Tomorrow will be my second day canvassing during the general election campaign. I did do a bit of canvassing in Baltimore before the primary, but that was pretty friendly territory. I first canvassed for the general election last Saturday in Norristown, PA, a Philadelphia suburb. It was exciting seeing how much support Obama has in these white neighborhoods that most years are flooded mainly with signs for the republican candidate. The volunteers I canvassed with were amazing people, and I enjoyed the whole thing immensely.
Also, on Wednesday night I ordered some "dope gear" from the Obama store - about 50 buttons, a yard sign, and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Can't wait to get it!! Hope it comes before election day...
I placed an order from the Runway for Change Merchandise as soon as it came out. I loved what the designers have done. I can't wait to get it. Has anyone ordered it and received it yet?
I'm a student for the Fashion Instiute of Technology so I can't wait to wear my designer support gear to get some students motivated and maybe have them buy some stuff too.
I know the website says 1-2 weeks but its almost two weeks and it still says processing.
Let's be very clear about what's at stake this November. We're either going to get ourselves back on track or we're gong to face another round of the same failed policies we've had for the last eight years.
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a change. That's why I'm so excited about Senator Barack Obama.
So, here's what I want you to do. Click Here, and join me in making a contribution to elect Senator Obama this November. With the support of hundreds of Democrats across the nation, I have already raised $4,400! I still need to raise $500 more to reach my fundraising goal.
I believe we're about to elect one of the greatest presidents in a long time -- Barack Obama. But if his campaign is not funded until Election Day, his agenda to help middle-class families is going to run into a roadblock.

I know that politicians are constantly asking for your money and support. But you have to remember that Senator Obama is not a career politician. He's a man who knows what America needs are and knows what he's fighting for. And, with our help, he'll be a President we can be proud of.
Midnight Tuesday, September 30th, is the financial reporting deadline for this month. The resources we have on hand going into October will determine our ability to compete in key battleground states. Your donation today will help fund time-sensitive voter registration and Get Out The Vote operations.

I knew Democrats would give generously to my personal fundraising page on BarackObama.com to help me reach $5,000 fundraising goal and my efforts to elect Barack Obama as our next President. I am truly astonished by the response I've had over the last few month. With one month left to reach my fundraising goal, I still need to raise $1,000 more.
I'm not much of a blogger so I haven't before now. Kind of late in the game.
What I want to tell everyone about is the great music collection I bought here at the Obama store. It is called "Yes We Can" voices of a grassroots movement. Since I have an iPhone and wanted immediate gratification I bought the downloaded version. Yes, it does "Barack" my World. You can get it here and it is a great way to donate as well as rock out.

Hey all. I am trying to come up with a cool poster design for the younger crowd. I came up with this, what do you all think?
Added some more items to the Battle of the Presidential Web Stores page: Product usage comparisons (Obama store provides more information on average), Some price comparisons (McCain store more expensive on average), some traffic and search engine comparisons (Obama store getting higher traffic, inlinks mixed), and more...
Chapter 1:
I had always loved the days when my grandchildren would visit. We would laugh and play games, and they would ask me questions of what America was like before the Honorable Coalition. I suspect my children carried on the lessons I taught them, but they are intelligent enough not to speak of it too openly. It was on that day, I believe, that justice finally regained its foothold in America.
“Then what happened grandpa?” Ahh, Myeena, my granddaughter. She’s a bright girl, fluent in numerous languages, math, history, and all the things a person should know. She reads books with a vigor I could have only dreamed of. Things were so much different back then.
“Well, after President Moaba was elected the Moral Coalition unleashed itself. There leaders convinced them that Moaba had blocked God’s will and that McWalker, as the Shrubb’s delegate, was the true leader of the States. In reality, they were far too irrational to allow a Democrat in office, especially an urban one.”
“And for good reason, urban people are degenerate and criminal.”
“No, Harold,” Myeena said. “I’ve snuck down into the city. Most of the people down there are just like us. We’re only shown the ones we’re meant to see. Grandpa, what is a deh mocrat?”
“A Democrat?” I forgot, partisanship is gone… “Before 2013 America had more parties than just the Moral Coalition. The Democrats were there biggest, and really there only meaningful opponent. The Democrats actually had a larger party. And more of the country agreed with the core of their message. But, that just goes to show you what happens when people become inactive and complacent.”
