Obamadepending financial recipe

FilipeAlvesFerreira — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:39:56 EST

Is the thing a financial kitchen ?

Yes and no.

Yes because the thing is challenging FED's for the creation of the Universocial_Sovereign_Anchor (U_S_A) for giving folks CLO (Cash_Link_Opportunities) to keep their personal bank-financial power.

No because Regulations and the USA Admnistration are not salt pepper and kitchens.

Do you think it is possible to create a substitute for the investment's practice ?

Would you use the thing for yielding wealth if just you need to link money-to-money at the U_S_A ?

Do you trust on your USA President and on United We Serve ?

Events for change

Davemc — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:07:08 EST

Greetings all and thank you for reading this blog. At this time we are creating an event we hope many will come to participate in. We have been fortunate enough to secure a facility for 150 people to have seats but we can squeeze a few extra into the space if needed. We have noticed many of the small gatherings can facilitate perhaps 20 persons, and they have been turning people away. Now we have the space for meaningful numbers, so if you are in the Portland area, then come on and sign up for the event.

As our soon to be President said, we have the person in the White House to facilitate change, but we still need the people to make it happen. He cannot do it himself, and we all know how Congress and the Senate are rife with special interests and agendas for the status quo. Change HAS to come from US. We have to be prepared to voice our desire for change from the grass roots level. We HAVE to participate in this change, instead of leaving it for others to do for us. We have to be ready to let the career politicians who would stand for the ststus quo, know that we will not stand for obstruction to the plan we are developing here in the trenches of our neighborhoods.

The Audacity of Hypocrisy

The Audacity of Hypocrisy
The Neo-conservative / Religious Right View of Regulation

According to the Bush / Palin right the problem with government is that it regulates business too much and you not enough. When was the last time that a gay marriage resulted in the collapse of our economic system? When was the last time an adult movie caused rolling blackouts throughout California? When was the last time an abortion poisoned a community to the point that the sick and dying residents had to be relocated and the land condemned for generations? Since when did an individual that doesn’t know if god exists or not cause the overthrow of a foreign government and replace it with one friendly to American business?

Listening to the right, one gets the impression that business can do no wrong. But you, oh you are the most dangerous threat to America since bin Laden. The collapse of our economy and the epidemic of foreclosures is not the fault of greedy conmen that created investment instruments that they knew were fraudulent. It wasn’t the fault of Newt Gingrich and Bush deregulating the banking industry. No it was the fault of gays and lesbians marrying and raising children. It is the fault of all of us that want companionship, love, and happiness in our lives. As Falwell, Robertson, and others said, the 9/11 attacks, Katrina, and Rita were God’s wrath for our decadent private lives. That implies that the activities of our public institutions are guilt free. If that were true, why didn’t they attack the Playboy mansion or the bathhouses in San Francisco or Planned Parenthood? No they attacked US military targets. Maybe you didn’t realize how we use economic power as a weapon of war, but the rest of the world is aware of it. That doesn’t make the attacks any less horrific and wrong, but it is not what the rabid right claimed it to be.

It is time we told them enough is enough. If you don’t want your children watching violence or adult situations on TV, turn it off or change the channel. Don’t try to deny me as an adult my choice. If you believe abortion is wrong work to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. If you don’t want to marry another man or woman, then don’t. If the issue affects only those that consent to the activity, back off.

Marilyn Monroe & Barack Obama ©2008 by Mark Bellinghaus

Because you know, that Marilyn Monroe would vote for Barack Obama if she was still alive.
Marilyn Monroe was fighting racism, and she was supporting the Democratic Party, she was fighting for women's rights, and she opened her own company. Since Mary Pickford, she was the first actress who would take her faith into her own hands.
She was considering to adopt a baby, in 1962, shortly before her untimely death and decades before it became almost 'fashionable' for Hollywood actresses to adopt kids.
Marilyn Monroe was her time ahead, always.

The close friendship between black & white in 1950's racist America!


Ella Fitzgerald & Marilyn Monroe, in 1955 (above) and in 1962, (below), the year Marilyn Monroe passed away. In 1955, when racism was still a big issue in the United States of America, Ella Fitzgerald became the first African-American to perform at the Mocambo, after Marilyn Monroe had lobbied the owner for the booking. The booking was instrumental in Fitzgerald's career. Marilyn would promise the owner that she would appear every night (and be on time), and this way also fill the house--and she did, she was there every night, and she filled the house and: she was always on time! Their close friendship lasted for many years and Ella would sing Marilyn Monroe's famous 'My Heart Belongs To Daddy'in honor of her wonderful friend Marilyn Monroe, who died almost 34 years before she passed on in 1996, at age 79.

       Marilyn & Ella
Please vote for Barack Obama!

Show the world that racism in the United States Of America is now a defeated chapter from the dark past of this country, where an organization such as the KKK is still existing.

Show the world that change is possible, that the future is here.
The future is now, and the future is in your own hands.

Vote for the right candidate and make your voice heard and be counted.

On November 4, 2008, please give your vote to the only person who can turn this sinking ship that is covered by greed and stupidity, by a President who is still denying GLOBAL WARMING, while the Asthma cases for children in the USA are on the sharp rise...this person has arrived. And he was making a sensational entrance four years ago, when he spoke at the Democratic Convention, where hopes were high for John Kerry. Barack Obama stands for the American dream, more than any politician, more than anyone who has been running for President.

PLEASE VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA, the President of Change, Hope, Progress and Charisma.

-Lyrics-

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.

Unemployed Accountant For Obama

Karen Funk Blocher — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:53:53 EDT

A page featuring Barack Obama's recent 2-minute video about the economy invited readers to "share your story" on the economic situation. I did so, and I think it's worth sharing again here:

A little over a year ago, I was a staff accountant for a national mortgage broker, making adequate pay while the company was riding high on the housing bubble. In mid-August 2007, I learned from a newspaper headline that my company had collapsed, and arrived at work as my co-workers were walking out with their boxes of belongings. Needless to say, I lost my job as well.

After a temporary position with a clothing retailer, I found myself working for a large RV dealership. But we all know what gas prices have done this past year. Who can afford to fill a $100,000 RV with diesel fuel? So that job, too, went away. Now, another temp job later, I am unemployed again, and one of my recruiters tells me that displaced CFOs in Tucson are taking lesser positions, pushing everyone else down a rung. This is a "fundamentally strong" economy? Not where I'm sitting!

