Barack is winning over conservatives in greater numbers than usual.
Christopher Buckley, the son of the late conservative icon William F. Buckley, said Friday he's decided to back Barack Obama's White House bid, the first time in his life he will vote Democrat.
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/10/a-buckley-endorses-obama/
Barack delivered a very strong performance in the last debate.
McCain's V.P. pick of Palin marginalized his chances for the White House leaving the Republican ticket with only Two political tools left, character assassination of Obama and Biden and making promises you cannot keep.
Its time to press our advantage.
Lets seal the deal and deliver real change to the White House.
Lets re-double our efforts to win this race.

Obama/Biden '08 ..... Hope and a new direction !

A Veteran for Obama
Thanks for all you do for Barack, Michelle and Joe.
I received the following from a family member who is a former board member of NOW, the National Organization of Women. I suspect it has been posted somewhere, but I have not yet seen it on the site despite being subscribed to 10 groups. So, at the risk of redundancy:
FYI: The National Organization for Women has endorsed the Obamba-Biden ticket for just the reasons listed below. They usually do not endorse, but in this case believed it was absolutely necessary to take a stand. If you agree, please pass this on.
Subject: Women and Sarah Palin Friends: We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible (?) decision has surpassed mere partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce on the part of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidate that has a real possibility of becoming fact. Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record could lead to for ourselves and for our present or future daughters. To date, she is against sex education, birth control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection, alternative energy development, freedom of speech, gun control, the separation of church and state, and polar bears -- to say nothing of her complete lack of real preparation to become the second-(and possibly first)-most-powerful person on the planet. We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and altogether devastating choice for Vice President. Ms. Palin's political views are in every way a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and from which we've so demonstrably benefited. First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to disagree, publicly. If you agree that Palin is an irresponsible, even dangerous, choice for VP, please consider participating in this drive. Gentlemen, send this to the women you know and care for. I know it's tough to understand the way this choice is impacting women, but I have never seen so many women so outraged, angry and distraught in my entire life. We'd like our voices heard. If you agree, PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY! If you send this to 20 women in the next hour, you could be blessed with a country that takes your concerns? Seriously. Stranger things have happened.

Has anyone ordered and received propaganda material from the Obama Store?
I placed my order on Sept 15th - no signs of it as yet and the store still says 'Processing'
Barack Obama has long championed a tax plan that eases financial strain on the lower and middle classes—the majority of Americans—and increases taxes for those who can afford it: the very wealthy. John McCain, at the same time, has claimed that he, too, wants to help the average American family, and will cut taxes across the board.So what’s the deal?Well, WashingtonPost.com recently created a graphic (you can find it at http://tinyurl.com/5s4l7j) that illustrates just how the candidates’ plans stack up against one another. Check it out—the numbers speak very clearly for themselves.
The side-by-side comparison makes it clear why the ultra-rich support McCain, and why the majority of Americans should support Obama. The tax cuts provided to 60% of Americans are strikingly different in the Obama and McCain tax proposals: Obama will cut most Americans’ taxes by several percentage points, while McCain only reduces their taxes by fractions of a percent.The winners in McCain’s tax proposal? The super-rich millionaires who, when you get right down to it, don’t really need a tax break at all, much less a $701,885 one.The winners in Obama’s tax plan? The majority of the American people: People with regular jobs and regular expenses, who need those tax reductions the most.***In other great news—yes, as one of the aforementioned 60% of Americans, I think Obama’s tax plan is great news—today the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) has endorsed Obama as their presidential candidate of choice.In a press release (found at www.now.org/press/09-08/09-16.html), NOW PAC Chair Kim Gandy lists several issues relating to women that Obama has strongly supported, including pay equity, reproductive rights and the prevention of violence against women. The press release further notes that Joe Biden was a leading sponsor of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which directs domestic and worldwide efforts to protect women and girls. Incidentally, John McCain, who has made clear through many of his policies that he does not like women and girls, opposed VAWA. Thanks John!*** Two more reasons to support Obama and Biden—Happy Tuesday!
Today several women's rights organizations came out in support for Obama, proving that these women do have brains and know how to use them. They are not being fooled by the Republicans' token offering of Sarah Palin to try and capture the female vote. Sarah Palin is nothing like me, she is nothing like the women from NOW, the Feminist Majority Foundation and Women's Information Network
Sarah Palin:
Doesn't support a woman's right to chooseSupports teaching abstinence only sex education in schoolsCard carrying member of the NRACovering up her involvement in Troopergate Asked for and got earmarks for Alaska as Governor
She make look innocuous enough on the surface, but she is not qualified for the position of Vice President of the United States, unless being disingenuous and obfuscating the truth qualify you for the job.

Good on them. Brief recap on some of Obama's positions on women's issues? He's pro-choice, supportive of stem cell research and wants to place more emphasis on preventing unwanted pregnancies. And let's not forget that his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, drafted the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) - which McCain opposed.
Good Morning!
Today The National Organization For Women released word that they will formally endorse Senator Obama! Kim Gandy, Head of NOW, said the Republican choice of Palin as VP had pushed them to make the decision. She said,
"She (Palin) is being portrayed as a supporter of women's rights ... as a feminist when in fact her positions on so many of the issues are really anathema to ours,"

John McCain said, recently, that he is "not in favor of privatizing Social Securty... I never have, and never will..."
But in 2004, he said that he believed that "I just can't see how we can avoid privatizing Social Security."