“But the Shrubb family has Heaven’s Mandate,” Harold said. “Who would oppose God’s favor?”
“God’s favor is not to murderers and oppressors! Heaven is not a place of starvation and desolation! GOD…”
“I’m sorry Grandpa. Did I say something wrong?”
“No, Harold. I’m afraid you are still too young to understand. The world is not always as it seems, people’s actions speak much louder than what they and other people say about them. When I was your age religion wasn’t apart of public office. Most people were religious, but policy wasn’t dictated by the Bible. God was a matter better left to the self before the Faith-Based America Initiative.”
“But what did you do about the unholy ones?”
“There was a time, Myeena, when it was okay to express opposition to policy. People who thought differently were allowed to express their opinions freely, without fear of persecution. You know, I was one of the Forgiven?”
“Really, From the insurgency?”
“No. We were never the insurgency. The people who now control our government were the ones who started the violence. They were the ones who lined people up and shot them in the streets.
We all knew what would happen if Heichdub Shrubb’s presidential recall was allowed to happen. But they had the country in a vice. We knew the war would escalate on a massive scale. We tried to warn the people of the coming Tyranny but, they trumped us on Moral Values. But, the values these people practice are anything but moral.”
“Why not grandpa?”
“Because they believe in keeping people down. They separate us in order to divert our ability to stand up for ourselves. The so-called Unholy, those of us that didn’t agree with them, were just the same as everyone else. Every side was allowed their argument. And that is exactly what they didn’t like.
The problem they faced was that their arguments just didn’t hold up to scrutiny. It takes a substantial amount of dishonesty to believe greed is good. No, in those days one wasn’t defective for being against the War. It is wrong to kill innocent people children. I want you to remember that.”
“What if they are Soddomists? Soddomists are against the Father and seek to uproot the foundation of our society.” Harold, I feared, would go far in this government.
“The various types of people vilified by the administration as “Unholy” are just tools used by the government to keep your attention off of their lack of leadership. No matter what anyone tells you, it is not Unholy to disagree – we used to call that freedom.”
“Grandpa, my teachers say you are a sinner and that God looks down on you. They say I shouldn’t visit you anymore, that you’re deceiving us about the past.”
“Do you believe that Myeena? I will say this… I would never lie to you. But, if you were to repeat much of what I say, they would most certainly submit you to Community Cleansing. They call me a sinner so that nobody listens to me. But I tell you what I tell you because history must be preserved. At some point, an administration will get cocky. When that happens the people must be united. But until then, it is probably best to take small steps toward a better world.”
“Grandpa, we have to go back to Mom’s now. Are you coming out for dinner?”
“Yes, Harold. I would never miss it. Bye Harold, bye Myeena.”
“Bye Grandpa.”
As they left I could see the hope of the world travelling with them. Most of today’s youth see nothing past their own self-righteousness and the values fed to them by their overlords. After WOLF Media was given control of the Communications Commission, community was tossed out the window for support of the Grand Ol’ Party. Reality died sometime at the end of the last century.
Everybody knew what would happen, the signs were clear. An elitist son of an elitist president was given the office. Then, in a truly Machiavellian way, he uses an unexpected attack to march the country off to war. It was a story often repeated throughout history. We could have told you forty years ago we would be attacked again, the war would escalate, rationing would start, and then they would come for the dissenters. How many times must this happen before people get wise to it?
Nobody cares anymore. They are too caught up in their own existence to think about the state of the world. And why not? Every few years “terrorists” mysteriously attack somewhere, or let off some disease… Why bother? I’m going outside, I can still enjoy that.
I don’t know why I come out here though. You never see a blue sky anymore. It’s either raining, or it looks like it will. Why does nobody care? They know what is happening?
No, people just want to go about their lives. They want to do whatever work will give them just enough not to starve. The people don’t care about their situation anymore? No one has bought a new car in this neighborhood in twenty years. And the few who have bought new, used cars can barely afford the gas to get anywhere. It is not uncommon to see someone drive halfway to work and walk the rest. I remember when a cheeseburger only cost four dollars. Hell, I remember when it was only a dollar, and pennies were actually used occasionally. Now the dollar has become the penny, and the amero is worthless.
Here comes Jimmy. That kid is infatuated with the Coalition. He believes they are the savior of the world, and that everything is exactly as it should be with them in charge.
“Good morning old man! Beautiful day isn’t it?”