Everything Barack Obama is saying about the economy makes sense to me. Let's have some of that, please, because it really is the "change we need." John McCain is more likely to provide incentives for the execs from that mortgage company I was with - the millionaires who are now back in business under another name. Meanwhile, I've had a paycheck from the bankruptcy court in payment for my last two weeks of work at that company. I think it was for about $65.

Teamsters' Call to Drive

Claudette from Saint Petersburg, FL — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 11:12:14 EDT

I have asked the President of the Teamsters, NPR Radio and personaldemocracy.com to announce this "Call to Drive" for Barack Obama. Please send this to anyone who can get the word out.

We know the pain and power of the unions. Gas and the overall economy have created a disaster in America. I am calling on the Teamsters' who have had enough of the pain, to show their power.

Any truckers' in the Washington DC area on September 30, 2008, place an Obama sign on your truck and drive by the Whitehouse. Let them know, Barack Obama is coming! Please show your support.

First Post of Many

Renee — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 02:24:28 EDT

The inaugural post of this blog. Hopefully this will be the first of many.

I have voted in two presidential elections, so this will be my third. I'm not among the first-timers who have been motivated to get out and - as the new saying goes - Barock the Vote. I'm one of those people who was raised to believe that voting is part of that whole Social Contract thing. My government protects me, provides services, and represents me on the global stage (well, that's the theory). In return, I pay my taxes and turn up every so often to the voting station to press the screen on an electronic voting machine.

It's Way Past Time We Went on Offense, Part II

I'm glad to see there's someone out there who gets it.

There's a world of difference between attacking your opponent's record, which is an essential what political campaigning is about, and attacking your opponent personally--and falsely, which is what the GOP has been about for years.

Back in the States

Emily Oxenford — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:51:12 EDT

Well, I've made it back to the United States from France. Within the first week I was registered to vote in my new state (Washington). Even though I'm going to be heading back to Washington DC for school, I'm looking forward to casting my first ever presidential-race vote! How exciting!

What I really love is that my grandparents - both Norwegian-Americans - have been so excited about Barack. They were following his career and telling their grandchildren about him since before he became a household name. I love that they have shared their enthusiasm with the family. We are a pretty diverse family, and the fact that so many of us actually are able to agree on a politician and what he stands for... now that is something.

The Country I love

Lya from Pittsburgh, PA — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:17:03 EDT

I feel very much where Obama comes from. I come from immigrant parents who did not make a lot of money when I was younger. They taught me that if I worked hard I could do anything in the U.S..

I went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on financial aid. I worked hard to be where I am. I believe that in the U.S. anyone who wants to can do anything. Thanks to having the opportunities I had, noow that I find myself a single mother, I am blessed with being able to hold down one good job and raise my children well.

Getting Into It

Fred - Team Liaison - Smyrna-Vinings — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 14:35:40 EDT

It's weird...I've been tangentially involved in politics my whole life. From student government in high school and college to being active with NAGPS (the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students) when I was in grad school, to being very informed and talkative about politics my entire adult life. But, I've never REALLY been involved.

Well, now I am -- and I'm loving it. Barack Obama is the first truly inspirational national politician I can point to in my lifetime (I'm 37). And, he's inspired me finally to get off my butt.

Keep an eye on my blog and on my profile page, as I plan to take this to the next level. I've just created a group for my community (the Smyrna-Vinings area of Atlanta -- pending approval by the Obama admin team), a fundraising project for that same community, and already signed up to host a Unite for Change house meeting on 6/28. I can't wait!

The Beacons of Light ~ Re-minders from Home ~ 12/15/2007

~ The Human Condition ~

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

The Human Condition

Each one of you has a condition you are dealing with that has caused you great difficulties throughout your entire stay on this planet. It is a challenge for every one of you to see yourselves the way you really are. That is because of a deeply embedded belief system that each and every one of you carries. It was necessary to carry from the very beginning of the connection because it was the part that activated everything for you. But you have a strong case of what we call the human condition. The human condition is a very serious ailment of the spirit.

When a spirit enters a bubble of biology and activates a veil to keep them from re-membering, they still have memories of Home. Over time, if these memories are not reinforced, the memories fade to the back of consciousness. Sometimes they are only left in the cellular memories which are your souls imprint on the physical body. It is at this point that a soul starts to actually believe that they are a human. This is a serious ailment of the soul that we call the human condition.

That is what you are dealing with everyday. Everywhere you look in your daily life there are people who all try to get you to buy into the human condition so that you can be like them. People walking around truly believing that they are the human body they inhabit has caused more difficulties for humanity in general than you could ever imagine. That is beginning to change. The Re-wire of Humanity is underway and the evolution will soon have all of humanity seeing from a different perspective. That perspective is the basis of your understanding as a Lightworker. Now you are looking at people who are beginning to see themselves the way they truly are, instead of the way they believe themselves to be. It is so hard for you to take off your wings and to put on the physical bubbles of biology and pretend to be a human. You devised a veil which is incredibly powerful and works very well.

Physical Adjustments

The physical bubble of biology is now adapting to the new you. There are several events taking place simultaneously. Firstly you are evolving the physical body much more than you know, it will start to show soon. Your physical being is starting to take on new attributes to allow more light to come through your body and that is something that was never expected on this planet. That was never expected in this game. It was never thought that the children coming in could carry the magic that would help you re-member your own and yet it is beginning to happen. It was never thought that you could stand as a human being and let all of your light through your physical body. Why? Because the first thing that happens is you start attracting attention, you go back into your human condition thinking that you are a human and everyone is looking at you. Then you shut it down in order to fit in. When the veil s tarts to thin you get scared and revert to your old belief systems. You revert to the energy of who you were and belief systems that supported you at that time. In effect, you revert back into the human condition.

Secondly, even the physical body is beginning to adapt to make it possible to have a new vision of yourself. For that to happen, it is going to be important for you to stop looking on the outside of yourself for your reflection. That is a natural effect of the human condition. You cannot see your own light internally. Even if you look in the mirror, you always see the negative. Have you noticed that your attention immediately goes to things you think are wrong, not what you think is right? So every time you look in the mirror, your attention goes to your imperfections. That mirror immediately attracts your problems or what you see as your challenges. That is due to the amount of light that you carry. yet it is only a slight shift in perception. It is only a slight difference in how you look to start seeing yourself from the inside out rather than the outside in. It takes practice. As you evolve you will define yourself by the amount of light that you carry. It is not easy at first for you are so accustomed to define yourself by your belief systems. It is changing.

