            <title>Canvassing tomorrow</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Also, on Wednesday night I ordered some &amp;quot;dope gear&amp;quot; from the Obama store - about 50 buttons, a yard sign, and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Can&#039;t wait to get it!! Hope it comes before election day... &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Obama Store Order - Runway for Change</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;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&#039;t wait to get it. Has anyone ordered it and received it yet?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m a student for the Fashion Instiute of Technology so I can&#039;t wait to wear my designer support gear to get some students motivated and maybe have them buy some stuff too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know the website says 1-2 weeks but its almost two weeks and it still says processing. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>We Are Ready For A Change</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Let&#039;s be very clear about what&#039;s at stake this November. We&#039;re either going to get ourselves back on track or we&#039;re gong to face another round of the same failed policies we&#039;ve had for the last eight years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;m ready for a change. That&#039;s why I&#039;m so excited about Senator Barack Obama. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, here&#039;s what I want you to do. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe we&#039;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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&#039;s a man who knows what America needs are and knows what he&#039;s fighting for. And, with our help, he&#039;ll be a President we can be proud of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Asher Heimermann is a teenager from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. You can learn more information about Heimermann by visiting his official website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.asherheimermann.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.AsherHeimermann.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REMINDER:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;store.barackobama.com&lt;/a&gt;, and shop normally, placing shirts, magnets, or any of our other merchandise in your cart.

Just make sure that you enter GFC08 as the code and enter Asher Heimermann as the Referer.

            <title>15% Obama Store Discount</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I knew Democrats would give generously to my personal fundraising page on BarackObama.com to help me reach &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/asherheimermann&quot;&gt;$5,000 fundraising goal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and my efforts to elect Barack Obama as our next President. I am truly astonished by the response I&#039;ve had over the last few month. With one month left to reach my fundraising goal, I still need to raise $1,000 more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/&quot;&gt;store.barackobama.com&lt;/a&gt;, and shop normally, placing shirts, magnets, or any of our other merchandise in your cart.

            <description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not much of a blogger so I haven&#039;t before now.&amp;nbsp; Kind of late in the game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;What I want to tell everyone about is the great music collection I bought here at the Obama store.&amp;nbsp; It is called &amp;quot;Yes We Can&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; voices of a grassroots movement.&amp;nbsp; Since I have an iPhone and wanted immediate gratification I bought the downloaded version.&amp;nbsp; Yes, it does &amp;quot;Barack&amp;quot; my World.&amp;nbsp; You can get it here and it is a great way to donate as well as rock out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://store.barackobama.com/Yes_We_Can_s/1037.htm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do it -- you won&#039;t be sorry! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>New Poster Design</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;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?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/timmelideo/2769215605/&quot; title=&quot;stand for change by timmelideo, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/2769215605_23ce769342.jpg&quot; width=&quot;393&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;stand for change&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

An elitist son of an elitist president was given the office.&amp;nbsp; Then, in a truly Machiavellian way, he uses an unexpected attack to march the country off to war.&amp;nbsp; It was a story often repeated throughout history.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; How many times must this happen before people get wise to it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;

(And i&#039;m from Florida and it&#039;s summer here already!!!) I have HOPE, I&#039;m getting ready for&amp;nbsp;the fall campaign!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, i have another $50 (now $30) left out of what i&#039;ve taken from my gas money allotment this month and it&#039;s up for grabs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suck at phone calling, i spend 30 min on the line with an Obama supporter having a good time discussing our guy and it should be the undecideds that i spend my time on and on those, i give up way too easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, i&#039;m looking for one of&amp;nbsp;you talented phone people that will make&amp;nbsp;calls to Indiana for Barack donation $$ to your webpage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#039;m watching the blog for takers......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YES WE CAN!! </description>