“A beautiful day, Jimmy, is when the sun is shining and the clouds are white, puffy, few, and far-between.”
“I disagree, sir. The sun has over fifty thousand carcinogens. And the rain was sent by the Father to wash us of our sins.”
“Yes Jimmy. But the sun gives life to almost everything on this planet. And though it has hazards, it is no more dangerous than anything else.”
“It is only through faith in the Father that things are allowed to survive on this planet.”
“But you will die one day. Is that because you lost your faith?”
“No, but that is why we must use what is available to us while we are here. What the Father has provided our leadership with will be used as it is needed.”
“Would God really want us to destroy his creation? People are sick because of all this pollution, and a lot of them are dying. The land is spoiled, the air is dirty, and the water is almost unfit to drink. If you care about God, shouldn’t you take care of his kingdom?”
“Father Carlson tells us that we are to subdue the Earth and have dominion over it, according to Genesis 1:28.”
“And that same passage also says to replenish it and be fruitful. You must not rely on your pastor to tell you what passages to read. A good ruler takes care of his domain. He doesn’t just use it for his own benefit.”
“You are crazy old man. They’re going to cleanse you one day.”
“No Jimmy. As long as people see me as crazy for expressing my own beliefs and educating myself, they will never cleanse me. If I am seen as deranged and unclean, they will keep me around as an example.”
“But you’re a Forgiven. You were a senior member of the Devil’s Uprising. You have disgraced the lord.”
“Why? Because I don’t believe the elite should be allowed to rape and pillage the Earth and its people? That makes me crazy to you? I don’t believe we should kill innocent people who don’t agree with the leadership and that makes me deranged? It is you and this society that is deranged, young one.”
“But our leaders bring God’s gift to the world. To go against them is to reject the Lord himself.”
“Have you ever read the Bible Jimmy?”
“I go to church every Sunday.”
“If you ever decide to read it… and I mean read it for yourself… you will find that it says to beware the prophets. Those who claim to bring God’s will are not necessarily his servants.”
“Surely if you pronounce HIS GLORY in the streets, and give alms as the Leaders do, God will give you favor.”
“The small alms they give were beaten off the backs of the people, and they have used every dirty trick they could to gain them. People starve because of your leaders. And the voice they could use to proclaim God’s glory is taken from them. God sees through a man’s false concepts about himself. He sees into your soul, your reality, and the contributions you have made to further His Kingdom. God is not affected by your illusions; He grants forgiveness to those who deserve it. Asking is not enough. “
“Then how does he decide who deserves it?”
“If a man slaps another man, apologizes for it, then walks down the road and slaps another, does he deserve forgiveness? If he takes your food, eats enough to fill his gut, puts the leftovers in his pouch for later, and hives you the scraps, does he deserve to be rewarded for his generosity?”
“Uhh…”
“If YOU would forgive this man, you would gain God’s forgiveness. If you were to also give him your coat and a ride home, you would gain God’s favor. Anybody can proclaim God’s Glory, even the Devil. But Satan will never return to Heaven because his actions do not show any true faith.”
“You have a weird outlook, old man. All I know is, our leaders show moral convictions and serve God’s will. That is the truth.”
“If you want to continue believing that, I can’t stop you. You could go far with that attitude Jimmy. The way you mold reality to suit your own benefit and your fervent support of the Leadership may one day get you a good job with the government.” But, in the end he will have nothing to show for it, other than a few smiles and a pat on the back. As I began rolling a smoke I got that feeling…
“You believe me to believe your thoughts on God and yet you smoke?”
“As I said before, how you treat God’s creation is the key to your salvation. You can follow the leadership, believe in God with all of your heart, and go to church every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday, but it still isn’t enough.”
“Aren’t you a part of His creation? Shouldn’t you take care of yourself?”
“Yes, but it all depends. Besides, that is my choice. Is it better to take care of the world around you, or yourself? As long as you give what you have to further the advancement of this world, you are in the clear. As the Gospels say, it is not what you take in that makes you a sinner; it is what come out of you that judges your fate. A heroin addict who constantly treats people with kindness, generosity, and respect will find himself in heaven long before a clean-cut man who does not.
I smoke the Ja. It helps to refine my world-view. It calms my soul and helps me look at the world objectively. What good am I if I follow what I am told, with no objections, even if I know it is wrong?”
“But the Shrubbs were given Heaven’s Mandate! To object to them is to object to God.”
