When I saw the story of the Obama Cart and the Johnsons (Bill and Dixie) I thought how great it would be to be part of it but figured that my little town is never a place "on the way" to anywhere. I emailed Bill and he wrote right back that they would be pleased to come through our town. I could not believe it! They were coming here!

Let me tell you about Bill and Dixie. They are down to earth and the sweetest people, "salt of the earth" some may say. Proud Americans. Easy to talk to and ready with a smile and a story. They instantly connected with the people at the event and mingled easily.

Bill and Dixie made me proud to be an Obama supporter. I have been lagging as the campaign drags on. I have always been a supporter and I always will be. But as you are involved with a campaign I have found the rollercoaster ride can make your stomach sick!

These people, Bill and Dixie not only bring the Obama Cart with them, they bring the heart and souls of all die hard Obama supporters with them. The true America that is in them and around them is something to see and feel.

Everyone that was there was so impressed with the journey that these two have decided to take for all of us. The miles and meals on the road, the new people and the attention. I think that what I took away from this visit is that the America we used to know is still here, it is just hidden away from the light. Barack Obama will bring us all back into the light. He will give the people that are willing to hold up the least of us the tools and resources they need to get it done. He will give the least of us a chance to work and feel like there is a tomorrow to look forward to.

The parts of my heart that felt fear have begun to heal, thanks to Bill and Dixie. Two people that ask for nothing but to spread the words of Barack Obama.