Beliefs about Being Human

Part of your evolution as humans is to experience multidimensionality. This will eventually give you the broadest view possible as you evolve. Multidimensional vision will give you incredible options and your lives will become powerful and streamlined. You are moving into an area of multidimensionality daily. You are going to find out much more about your true existence on this planet as human beings, as spirits pretending to be human than you ever thought possible within the next 12 years. You will start understanding how the fabric of the universe is woven together and how to utilize it. Then you will understand how energy weaves together to form matter. You will understand how your thoughts create matter every moment of every day by interacting with this fabric.. You will understand more of your true, creative gifts of creation, of every thought sending out a vibration that takes the fabric of the universe and weaves it together to make something magical. In order to do that, the first thing that has to be reevaluated is your beliefs about your beliefs. As a cure, as a temporary situation, as a possibility of stepping out of the human condition, start looking at your beliefs about beliefs for that covers it all. In the days directly ahead those who are willing to release and broaden old belief systems will have a huge head start on the entire evolutionary ascension process ahead of you.

Integration

We have spoken about the timeline and the illusion of the timeline. You see everything as past, present and future. The left part of your brain does nothing more than to mark time and put everything you experience into little boxes. This is what it has been bread to do within a field of duality. It was quite useful in duality as it categorized and equated everything. It thinks. Of course now you are moving out of duality and that is one of the reasons for the re-wire of the physical body. All of these changes will lead you eventually to a more fluid way of categorizing and studying yourself. Rigid boxes will no longer work as the way you see life and yourself

When you let that part of your life rule who you are and what you are doing, you start to carry belief systems about what that is. Humans are creatures of habit. Even your souls are creatures of habit as you have a tendency to choose the same things over and over again even between lifetimes. In reality, many of the belief systems you carry today may have been with you for several lifetimes.

When you start to understand how it works, you can see right from the beginning what your beliefs are. Eventually your true motivations are ever present in every decision. When you can see that clearly and remember your motivations you can make a conscious choice. If you have forgotten you true motivation you are likely running on a belief system that may get very small in the near future. When you walk consciously on your path you begin to carry more light within. These are the times in life when you are on purpose and feel it. Many of your life decisions now are made out of habit or belief systems. The key to evolution is not in eliminating belief systems but in expanding the box to a more fluid and much larger container in which you can see yourself.

Many of you are finding your beliefs beginning to change. You are starting to shift the energy of what you are truly working with and how it works. When you start to really evaluate that process, when you start to truly evaluate who you are on the inside, everything starts to change on the outside. Now, more than ever before, you will see people change in very big ways.

Universal Energy Field

The first of three tools we will offer you is the Universal Energy Field. You have a magnetic field around your body that connects you to the Universal Energy. The Universal Energy is based in love but it is a connection that goes in between one heart and another and stitches all the hearts together. In other words, everything that you have felt in your lifetime, others have felt. Every emotion that you have ever felt is felt by several others at the same moment. It goes between everybody as a huge ripple of energy goes out from the source of creation. When you have a belief system, it is a predetermination of the way that energy will return. With belief systems the energy you send out is predetermined to return in a certain manner. In effect you are limiting your own spirit in your creations.

Even some of your most used methods about using the laws of creation as they have used within duality will change as humans move into a field of Triality. Then you will have a much wider view and be able to see how the energy is stitched together and how to use it much more effectively. Your conscious use of the Universal Energy Field will become second nature to each of you. Upon mastery of it you will manifest as you sleep and it may seem at first that the wind is magically at your back all of the time. This is a part of Home that you have missed the most, so you create it first. At first this will seem like a new sense that humans will suddenly develop. Like the other senses you will use it to interact with the world around you and reflect your light. When you use this new sense in your life you can see the miscommunications that belief systems can create. It is a part of you that is tot ally automatic and goes without thinking. It becomes an automatic reaction to an external stimuli setting up a vibration within the Universal Field that precedes you before you walk into a room, start a project, begin a relationship or pick up the phone. You could say that it creates your world just before you get there. Learning how to use it will be the subject of many books to come but it will very quickly become integrated into the new humanity.

Who do You Think You Are?

The first belief that most humans have who are dealing with the human condition is that they need their belief systems. Belief Systems are ways of defining life by finding connecting threads that run through a set of truths that you have collected. In the early days, belief systems helped you define God. They helped to define who you were and to find your energy as a creator. Here your reality was built with the blueprint of what you thought of yourself. It worked very well in duality but as you are moving into Triality this is beginning to be restrictive. Things react differently because you are different. Your field is different and the energy around you and everything you interact with is different because you have moved. With that move have come opportunities for you to look at the very core belief systems of who you are.

Tool number one in dealing with the human condition is to look on the inside about which belief systems serve you, which ones limit you. Then reevaluate each one as you become more flexible in all of your belief systems. You will easily grasp higher truths when your belief systems no longer limit you. Humans are under the impression there is only one central truth everywhere. We tell you there is not one truth because it is not about any destination. Finding truth is a journey not a destination and that is one core belief system that will need to stretch greatly in the near future. Experiencing the journey of finding your own spirit reflected in the world around you is why you are here.

The Re-Wire<br><br>The physical re-wire of all humanity has already begun. It will stretch out over several years, but the new synaptic pathways and the new ways that your brain will be communicating will start to close the gap between the two sides of the brain that have created the veil. There is one side of the brain that is infinite and one side of the brain that is finite, and one side of the brain has the human condition and one side of the brain deals only with your spirit that knows its identity. We can tell you that there has been a purposeful division that is now beginning to integrate.

That was done through the two halves of the brain. The two halves are now starting to grow back together via the new synaptic pathways that are now forming. This will be noticed by your medical scientists in only ten to twenty years and that is huge for the advancement of humanity because it began only recently. This entire re-wire is starting to go throughout all humanity which is starting to see things differently. That ignites part of the spirit in the physical body and that ignites what we call the sexual energy in the physical body because the life-force energy that can now come through you and let you carry more of the light energy in your physical being. It lets you exude more light, connect to your own Universal Field and be on purpose.