“Who gave them Heaven’s Mandate?”
“The people. They gave them the mandate in the recall.”
“Don’t you realize no one knows, nor do they care how the votes are counted, and who is doing it?” Talk to people; they don’t like their situation. But, the national media portrays the country as if EVERYBODY is happy. How many of those people do you ever meet, other than yourself? But, the media portrays US as if we’re the minority.”
“How can you say that? Everyone has to sacrifice in support of our troops.”
“What have the elite sacrificed? Where is their contribution?”
“They have to keep their money for investment.”
“This is why I like you Jimmy. You make me have to defend every word I say. It keeps me on my toes...” I took a long drag off my smoke and could see that something had just set in with him. I don’t know what it was but, he appeared from then on to be in deep thought. Good! With his ability to analyze, he just may be able to realize that he doesn’t have to live this way.
“When the insurgency started… Why did you oppose Heaven’s Mandate?”
“It was not God who gave the Shrubbs a mandate, Jimmy. It was the media. WOLF would criticize their opponents until the rest of our news was forced to be supportive of the Moral Coalition. The “insurgency” was nothing more than people who wanted to live in a world of truth and reason. We saw the oppression and elitism behind the message. And we saw their lack of caring for the people dying for their benefits.”
“I’m going to end up just as crazy as you if I keep talking to you old man. Tell me, how do you keep yourself so fit when most people your age are hunched over and losing their memory?”
“I eat well, exercise, and avoid vitamins and medications that I don’t need. Keep yourself in shape, calm your mind, take less medicine, and have balance in your diet and you will maintain your health.”
“But only the Son could heal without medicine.”
“No Jimmy, disease may be the problem. But it cannot survive in a healthy environment with a strong immune system. You only need medicine to assist your body in what it does for you naturally.”
As my spliff burned halfway down I caught that “thinking” look in Jimmy’s eyes. “You know, President Shrubb received the most votes of all time in his reelection. How do you explain that?”
“He also received the most votes against him. And how many of those votes he actually won remains a debate. There were massive accounts of voter fraud across the Nation. They intimidated poor and minority voters. They threw out at least 3% of the vote as inconclusive. Even if the vote was correct, and he did win, it doesn’t matter. His entire first presidency was a campaign of deceit. They used the concept of morality because they know the under-educated members of society will put their morals above all rationing and reasoning. All they have to judge themselves on is if they stood up for their principles.
A lot of America has always been deeply religious. To those who have not learned of, and even those who don’t like reason, rationality, and objectiveness, the Church was their salvation. Most inherently want to be good people, and religion helps them focus that. The problem is, most have neither read the Good Book nor any other religious texts of the world. The message of forgiveness, kindness, generosity, and humbleness has been lost in favor of dogma. The brotherhood of man has been separated by labels and established religions.
So, what they did was take seemingly immoral and important issues, like homosexuality, and wedged them into their campaigns to trump the fact that the nation was slipping into poverty and the war was escalating. And people bought it.”
“So you’re saying abortion isn’t wrong?”
No, I am saying it is our place to love the sinner, and hate the sin. If you disagree with it, don’t do it. As long as it doesn’t harm anyone else, it is not your business. I believe people should raise their own children. And if they can’t do that, they should find someone competent who can. But the whole issue is designed to take your mind off the fact that your country is being destroyed.”
“I see quite a few content people out here. If what you say is true, that wouldn’t be the case.”
“That’s the point Jimmy. They are content. With no standards of comparison, they have no idea what kind of life they could have.
What has this regime brought us? Are the United Mid-Asian Territories any better off than they were 40 years ago? All we did was implement even more oppressive regimes that murder in our name, instead of their own.”
“The Terrorists declared war on civilization on 9/11! How can you support the ruthless barbarians who killed our fellow citizens?”
“Come on now Jimmy. Why would I support murderers? But Al Qeada has been all but forgotten. No, they used…”
“Who is Al Kaida?”
“They were the ruthless barbarians. They were Islamic fundamentalists opposed to America’s dealings in the Middle East. But, terrorism quickly became a general term for anyone opposed to American expansion. When they created the PATRIOT ACT they defined terrorism as any kind of politically motivated crime.”
“Well, of course. The Unholy can’t just run around and disgrace the Father. We can only serve His will by stopping those who do harm to our society and showing those who would do it why they should not. Isn’t that why we have laws in the first place?”
