Click on that and learn about the Next Generation of Leaders Barack Obama talked about.
Omar Dyer was recently on a radio station promoting a job fair for NP and SBA in New Jersey.

Omar Dyer is the onlu candidate that has a real chance for an independant to win. The media is not talking about him and will not give this young kid a chance to change politics for the better.

Change happens because the American people demand it. Because they rise up and insist on new leadership and new ideas, a new politics for a new time. - Sen. Barack Obama
Six days until the election - six days to join us in making history. This isn't the time to let up and rest on our laurels, it's the time to push forward to victory. This is what happens if we get complacent:
Don't trust the polls. We need to push through the finish line.
Sign up now to help us fight for every last vote.
Make calls with us, knock on doors with us, help out in your local office, bring food to volunteers and staff, house a volunteer, make calls from home, put Obama flyers around your town... whatever you can do our staff can help you with.
This is our time.
It has taken several months of dialog, but my Mother now sends my the "scare tactic" emails that she gets from her friends and alows me to do research on them and give her another point of view. I don't know if she will vote for Obama, I just don't want her to live her life in fear of her President.
It is always interesting how conversations turn in topic, taking you places where you didn't expect to go.
Last night I was sitting in my kitchen with my wife, and as I was opening a bottle of wine, she asked me to explain the bailout to her. She said that she has been hearing so much from so many people, almost all of it in panic, and wanted my explanation of what the hell is happening.
"And keep it short, I don't want one of your two-hour explanations!" she said, smiling.
Two hours later, we had finished a completely different conversation.
I've gathered some information that should help us fight back the smears and the lies. I agree that Obama needs to stay above the fray and keep the message on the economy. It's surrogates and supporters like us who have to fight back. We have come to far and worked to hard canvassing, phone calling, registering voters, convincing and informing undecideds, etc. for it to all go the way side like Kerry in 2004. We cannot afford another 4 years of the last eight. time is drawing close and we need this win. Fight back with truth. mccain and palin have allot of political skeletons that need to be forced out of the MSM closet. I've gathered some info, if you have more please share.