This lifestyle must begin as a daily choice, for if you leave it up to the default, you will go back to your old belief systems and those things that are entrenched in your experience. So choose, every day, to be on purpose. Choose, every day, to evaluate your belief systems and your true motivations for doing things. Especially examine your reactions to things that oppose your belief systems. There are many times when you do not wish to look at your motivations because you have judgments about yourself or you think this motivation is not good enough. I should be saving the world instead of making myself happy. I should be doing something to end world hunger rather than buy myself chocolate. We tell you that you are looking at this from within duality. The entire word "should" will have a new meaning as you experience Triality. In order to give joy to all of humanity, the first thing you must experience is joy within you. The first thing you must do is start to choose things that feed you completely because that is when you set up your energy field outside of you. That is when your whole world starts to change. That is when people come into your life that are full of energy, full of life, full of expression and full of light. As you start to see your light reflected off that, you get excited about the possibilities and a whole new part of your life starts. That is the awakening that is taking place on this planet right now. That is the answer to the human condition that you are starting to relieve yourselves from.

This is Not a Drill

We must tell you something very important. This, dear ones, is not a drill. The time for practice is over. You have some very important decisions you will be making collectively about your advancement over the next two years. You are evolving at an astounding rate. You are moving so fast that it has caused revisions of your own 'divine plan.' That is incredibly beautiful and yet, it is time for your actions to match your new vibration. Do not let this pass you by for it is an opportunity of great magnitude. Do not wait for the collective vibration to hit a trigger point where you see it in everybody. Lightworkers have chosen to be here to shine light where it is needed are being called to action today. Your light is needed now more than ever before. But the first part is getting comfortable with your own light as it shines through your physical being, as it exudes from you. We hope yo u experience it and allow it to ignite your field full of life.

You ask, "How can I do that? I have been in my job for years and they do not understand me there and they do not want me to talk about light or energy. I'm just going to work and do my job." We tell you that you will see people around you raising vibration soon, and if they do not then your time there is limited. You are no longer able to tolerate some of the things you used to tolerate. When you are a low vibration, there is a wide variance of vibration you can go through. It is huge. As you raise your vibration, it narrows and tightens. This is where many of your belief systems come in.

So you are asking, "What is the greatest thing I can do? What is the one thing I can do that will set this all in motion?" We would love to tell you some fancy thing about a ceremony you can go through and how it can work, but it is simply that your intent that says it all. We can give you ceremonies. We can give you meditations. We can give you ways of going inside as they are only tools that reflect your magic, not ours. The tools do not hold the magic. You do. That is the answer to the human condition.

Time of Truth

Please understand that there is a time coming on this planet when each and every one of you will want to stand up and be counted for your truth. Many of you are wondering right now what it is. You do not know, but your heart does. You know who you are and where you are going although you may not know it on a conscious basis. Your connection to your higher self is growing stronger every day partly because of the connection between the new synaptic pathways and partly because of the sexual energy infusion which is entering your body. Your entire physical body is raising vibration. You are coming closer to Home with every breath you take. That will not stop but how you experience this change as a collective of humanity is still unset. It has not been decided because you have not decided how that is going to happen.

Now, it can be difficult. It can be through war with force. It can be through great global disasters and weather changes. It can also be comfortable and smooth. Those choices are yours and there are no right or wrong choices. The evolution of humanity is underway and it will happen. It is just a question of what you have to go through in the meantime. Do you understand how hard it is for us to look at you sometimes and see the pain that you experience because you cannot re-member who you are? Do you know how difficult it is for us to look at you feeling lost and to know the spirit and greatness inside of you and for you not to feel it?<br><br>This will become a common condition as you begin to move away from the human condition because the first thing you do when you start to release your belief systems, is to release a bit of your identity that kept you in these belief systems. A very common situation will be for each and every one of you to feel alone and to wonder if you are on this path. There is only one answer to it. There is only one way out of this and that is to reach out and grab somebody's hand. The destination is unimportant. Reach out and honor the others on the path with you and those on any path that breathes light into them. Reach out and touch somebody's heart--to put yourself outside of yourself so you are not out there looking in. So start shining the light from within and you start moving from a field of me to a field of we. That starts changing the human condition to the Human Angel condition. That illusion is going on every day.&n bsp; Each one of you has an opportunity to do more today than you have ever done before and it is difficult, we grant you that.

Removing your Experience from the Timeline

In the beginning there was a long line that formed for souls to enter Earth. Then it became not so popular not to come to Earth followed by "this Earth Game will never make it." Now the line is back, dear ones. You have created an opportunity to carry your power of creation while in the physical body. That has caused quite a stir throughout All That Is. It was never expected. Many are in line to come to Earth to take any physical body they can get their hands on to only be here five minutes, if needed, to try to make an imprint and a difference. They want to be here for the miracle that is unfolding. They want to be a part of that energy in any way they can. It is so difficult when you are inside of yourself like that, trying to find your way out. The only way to do it is to start letting the light out and start releasing yourself of that human condition. That is done with the second most important tool of removing your experience from the timeline.

Let us give you an example because there are many tools that will follow showing you how to remove things from the timeline. This is designed to help you experience full dimensionality of now, the full point of where you are. Start with every problem you have in life, you have to ask yourself, "What is my experience right now?" Develop the habit of asking this question at stressful times in your life and watch what happens. Most of your hopes are in the future and most of your fears are in the past. This is a product of magnetism. Do you know what happens when you carry a negative energy or a doubt or fear about the future? It sets up exactly what you are fearing. Rather than just a thought it becomes a manifestation and you create exactly the opposite of what you think you wanted. Removing it from the timeline becomes the second part that is going to help tremendously.

Spectrum Viewing

The third tool we will offer you this day is Spectrum Viewing. Many of you are starting to see things from multiple angles. As you are aware, it is almost as if you are a camera which is experiencing life. That is what you came to do, to search for god. You are now finding that it is possible to use a very wide angle lens on your camera of life bring in much more of the overall picture that life has to offer. You are not accustomed to that but as you master it you are going to start seeing into multiple dimensions of your own experience. This is the gift of Spectrum Viewing. Spectrum Viewing is simply choosing the largest view from which to see any point in your life. It is a way to start focusing on the large perspective of life.