Check it out. Use it in an OBama ad, if possible. Also, this might be a good candiate for "Fight the Smears." The video is just precious.
It is the time Obama has to maintain his composure despite provocations from opponents.
Don't get involved in trifle matters and divert your attention and time.They are trying to kill your time.
Adhere to your original strategy and talk on issues.Don't get influenced even by Democratic memebrs some of whome are your anties.
Beaware of Mrs.Clinton.
In short don't get provoked.You are known as truthful and peaceful man and you should continue to enhance that image.
Don't give any importance to Palin.She is using her glamour.Don't get glamourised.
Keep doing as per your own inner voice as you were doing.
SUCCESS IS YOURS.YOU HAVE PROVED AND MUST PROVE AGAIN.KEEP IT UP.WE ARE BEHIND YOU.
DO YOU HONESTLY WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY HOUSES HE OWNS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY?
People, NOW IS OUR MOMENT to make a difference to turn things around for the better in this country. But first, we have to turn things around for the better in Washington. Obama: - Wants to restore our middle class - Bring us out of Iraq and keep us out - Restore our economy - Make tax cuts - Biden is experienced in Foreign Politics and Defense which is exactly what we need. - Obama wiill bring CHANGE Please, restore this country to what it was before the reign of Bush. Bush is a McCain supporter... Compare what McCain will do to what Bush has done... there is no difference at all.. The United States can not handle another 4 years of this. Make a difference vote OBAMA BIDEN 08!

After listening to Barack's Democratic Convention acceptance speech and message to the masses, if now is not the time, then I believe we will never have a chance to change our country and world. A time may come again, years later. But, we must take advantage of the opportunity of the energy, ideas and spirit involved in this historic campaign for the leadership of our country.
When has the last time this country felt so moved and inspired to be a part of such a movement?
When was the last time that you felt moved to work to take back politics in your local community, and national politics?
Are you saying too, "The time is now!"
Is your twelve year old daughter, or your elderly neighbor saying the same thing while you engage in political conversations?
As our children, the youth are moved by this campaign, let us think of them and empower their involvement and happiness as they view the Obama's on television, or listen to them speak at local rallies.
The time is now, for them just as much as it is for we adults.
Let us be encouraged and strengthened by his speech delivered on the 45th anniversary of MLK's "I Have A Dream Speech."
The time is now, and we will understand and benefit from acting on this in the days to come.

Below is a note I sent to the campaign on the eve of Barack's nomination speech in Denver. It will probably will get lost in the magnitude of feedback this site gets.
But perhaps others will resonate with its respectfully simple suggestion.

100% for Obama/Biden But... Let's Keep It Honest Too. One Example with Solution.
I understand the need to emphasize certain things about one side or the other, pros and cons, etc. but it always disappoints me when exaggeration or omissions show up in ads or speeches. Regardless which campaign does it.And especially mine (ours :)So here is a recent example where the truth could have been included without excluding the point:Biden made the point that McCain voted "95%" of the time with Bush. Only partially true: that applied for one year out of the last 8. The fact is that he went as low as +/- 77%.Biden could have said that he had voted an average of more than 85% (or whatever the exact average is).I check Politifacts and Factcheck and other sources, so do other.Why I am sensitive to (and/or pontificating on) this? Not only because I am like most voters, but I also did some spec speech work for Kerry in 2004. And my father wrote speeches for Democratic Senator and Presidential candidate Estes Kefauver in the 50s.Kefauver was a very honest man and probably not "political" enough and this may have been one of the reasons he didn't win.But this is 2008 and an historic moment for all of us.Elegance and power, honesty and persuasion, humility and conviction -- NONE of these are mutually exclusive.Applying those more IS part of the change we can believe in.Joe and Barack have strong moral, ethical and honor centers within them. PLEASE find a way to be more accurate yet still be effective in all future speeches and ads.Sincerely,Philip S. Knight

Continue working towards progress instead of perfection.
Nothing or no no one is perfect.

Complete every task.
Keep every promise and commitment.
Don't look back.
Let no one weaken your walk of faith and determination.
Remain teachable.
Place yourself in a blessing position by associating with people on-the-grow.
Talk with teachers.
Walk with winners.
Climb with champions.
Study successful people.
Something great is about to happen for you!
Start giving thanks right now before you can even see the outward manisfestation of your prayers and desires.
Everything you do from this day forward will take you further away or closer to your potential for successful living.

But dancing has moved on. (a more modern color picture of dancing)
There was a time when we only had fans. (black/white picture of people sweating with fans)
But air conditioners has moved us on (color picture of people being comfortable with a/c)
There was a time when gas cost a little over a dollar. (color picture of people paying less for gas)
But big oil has moved on (a picture of John McCain with the words of Big Oil donations underneath)
There was a time when there was peace and prosperity. (a picture of carefree good times)
But an unnecassary war has moved us on (a color picture of the Iraq war)
Now we have the chance to stay in the past (picture of John McCain and Bush)
are we have the chance for a change (picture of Obama with a group of different races, smiling)
I'm sharping my video skills and planning to put this message on my blog spot (www.chamay0.blogspot.com). It will take me a while since I am still in my infancy with this topic but I'll get it out before November.