I watched the debates tonight. I, like so many other Obama supporters, was pleased with his performance. Post-debate debating is not my style. There are others who are much better at that than I am. Still, something formerly "un-crystalized" labeled itself for me tonight.
I have been trying to figure out why the man comedian Chris Rock defined as "the guy with one house" is so often tagged as an elitist and an unknown quantity. I don't know why his resume is so easily forgotten and his passion for people--his facility with candid, unrehearsed conversation--seems over the head of some people in the press. He has been on message from the start, and he is accused of flip flopping. He is mocked for being smart. He has worked with the poor, but his hands aren't dirty enough. He's too black for rural white folks, too white for urban black folks, too educated for "joe six-pack," too mean and arrogant, too nice and gentlemanly...
What are some people looking for that they have not seen? I see a real, confident, and consistent guy. I see a man who cares about people. I see a person who clearly respects women if his choice of a mate is any indication. I see a man of judgement and clear leadership capabilities. I see a man who is not afraid to tell the truth as he sees it. I see a man who looks you in the eye and weighs outcomes, is reasonable and intelligent.
What are people who mockingly call him "the professor" or "unconnected" and "out of touch" missing?
Then it hit me. It's not that they are missing something. It is that they are SEEING something that they don't recognize, so they have mislabeled it and mishandled the man in the process. In all fairness to them, they don't recognize it because they haven't seen it in a very long time. It has become a faint memory in American politics, and in too many day to day lives.
It is DIGNITY.
Barack Obama has refused to dumb himself down in the face of people who mock his Harvard education because it is a part of who he is as much as his upbringing with a single mother. He is not going to pander to lazy observers who are waiting for all the buzz words and pat answers. He's going to give fresh, well-thought out responses to their questions and make them think; something that is fast becoming an annoyance in our culture. He has said more on race--and on his race--than any candidate in history. But he has the wisdom not to let himself be defined as simply "the black guy running for president," or the president of black America, blue-state America, or pro-choice America.
He is not "proud." He is dignified. He manages to appreciate and express all that he is, not just what will impress others. He is a man with struggles and stories, and hardships. Dignity has taught him that they are too precious to be peddled for votes, but he has talked about them. I know about them.
If you don't know him, you haven't been looking at him, his family, his record, or taken him at his word. If you don't trust him, it might be because he is challenging your assumptions or your long-held beliefs. If you think he's weak, I am certain it is because you only know one way to fight and he is pushing back at your imagination.
He is not a pugilist, looking for a cut to exploit or willing to win by any means necessary. That is yesterday's game. That is yesterday's leader.
It was clear to me that Barack Obama was in a contest tonight. But his weapons were reason and rational thought. His emotion was firmly rooted in his convictions and understanding, and not in temperament and snarky disrespect.
Obama is not a bully. That fact alone speaks volumes. America's greatness was once imbedded in the power of her example. Today it has been reduced to brandishing examples of her power.
Patriotism should not always drive us to war. Passion is not always expressed in bluster. Politicians are not always leaders. And great leaders do not always carry a big stick. Ask Ghandi, Lincoln, Mother Teresa, MLK Jr., Bono, and Mattie Stepanek. Ask Barack Obama.
Barack Obama was the cooler head, the reasonable debater, the communicator, the resonant. He didn't sneer. He managed to prevail without personalizing the conflict or disrespecting his opponent.
I heard one commentator say, with some disdain it seemed, that Obama appeared "above it all." Is it possible that he was actually engaged in the right kind of "fight" finally?
Has anyone considered that for too many years, American politics has been "below it all"?
To My Friends and Family--some of whom are freaking out or undecided or worried
Lately I’ve been struggling to bear the turn things have taken in the presidential campaign. Every time someone wants to talk to me about how horrible it is, show me more evidence of the terror in the polls, the lies of all kinds, tricks to forestall young and minority voters, I feel like a nail is pounded deeper into my heart. It’s been a long haul. I’m tired and crabby, and I only started volunteering in January. There are people who have been giving their hearts for 19 months.
So I have something to say. We are only weeks away from election day. We still have a brilliant tough strategic unblinking candidate with a vice presidential partner who can hold his own with anyone. (Let me know if you want to hear my story of listening to Joe Biden at a women’s economic round table discussion in Denver or excerpts from his biography).
I wonder why we seem surprised at the turn things have taken.
read Marjorie Larner's full essay here
Marjorie Larner is a writer and educator and co-chairs a team of volunteers for Obama '08. She is also my oldest and dearest friend.
The Republicans are up to their old, dirty tricks again. Not that they've ever stopped. Consider this: John McCain and the GOP don't give a flying hoot about this country. For all their rhetoric --"national security," the "war against terrorism," conflation of Iraq and 9/11, talk about being experienced on day one to be commander in chief -- they nominate a profoundly inexperienced woman as their vice presidential pick. It shows their rhetoric is sheer malarkey -- how can they consider nominating a woman like that to be a hearbeat away from the presidency? All they care about is trying to maneuver to win the election.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Senators Obama and Biden -- PLEASE speak out forcefully about this travesty. We Democrats are inclusive and kind by ideology and nature, but we must put that aside in the interest of enabling our inclusiveness and kindness. Only election success can empower you to implement the sane and humanistic public policy we so desperately need. I'M PETRIFIED that you are risking the mistakes of Dukakis in '88 and Kerry in '04.
Bottom line -- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE shed the kid gloves to unencumber the innate strength and compassion of Democratic hands.
I would love to hear Obama use this phrase over and over again, at every event and speaking opportunity. Let them eat cake, Obama should stand his ground. Make this our new battle cry.
McCain campaign is nothing but a lipstick on a pig.
Let's use their tactics against them.
Please repeat "Lipstick on a pig" at every speaking chance you get! Drive the point home, get the McCain-Rove camp a taste of their own medicine.
This will unify the Democratic base, it will help drive the point home that you are not backing down and that we have a backbone. The media will eat it up, and will actually become your trump card.
Use a bit of in-your-face attitude. "Yes, I said that, and I will say it again, "Lip stick on a pig" is what the McCain camp is all about these days when it comes to their policy."
Lipstick on a pig is not an insult to women, but it shows how Obama will stand up for his beliefs. NEVER EVER backdown.
Out-bully the bullies.
First of all the American people are NOT SMART... so you can kill that crap. Its a pompus way to think, Come on Obama you have travel all around this country but talking to people who already support you, don't just drink that water.. You need to get out there talk to those people who DO NOT support you, and look at the reasons.. its because of ignorance or because they do not understand you.. YOUR TALKING OVER THEIR HEADS..
YOU GOT TO DUMB DOWN YOUR MESSAGE SO EVERYONE GET ITS.. YOU ALSO NEED TO CALL THE BASTARDS OUT ON THE LIES .. THEY ARE LYING.. there is no way around this. This taking the HIGH ROAD , you can NOT do that with SLIME.
They are making this election into a MUDDY WATER CAMPAIGN FULL OF DISTRACTIONS , no issues. This is turning into a nightmare with everyday, KEEP SAYING JOHN MCCAIN voted with George Bush 90% of the time.. OK WE GOT THAT ALREADY. YOU GUYS HAVE SAID THAT .... .. Now you got to tell us about the LIES, FLIP FLOPPING ON HIS OWN WORDS OF RUNNING AN HONORABLE CAMPAIGN, NOW THEY ARE IN FULL FORCE KARL ROVIAN DIVIDE AND CONQUER .. they are going to divide the country to win this election..
GET UP AND FIGHT BACK.. THIS HIGH ROAD CRAP WORKED IN THE PRIMARIES BUT NOW YOUR IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, AND THE FAR RIGHT WING IS ENERGIZED, AND THE INDEPENDANTS ARE DUMB WILL GO WITH THE POLLS..
I am so discouraged, I am going to bed.. This is the farest right ticket to run for office , its worse that George Bush, and it looks like we are about to elect that back in again based on BS. I can not believe the O campaign is allowing this shit to happen.
Here is what I sent out already today!
E-mail: Obama Daily Fact: Barack Obama will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on Obama's long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.