Number one: you are going to find that most of your problems are not problems. We know that is going to disappoint many of you, but when you start really looking at the largest picture, you are going to find that many of the challenges you thought were insurmountable are not worth tackling because they are simply belief systems that are held over from a lower vibrational existence. They are simply old energy patterns that you are trying to take into new parts. It does not work. It means releasing. It means letting new things into your field. You are going to find there are more capabilities within your physical being. Your physical bubbles of biology will be going through several changes as you move through this. The one all of you are accustomed to is weight. You humans are so preoccupied with your weight. Because of your preoccupation, you draw more to it. We never though of that one. You humans are so inventive sometimes. The more that you can help yourself experience this as a spirit pretending to be a human the more light you will carry.

We will leave you with 3 simple reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect for you are part of each other. Nurture one another and make the path more comfortable at every opportunity you can because that makes your own path more comfortable. Re-member that it is a beautiful game and play well together.

Introduction

JoshH — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:21:07 EDT

Greetings! This is just a short introduction of myself and this blog. I'm a 25-years old former Marine, working an IT job living in Las Vegas. My wife and I moved out here over a year ago when I was honorably discharged. I never thought I'd be starting a blog on a presidential candidate's website but here I am, inspired by Obama to do just that, in the hopes he will be elected President of the United States of America. I was a precinct captain for the Obama campaign here in Vegas during the Nevada Caucuses and have supported Barack since then. I support Obama because I think he is the one best capable of ending the war in Iraq and getting our economy back on track.

The kind of people we need to win over:

Amanda Gant — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:00:17 EDT

There are a few kinds of people we will want to win over. One type is like my dad, here is an email exchange:

Me: Dad, you have to vote for Obama, or please just don't vote.

Dad: Amanda, ain't happening! No Way, he is a major
politcal bullsh***er. I'm voting for McCain, in
spite of his age, I know he is a true American that
will protect our shores and it's coming to that. Love Ya, Dad

My personal strategy -- Convince my dad to vote for some third party candidate or show him towards news articles that will make my dad become disaffected with John McCain so he doesn't vote for McCain on Election day.

Another type can be the Indy/Conservative voters who won't vote for McCain (good):
This is a G-chat between me and my friend Jay

Amanda: You're gonna vote for Obama, right?

Jay: hmm
u know i'm not a dem right?
..i'm not going to vote for john mccain necessarily...i'm just not voting for obama. I don't have anything personal against him
i actually think he'd be good someday....just dont' think he's ready

NNOOOOOO. Of course Obama is ready for presidency. He's had a stellar career this far and can DO the job!
Personal Strategy: Work on her slowly. She doesn't need to be prodded. Hopefully she'll see the light. There are no huge moral oppositions to Obama. She could be won over by November.

The Moral of the Story: Lets all try to convince our stubborn friends and family members that a vote for Obama is correct... or we can hope they don't go to the polls for Obama.

Amanda

Don't Drive -Save Gas & Donate Savings to Barack

Charlotte in Newmarket NH — Fri, 23 May 2008 09:06:46 EDT

Hi Everyone

I have parked the Prius today and I am donating the money that I have saved on gas and tolls to Barack's Campaign. Fortunately, I have a bunch of paid vacation days banked so I have the luxury to do this.

Here is a break down of the savings: Gas $9.00 Tolls: $4.00 Total Donation $13.00

Please pass this on to other Obama Supporters- this is a win-win way to conserve gas and at the same time contribute to our cause ..... Barack as #44 in the Oval Office.

See you soon on the Campaign Trail!!!

Peace,

Charlotte

Yes We Can & Yes We Will.

It's not business, it's personal.

Patrick — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:55:04 EDT

Rev. Jeremiah Wright has exploded on the national stage, doing his darnedest to take down the one African-American candidate for President who's had more than the proverbial "snowball's chance" of actually winning the Presidency. Columnist Bob Herbert takes this into more details The Pastor Casts a Shadow. Payback's a well, you know, motherdog. The good reverend has it all backwards. Properly executed, it's always "business, not personal." But he's taken it personal and made it his business.

What bothers me about "the Wright stuff" drama right now is the timing. Coming just ahead of necessary primaries that will hopefully, finally, give Barack Obama the nomination and keep HRC out of the White House (please) the question is two part, "why now? and who's bankrolling the Reverend's bombast?" I see a not quite invisible Clintonian hand in the mix. Oh, not directly, of course, that would cause too much embarrasment and would really derail her campaign if found out now. But what promises are in the offing after HRC has firmly secured the nomination? A donation to Trinity - obscenely subsidized by us all as it can be written off as a 'charitable contribution'?

Okay, okay, maybe this is getting too far out on a limb. But I've said all along that I don't put anything past the Clintons, and for the racist set, how wonderfully ironic to use one black man to take down another, making a mockery of Senator Obama's ideas and speeches to confront the evils of our racist past, with still-bonafide echoes in the present, sadly enough.

I just wonder, if we as a people can take this as an offer we CAN refuse, not to buy into the lies, not to buy into the spite, not to buy into those who would undermine Hope and real change. That's the biggest issue we have to turn this around, for us, now, more than ever to keep on keeping on. Until January 2009 when Barack Obama is sworn in as President. Then we'll know it's not personal, it's strictly business, and President Obama can start to deal with all the business this country has to do!

Obama Didn't Want My Money

obamarama — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:42:53 EDT

Obama Didn't Want My Money - Updated w/link to letter [Daily Kos]

by Borell Mon Apr 07, 2008 at 10:12:52 AM PDT

I just had the strangest experience. A presidential candidate gave me back my donation, told me would not accept it because of what I do for a living, and it left me more committeed to the candidate and conviced that he is the person that must be the next president.

I went to the mailbox and found a letter from the Obama Campaign. Enclosed was a check for $100, the return of my contribution from earlier this month along with a letter explaining why it would not be accepted.

Borell's diary :: ::

You see, I am a registered lobbyist for a non-profit organziation. We are a non-partisan, non-political membership organziation, we do not have a political action committee and strictly observe a policy of non-particpation in any event that even remotely appears political. I serve as their legislative rep, trying to ensure that expertise of our membership is heard by public officials on issues related to their area of expertise (public safety).

