Rhode Island and Virginia. A knock out of all 4 races is VERY possible.
So two things you can do... when you have a minute.. make a call. Everyone you connect with either by the phone bank army or via your friends by email, phone or in person, encourage them to get involved in the Phone Bank Campaign. If you make 20 calls and you manage to find 3 other people who make only 10 calls each, you've become responsible for 50 calls. It doesn't even matter HOW you find them. If it is someone you call in TX or OH - their help is important on the ground but by the time they catch up with someone in a field office and get busy time is wasted. Suggest to them that they consider making a few calls while waiting for a return call or when the phone bank is open by the daily operations are paused.
Call and Recruit.
And join Barack's Inspired Phone Bank Army - we offer support and orientation and encouragement and fun! Don't do it alone!
There are HUNDREDS of thousands of people on the Barack Obama site - most never pick up the phone for the campaign but every ONE we can get to make just 3 calls is ALOT more.
I just put SEVEN dollars into the RUSSIAN-AMERICANS FOR OBAMA account, even though my wallet told me not to. Will someone please match me? Seven rubels, I mean dollars, in the Russians account will bring us so much closer to our humble goal of 50 big ones!
Saturday February 16 -- made my final decision on 2008, Obama is my man. It's taken a long long time for me to complete this decision, but now that I've seen it ... I'm tempted to get a little hopeful. I've never volunteered for any political candidate in my life, but I've decided to move into action because of how important I see it that Obama is the undisputed nominee.
Just set up a fundraising goal and sent my friends and family. I'm interested to see how political activism within my social network will play out. Everyone supports Obama for the most part, but how many of them can be inspired to feel connected into action? I'll be waiting to see.
My goal of $1000 is modest but if I can raise it, it'll truly make me think what else I can impact. I'm inspired by this campaign, truly, and I hope we can all take that energy into the national race with all the swell and momentum that has brought it to this point. Obama is doing a masterful job being tough but gracious and I respect that tone right now so much.
I'm a young single guy who's never really managed money all that well. I have a decent-paying job, and I can support myself, but I don't have any savings and I ruined my credit when I was still basically a kid (19-21). I recently got a roommate in my apartment, so my expenses went down a bit. Still, I don't have much left from my paycheck by the time the next one comes. So I try to avoid unnecessary expenditures.
Yet, for some reason, I keep contributing money to Barack Obama's campaign. I'm not sure how he's suddenly inspired me to do this. I'd never made a political contribution in my life before this year. Then, shortly after Iowa and the "Yes We Can" speech, I made my first donation online: $25. I have donated about once a week since then - each time, an unplanned, spontaneous gesture. Today was payday, so I just made a $35 donation on my personal fundraising goal page - am I developing a compulsive habit? Should I go to an Obama Contributors Anonymous meeting?
To date, my personal fundraising goal page has raised $210 for the campaig, including my own personal donations. This is 14% of my set goal to raise $1,500. If you're feeling Obama-donating fever, why not help out by making your contribution through my personal fundraising goal page?
Man I'm happy. I can feel a good thing happening. The candidate that I'm backing has a greater and greater chance of winning each day and I'm on board now like I've been since his announcement. I feel like the fan of the sports team that's staging a thrilling comeback and possibly heading to the playoffs.
But I feel like something needs to be stated for the record here. I just heard Shelby Steele on Charlie Rose and I absolutely have to step in here and articulate that my excitement over Obama has everything to do with his message and not his color. Honestly! In fact, the best part about his color is that people are not going to let it prevent them from voting for him.
Ok, this is kinda cool. I don't know if I'm excited about supporting Obama or excited for all the cool tools that are on this site. I think its the earlier, with a splash of the later.
I've setup my own fundraising page, and I hope if you give to the campaign, you help me reach my modest $100 goal. I don't think I've ever given to a presidential campaign, but might as well start now with such a quality candidate (so far that I can see).