Good point. “But where do you draw the line between God and the Shrubbs. One is your leader, and one is a false idol.”
That one hit him hard.
There is no line to this generation. They have never had to think about it. All they know is that the terrorists want to kill us, anybody could be a terrorist, and only God’s Mandate, and President Cory Shrubb can protect us until His return! When that is all you have what else do you need to know?
“Let me ask you this Jimmy. Is it worth taking a man’s life for murdering innocent people?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Is it worth killing a man who said we shouldn’t kill the man who killed a man?”
“What?”
“Should you kill someone who has voiced their opposition to killing a murderer?”
“Of course.”
“Why?”
“His mind has deceived him. If he doesn’t believe killers should be killed, he is unclean.”
“Then what about the executioner? Isn’t he now a killer?”
“No, he kills in the name of God.”
“But though shalt not murder is the word of God.”
“But what about murderers?”
“And the man asked Jesus how many times should he forgive his brother, and the Christ replied 40 and 100 times, and 1000 times after that.”
“Then what is your suggestion?”
It depends. If he truly is crazy, and kills for the sake of killing, if there is nothing that can stop him, he should be kept away; left in a personal, secluded environment, in the care of well-trained individuals.”
“And if he’s not crazy. If he just killed someone…”
“You know as well as I do where to draw the line. But we probably differ on where that should be.”
“So then, where do we draw the line?”
“It’s a matter better left for the majority to decide. That is what democracy is supposed to be about. Certain rules are laid out beforehand, and when a nuance arises, the issue is voted upon.”
“I would think the majority agrees with the Shrubbs, that is why they vote for them.”
“Do they? Or do they just think everyone else does? Is it so hard to believe that what you think you know could be wrong? The Education Czar is the former CEO of WOLF Media; the new CEO is the former National Security Advisor, Reese Condor. The Secretary of Energy used to be on the board of three different energy companies.”
“No, there are checks and balances.”
“Who speaks for the people’s rights when the congress and Supreme Court are all in-line with the President?”
“Aw come on, they fight for our rights every day. Why are you so unpatriotic?”
“What rights do they fight for?”
“They fight for our right to security. They keep the evildoers from allowing sin into the world. Conquer sin and all other Rights are automatic.”
“Have they really protected us when we get hit every other year?” And anyway, what about our rights to equality and the pursuit of happiness? Do you really think it is a right to oppress the poor, the colored, and those who stand up for them?”
“They are Unholy.”
“Do you really believe that?”
“It is immoral and wrong. They are trying to uproot the fabric of our society. They’re all criminals and sexual deviants, and that’s against the Father!”
“What if I phrased it like this; they’ve been placed in a situation where it is worse to steal off one man than it is to steal off a thousand. On top of that, access is money, and money is power. They have no money, no access, and no power. They can’t find a way to rise up, so they steal. They have nothing to bide their time, nothing that gives them enjoyment, so they rely on the quick release that sex and drugs give them.”
“But, it is still not right.”
“Be that as it may, destroy the hardship and complacency, and you will begin to destroy the sin. Take care young man. It is going to be a long week.”
As I walked away I wondered which side Jimmy would find himself on in the weeks ahead. A great storm was brewing on the horizon. A plan was about to unfold that had been set in motion many years ago. The people of this land are going to have to make a decision. Either stand by and allow tyranny, or take to the streets and scream, “BE REASONABLE!”

Fairey wrote about Barack, "I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation."
We were honored to have commissioned this limited edition Obama print that you can purchase at Store.BarackObama.com.
"I wanted to make an art piece of Barack Obama because I thought an iconic portrait of him could symbolize and amplify the importance of his mission. I believe Obama will guide this country to a future where everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for the sake of my two young daughters. I have made art opposing the Iraq war for several years, and making art of Obama, who opposed the war from the start, is like making art for peace. I know I have an audience of young art fans and I'm delighted I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack Obama." - Shepard Fairey

Apparently, the burden of supplying 22 states in time for Super Tuesday is starting to lessen because I just got notification that my long backlogged order for 600 bumper stickers and 50 yard signs are being USPS expressed to me today. (I am in post- super Tuesday state of Hawaii).
For stuff that the store doesn’t sell and other material you can do today using supplies from Office Max/ Office Depot, there is lots of stuff you can do yourself if you have an ink jet printer and some time. Note- these are weather resistant, not weatherproof.