I guess given the fact that I was not a corporate/industry lobbyist, I never really considered that Obama's no-lobbyist money ban would apply to me, but it did! The letter thanked me for my interest in the campaign, but stated flately that my donation was not acceptable.

It's not often you get told that you are persona non grata and end up praising the person who exiled you. But that what I am doing. Obama actions are living up to his words. Through the actions of his campaign he is demonstrating that his values are real and his commitment is certain.

Another aspect that is quite impressive to me is that the Obama campaign has a mechnism set up to check each donation, even one as small as mine, against the lobbyist database, and then return it.

If I ever doubted the sincerity of the Obama Campaign, this action removed any questions.

I know my donation is not going to make a difference one way or another, and I hope that I am not the type of "corrupt lobbyist" that has infested washington.

Obama, and his campaign, are committed to bringing about change. They are doing this in both large and small steps. Refusing my money is a small step, but it spoke volumes to me. It showed me Obama means what he says and backs it up with action. It shows me that no detail is to small and that his organization is top notch. It strengthened my commitment to see him elected President.

I guess I just can't use my money to do it:).

p.s.: As a side note, last year my spouse had set up automatic monthly payments to Hillary (nothing big $10/month) but after switching to Obama, had to battle with the Clinton campaign to cancel the automatic payment. I find it ironic that one campaign won't take my money, the other won't give it back!

Updated to add: I though we had finally stopped the payments to the Clinton Campaign, but after checking with my spouse, it turns out they are still taking the payments 3-4 months after we asked them to stop.

Updated: Couldn't figure out how to post the image of the letter on the site. So below is a link. If nyone can figure out how to post in the comments, pls feel free. Thanks

Mom, that's HUGE!

John McElhenney — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:12:47 EDT

My mom, a staunch republican has volunteered here in Austin at the Obama campaign HQ.

When asked, "Have you ever volunteered in a political race for any reason before?" She said, sort of surprised, "Well no. I haven't."

"That's HUGE Mom. Huge!"

And that we are engaging in passionate dialogues around the ISSUES and not the parties or idiologies, is HUGE! This campaign has fueled a lot of dialogues with colleagues on both sides of the party line.

Hillary must be forced by the DNC to stop attacking Obama and focus on the ISSUES. We all win if we win. WE REALLY LOSE if McCain wins.

My kids sing, "I got a crush on Obama." as they walk home from the bus. It's a great time. Your yard sign will fly proudly in my Austin Texas, white upper-middle-class neighborhood until you are elected.

Thanks for all you are doing. My entire family is behind you.

Take Heart!

Eyes of Understanding

Ailene — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:36:13 EDT

Before tuesday, I admit I became increasingly concerned about the effects of the continual firestorm caused by the reporting of Pastor Jeremiah Wright's comments. I didn't view the reporting of the comments as completely nefarious but a legitimate concern that deserves to be addressed directly and forcibly by Barack Obama, in order to settle the issue once and for all.

As I listened it was evident to me that this speech was not something he really wanted to do but believed he had to do. This is not surprising given the fact he has always tried to transcend race throughout his campaign. In the beginning there seem to be a tinge of exasperation and pained anger in the tone. My initial reaction was grave concern about alienation of voters. As Obama continued, I realized that the American people have not only been given a gut-wrenching look into our collective soul, but the soul of Barack Obama. ("These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.")

It was not surprising to learn that he wrote the speech himself while staying up until the early hours of the morning. It was personal. It was the most revealing speech that I've ever heard from a politician. A person actually can imagine the internal struggles Barack Obama dealt with in the past concerning his identity i.e the reconciliation of being multi-cultural in a intolerant-prone/divisive-prone soceity.

The ability of Barack Obama to take his experiences to convey understanding of a larger issue such as race relations shows great wisdom. It's not surprising that Pat Buchanan has called Obama 'the most self-confident, self-assured politician than has been previously observed. He's comfortable in his own skin'. It's not surprising that the descriptive words reporters, military personnel, and politicians have used to describe Obama's temperment have been serenity, calm, bold, direct, and resolute. As Richard Nixon has said later in his own life, one achieves "the peace at the center".

At the end of Obama's speech, I realized Americans shouldn't ask Barack Obama to 'disavow' a part of himself i.e. effectively split him into two nor should the country be divided because we're unwilling to seek reconciliation with members of another race/heritage through understanding.

Theologically speaking, 'perfect' doesn't mean without flaws as commonly believed, but speaks of maturation. Let's move beyond immaturity to a more 'Perfect Union'.

"Yes, We Can"

Obama's Speech

Joe — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:59:56 EDT

This is something I posted on my general blog sites today I hought I would share it with all of you here.

Barack Obama gave a speech in Philadelphia today that was well crafted and to the point, addressing the issue of race in America and what his vision is on that divisive and important issue.

Was it a speech that he had to give? Yes it was. He needed to define himself for what he was. He could no longer gloss over the issue. It was important to his campaign to win the presidency and focus on what his candidacy means to all of us.

Was it a speech he should have had to make? Unfortunately, there are still fears and prejudices on both sides that needed to address. He had to make a speech like this because of those fears. When candidates no longer have to make speeches concerning race, religion, class or gender, then we can truly say that we have gone past the fears and prejudices that separate us. Until then look for more speeches like Obama’s in future elections.

One last thing, part of the problem was that some people jumped on the words of Rev. Wright. They used his words and branded Obama as one who agreed with those statements. They did not separate what Senator Obama said to what Rev. Wright said. They confused the issue and muddied up the electoral process. I hope that now they will concentrate on ideas, rather than on personalities.

What Obama says is not what Rev. Wright says. Listen to the candidate, and not someone who is the friend of the candidate. You might get a clearer picture of who the candidate is.

My Fundraising Goal

Glenn, V.O.B. Turn Nebraska Blue. — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:07:11 EST

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?

A Little Info About Me

Candace N. - V.O.B — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:32:16 EST

I feel that it is good to know a little something about the people on this site who ask you to befriend them and join them in campaigning. I did not want to put this in the profile because I feel that is meant to indicate why we support Barack. So I am writing this blog to give a little info about my self. Maybe too much info. LOL

I am a 35 year old multiracial female, white/black/native american. I am a registered nurse specializing in psychiatric nursing. I have three beautiful children. I am of the pentecostal faith but believe that everyone has a right to practice whatever religion they choose to. My hobbies include: learning, reading, supporting causes I believe in, internet surfing and shopping, fine dining on Capitol Hill, theatre, visiting museums, supporting homeless shelters, volunteering, going to the beach and watching professional wrestling. I love all kinds of music from classical to rock. Luther Vandross is my all time favorite.

I have been a Virginia resident all of my life. I consider myself a sincere and honest person who always fights for something that I believe in. When I commit to something I stick with it. Honesty and faithfulness are two of the most important qualities to me. I tend to be a night owl, so I guess I will have to make some changes in my habits when the general election comes, so that I will be able to hit the pavement early in the morning.

Well that is a little bit of info about me. Like I said I want you to know something about the person that you are corresponding with.

I look forward to getting to know everyone better and to continue supporting this very important campaign.

Donating for Change

Timothy O'Neill — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:50:31 EST

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?

Introductory Offer: Verbosity, Half Off

Rowan Badger — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:30:51 EST

Well, as this is my first post, perhaps I'll explain a little about why I'm standing where I am.

I'm a soldier's daughter. Some of my earliest memories are of my father's stern corrections when I failed to stand quietly or salute properly during the National Anthem. In my house, the national colors were red, white, blue, and olive drab. Service to my nation is in my blood; it was with deepest regrets that I rejected my father's pressure to apply to West Point or join ROTC. I couldn't do it. When I graduated high school, George HW Bush had just committed us to Desert Storm, an action I felt was an inappropriate use of force. I knew that in the military, I could not refuse to serve if given a legal order that violated my conscience. So, I began to look for other ways to serve.

My 18th birthday was the day of Lollapalooza I in Kansas City. As I walked the vendor ring, I passed a voter registration booth. I stood in line for half an hour, only to be turned away because my ID was in my wallet, in the car. Three weeks later, as I unpacked my dorm room, the Campus Democrats came around to register voters. This time, I was prepared. A little less than a month later, I had my very first shiny voter registration card in hand, the first of many.

A modest beginning

I am relatively new to Virginia, and new to this online community. I believe we all have an influence beyond this forum within our individual communities to further the support of Barack Obama. As we have seen with the past 8 years, a presidential administration wields enormous power to chnage the global political landscape. When I think of the future, not only for myself, but for our great nation, I believe that a leader the likes of Senator Obama can affect our nation and the world in a positive way. This blog will reflect on those possibilities.

I have a special interest in politics because of my graduate academic training in international relations, with extensive personal experience in Germany and Japan. I hope that my perspectives can enhance both our virtual and personal conversations.

For the record, I support Senator Obama because of my belief in the United States and its ideals. It has been a powerful force for stability and individual rights in the world, and it is too early for those ideals to be compromised because of incoherent policy.

"We the people" refers to you and me. Let's rise to the occasion.

How Barack won me over (please read the whole thing before commenting)

Brian "Arkle" Webber — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 02:43:52 EST

At the start of this campaign season, when we had 8 candidates, all of them really good, I made the decision to back Governor Richardson even though I'd been a "Kucitizen" in 2004, and was tempted to join Dennis again this time. When Richardson dropped out after New Hampshire, I wavered. We really did have a great field. Had they not already dropped out by that point...

Clinton Campaign injects $5 million of personal fortune

! ! Leonel Picun — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:52:18 EST

The Clinton campaign just announced that Hillary and Bill Clinton injected $5 million of their personal fortune into her campaign a few days ago.Doubtlessly this is a dramatic move and as I see it an acknowledgement that Senator’s Obama campaign (OUT CAMPAIGN) has been consistently gaining momentum and its reaching levels they never thought possible.The evidence is undeniable when we look at last Super Tuesday results; Barack Obama won most of the states and the most delegates.We have reached this point because of the unprecedented support of ordinary Americans that got together and said “We want OUR COUNTRY back and we are going to do something about it”.

We want changes and we are making these changes as we go, because WE CAN.

an email i sent out to my family and friends

annakatrina — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:24:59 EST

something small--that will hopefully lead to seomthing big

i'm sending this email to everyone i know in the hopes of passing on something--a feeling, a knowing--that has consumed my thoughts and conversations all weekend. i'm writing my family, whom i love dearly, though we have never agreed politically. and i am writing my friends, whose voices in bigger states like california and new york, carry a little more weight than mine here in the mountains of new mexico.

i've been homebound all day because of a snowstorm--a wonderful respite from everyday life. on friday night, forest, judy (his mom), and i attended a barack obama rally held here in our little town of santa fe. we, and 5600 others, braved the cold for three hours to get in and see obama speak. it was a wonderful surprise to see so many friends there, not having planned to go together en masse. and a common conversation we kept having was how "i'd never been to an event like this... i've never been curious enough about a candidate... etc." when they announced the rally two days before, it was just a given that we would go; the excitement, the electricity had already taken hold, without any of us really knowing or understanding what it was that was so compelling.

and then we heard him speak.

i have never been a part of anything like that. we hear about these moments all the time; persons of greatness standing before a crowd, making hearts swell with pride, inspiring hope and awe and tears of joy. a whole room of people reaching the same epiphany: that we believe in him. that we believe in ourselves.

it sounds a little silly, i know, but i am unapologetic about it. we were moved in a way that we have never been in the political arena. as most of you know, (especially my family), my political passion has been limited to fervent anger about unjustifiable wars, the state of the environment, the short-sightedness of our leaders (i could go on and on and on). but for the first time ever, our hearts are filled with lightness and hope for the future. and a belief that it is our turn and our responsibility to make this happen.

i'm putting it out there so you would consider--if you haven't already--voting for barack obama on tuesday. and if you are not a registered democrat or independent, please consider--just consider--him for the general election. i don't want to get into any of the messy particulars here because i don't want anyone to get angry or defensive. i guess i just wanted people to know: there's something in the air. something honest and beautiful and transforming. and if we are open to it and let it take hold, i have every bit of hope that we can get this--this country, this world--on the right path. but we have to take that leap together.

love to all of you.

The Formation of Stereotypes Through Perception

Ms CYPRAH — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:26:06 EST

Personal perception controls everything we do and defining perception seems easy on the surface. We perceive the world through our physical senses and therefore create a reality where we can function. This reality has certain basic rules upon which society is agreed, like up is up, down is down and humans walk upright on two legs! As everyone depends on their five senses (taste, sight, sound, touch and smell) to guide their emotions and physical needs, they create a world which is familiar and has rules each person can rely upon to actually work. Our ability to perceive is thus like a sixth sense which unifies all the others.

The Power of Personal Perception - An Interesting Tale

Ms CYPRAH — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:18:37 EST

I was consulted to facilitate a seminar on diversity to a group of managers in the UK some time ago. With it being on human resource management and the treatment of diverse people in the workplace, I adopted my usual approach to check out perceptions. Plastic bag in hand, with a deliberate air of nonchalance, vulnerability and professionalism, I gingerly approached the receptionist at the venue. I asked for my contact and, while I waited for her, I explained that I was there for a seminar but deliberately did not say in what capacity.

We Made it to Keene

Isaac — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 11:10:08 EDT

So Keene was a good time although it took a lot out of my wife and me. Our day started at five in the morning, doing our best to get clean, get dressed and get coffee before arriving at school for about an hour of prep time and relaxation. Students arrive, we teach the "teenager" as much as we all can handle, whizzing paper and concepts around till the final bell rings. It's now 2:15 P.M. Rachel meets me in the already empty hallway, locking up her room; we rush excitedly to the car and drive around the corner of the building to wait in line for 15 minutes. Students wave, we are stopped in a line of cars and we're sitting by the principle directing traffic; he wishes us luck and a safe drive.

We only have time to for some fast food, feeling guilty and gross we enjoy fries for what must be the first time in months, we try to steer clear unless necessary. The weather is rainy and it's a two hour drive, It's nice though because we get the chance to talk about our excitement and Barack policies and our personal hopes for the future.

We're supposed to be at the Spaulding gymnasium at 4:00 to volunteer and its 4:04 as we're pulling into the Keene high school. We rush in a little flustered, confused as to why there are no signs. The receptionist is packing up to leave and looks a little confused when we mention volunteering but directs us toward the gymnasium. As nice as it is to get a quick walking tour of another high school it becomes clear that something is amiss. We realize we're in the wrong place and franticly return to the car.

Phone calls to the Manchester campaign headquarters ... initially unanswered we assume they’re all in Keene. Rachel starts driving around the high school looking for clues and I call her mother who has computer access, no immediate luck. We talk, a little frantic, about what to do. Rachel’s mom calls back to let us know that we’re supposed to be at the college. At this point our Rachel is upset that it’s rapidly getting later, and we don’t know what to do. After a few more phone calls and eventually getting in contact with headquarters and then volunteer organizers we get cryptic directions and anxiously make our way to the college. Finally we’re here, it’s almost five, but we’re here.

We’re excited, confused and a little flustered; we’re not the only ones. As we look around we see that seems to be the theme. Organized chaos and “hurry up and wait” has us people watching, getting food from Panera, and finally directing the 2,000 plus spectators that arrive to their seats. Green tickets, general admission get the bleachers which overflow, and the blue tickets get the floor.

Over 13 hours have passed since Rachel and I got up that morning we’re physical tired, weighed down by burger grease but we’re excited. The seats are full and murmuring. The mixes of people, again, range greatly from veterans to those young and old; college students making up the majority.

Barack enters to funk, the energy is crackling, and everyone is smiling. Rachel and I drink in the words we finally get to hear from the horse’s mouth, in person. We hear the things we’ve been waiting to hear. Those words, the conversation he’s having with all of us is our reason for being active. It’s our responsibility to make a difference, to be a part of the change, the hope as it is Obama’s to lead us there. An hour passes and Barack wraps it up, taking a final question on healthcare, promising to have universal healthcare by the end of his first term in office. The crowd breaks and as an after thought, our Barack steps up to the microphone again and asks for our vote, but more importantly asks for our involvement. If not in his campaign, then in someone’s campaign. He reminds us that this is our country and our responsibility. He wishes us good night and the 2,000 plus pour out the doors and the press and fans swarm Obama. Rachel and I wait along for him to pass for a photo op, closer look and a handshake. As a prize or gift Obama has agreed to have his picture taken with groups of the volunteers. It’s exciting, and although it was awkward cramped in a stair well with 50 or so other volunteers, it was nice to get up close and have a, hopefully, historic memory made.

Our work almost done, Rachel and I help stack chairs and then bring a sign outside and wait for it to be picked up. It’s now 10:00 and we have two hour drive to get home, and another 5:00 morning, more papers, more concepts. We’re tired, but very happy, very excited to be doing our part by being a part.

The guy with a podcast is running for President

Paul Allison — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:22:51 EST

I teach "New Journalism" as a small 6-12 school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan at East Side Community High School. One of my goals is for students to get connected to vital issues of the day, and to do it through blogs and podcasts.

I provide my students with an OPML file that contains about 15 podcasts that are mostly short in nature: NPR's Story of the Day, for example, but also Davey D's Breakdown FM and Emo Girl Talk. I want them to listen to a range of podcasts.

One of the podcasts on this list since last year has been Barack Obama's podcast, often recorded humbly at his desk, but also including speeches and more prepared material. Whatever the feeling is about how genuine Barack's podcast is, my students have enjoyed his usually bi-weekly conversations about issues of the day. It has allowed them to connect to a politician.

Imagine that! A group of African-American and Latino youths connecting to a politician!

Recently one of my students came to me saying, "Did you see that guy with the podcast is running for President? I saw him on T.V. last night."

It's all about keeping it personal.

Today's the day

Tim for Obama — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 10:19:45 EST

I tend to keep quiet about who I'm voting for. Not any more.

Today Obama is announcing his candidacy for POTUS. I wish I could be out there, standing in the freezing cold cheering section in Springfield, Illinois. Right now I'm typing feverishly in my apartment in Brooklyn -- launching this personal page for Obama's campaign.

Maybe you already support Obama, or maybe you don't. Maybe you're surprised that I made up my mind about Obama so early in the campaign. Or maybe you knew me a few years ago in Virginia, and now you're curious, like, what happened to Tim?

I don't pretend to know everything about Obama. But after reading his books and seeing lots of interviews and media reports -- many positive, others negative -- I think Barack Obama is a better person and a better leader than anyone else in the race.

Election Day is a long way off -- Tuesday, November 4, 2008 -- and there's plenty of time for questions. Thanks for dropping by. Please feel free to add a comment.