            <title>Limited Edition Shepard Fairey Prints Now Available</title>
            <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/Artist_For_Obama_s/1018.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://my.barackobama.com/page/-/external_organizing/obama_shep_print_final.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;296&quot; height=&quot;440&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Shepard Fairey, one of the most  influential contemporary artists today, has donated an amazing illustration of Barack titled  &amp;quot;Change.&amp;quot; The campaign will be selling this limited edition print as well as pieces from other artists in the days ahead on &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/Artist_For_Obama_s/1018.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Artists for Obama&quot;&gt;Store.BarackObama.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;Fairey wrote about Barack, &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;We were  honored to have commissioned this limited edition Obama print that you can  purchase at &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/Artist_For_Obama_s/1018.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/&quot;&gt;Store.BarackObama.com&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;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&amp;nbsp;everyone can thrive and I should support him vigorously for  the&amp;nbsp;sake of&amp;nbsp;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&#039;m  delighted I can encourage them to see the merits of Barack  Obama.&amp;quot;  - Shepard Fairey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;To learn more about Shepard Fairey visit&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Shepard Fairey&quot;&gt;Wikipedia.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Store- Obama gear in short supply.</title>
            <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2222/2222683345_c54fbc7575.jpg?v=0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; &lt;p&gt;Success presents it&#039;s own set of challenges, and I&#039;m not complaining about Barack&#039;s strong support, but it is creating some&amp;nbsp;big challenges&amp;nbsp;at the Store.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First off, it probably doesn&#039;t need to be said, and folks responsible are probably embarrassed about not planning adequately for success but just to make sure this critique is heard:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let&#039;s learn from this and line up secondary surge suppliers now in case there are further supply problems in the future.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&#039;s not let Barack down through poor planning and poor execution.&amp;nbsp; I don&#039;t know what the problems were in this particular situation, but jumping from product to product telling me that I can&#039;t count on anything for 2 to 3 weeks- it sure does look like bad planning for contingencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I understand there are probably a lot of issues behind the admonition not to print our own Obama material, but really- why tie the hands of the grass roots?&amp;nbsp; I can get bumper stickers done in a few days- a little longer for T shirts.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We need visibility now, not just a few days before our primary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Newsweek - Fundraiser of the Day</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Barack on the cover of Newsweek is a sight to behold. The photo, choice of typeface, color scheme... all striking. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So here&#039;s my fundraiser idea of the day - buy 2008 copies of the issue, have Barack sign and number them, sell them in the store for $100 or $500 each. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Whoo-Hoo for I-O-W-A!!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was soooo happy that Barack took Iowa the way he did. He not only squeeked by, but won by such a margin that no one can say it was by a nose, a toe, a foot, or any other body part! Okay, bad analogy probably, but I was so proud of my birth state. I knew it wouldn&#039;t take long before they saw what I saw when I first watched Mr. Obama speak. It was a moment that reminded me of the stories my mother told me about RFK and JFK. He&#039;s so real. So authentic. That goes a long way in Iowa. I&#039;m still amazed to watch him speak. A politician who can actually answer a question instead of figuring out ways to talk in circles around it. I&#039;m so relieved we have a candidate we can really stand behind instead of having to choose the lesser of the evils.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I tried to buy some tees in the store. It didn&#039;t go through. I heard that there was some major traffic that way today. Did anyone hear if that caused problems with the system? It kept booting my choices from the cart.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I still would like some information about what happens in primary caucusing. Anyone able to inform me? Can everyone attend if they are registered to vote, or do you have to be a party member? Are other issues or candidates dealt with, say at a local level? I&#039;ve never participated in that stuff before.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Stickers, T-Shirts, Signs</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I hate to ask this of other Barack Obama volunteers and supporters but I&#039;m looking for campaign t-shirt (Size L). If I can&#039;t get a t-shirt then I would want some stickers and signs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would pay for these things but I just turn 14 and there is no way for me to pay for these things and there is no one that I know that can get these things for me. I&#039;m a Barack Obama supporter and volunteer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve done everything to support Barack and his campaign. Everytime I call the HQ, they tell me I have to buy. Sometimes, I think others don&#039;t need to buy a t-shirt. It makes me sad that I can&#039;t even get one t-shirt or sign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are willing to help me out, please e-mail me at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:asher@asherheimermann.com&quot;&gt;asher@asherheimermann.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>Just got some items today from the Obama store.&amp;nbsp; A brief look at the mailing label made me smile: the return address of the store is 1000 Progress Street.&amp;nbsp; That is just too cool!</description>

            <title>In The Interest of Campaign Finance Honesty</title>
            <description>I have to say how impressed I am by the virtue of the Obama campaign. Over the years I have supported many presidential candidates that I believed strongly in. I have never been more moved by a candidates campaign than I was this morning when I visited the Obama store. In red letters at the top of the page (the very first thing a shopper sees) is the following disclaimer:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   &quot;An individual may contribute up to $2,300 per election (the  &lt;br /&gt;
    primary and general are separate elections). This limit &lt;br /&gt;
    includes contributions made through the Obama Store. If you &lt;br /&gt;
    have already made the maximum contribution and would like &lt;br /&gt;
    Obama merchandise, please contact Obama for America at (866)&lt;br /&gt;
    675-2008.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have seen similar disclaimers before HOWEVER they are usually in very small print, often italicized and hard to read and always buried on a page where it may or may not be readily available to the public. This kind of up front, make the public aware, lack of deception and subterfuge is exactly the reason I am supporting Senator Obama for president. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senator Obama&#039;s campaign is doing what the American people have been clamoring for, for at least the last fifty years; adhering not only to the letter of the law but also to the spirit in which that law was intended. Thank you Senator Obama, and thank you to your support staff for making sure that your campaign is run, on every level, with the dignity and honest we expect from our candidates and ultimately our president.

            <title>Wearing it on your sleeve</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I was wading through the Obama for America website today, when I stumbled across some really cool new stuff in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)&quot;&gt; Obama Store&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/photos/TS00045-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; hspace=&quot;8&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; First, let me tell you that the store itself blows me away-- just last year, I was buying my political merchandise from for-profit distributors and sidewalk salespeople.&amp;nbsp; The products on this website are clearly a step forward in visibility organizing, and I&amp;#39;m excited to see how many people will shop at the store. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I&amp;#39;m thinking about buying one or two t-shirts to wear this summer.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m really leaning toward the new slogan shirt: &amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/product_p/ts00061.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)&quot;&gt;Got Hope?&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; But for my sister, I like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/product_p/ts00045.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)&quot;&gt;Obama face&lt;/a&gt; t-shirts or maybe the &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/product_p/ta18075.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)&quot;&gt;tank tops&lt;/a&gt;... decisions, decisions! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d wear the shirts just to help get the word out about the campaign, but there&amp;#39;s a couple other good reasons for shopping at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://store.barackobama.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; onclick=&quot;return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)&quot;&gt; Obama Store&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; First of all, these products are made by union workers in the United States.&amp;nbsp; And second, every dime spent at the store counts 100% as a contribution to Obama for America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Bought my bumper stickers today!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I bought bumper stickers for our cars today -- $15 including shipping.&amp;nbsp; Way overpriced, but it&amp;#39;s worth it to start the ball rolling for Barack here in North Carolina.&amp;nbsp; Even though Barack is being described in the media as a front-runner, I think at this stage there are many voters who need to &amp;quot;give themselves permission&amp;quot; to support a person of color and a newcomer to federal government as a candidate for President.&amp;nbsp; Early visible support for Barack at the local level will be key to enabling others to make this step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish we could put up a yard sign, but our neighborhood association forbids it.&amp;nbsp; Another indicator of the sad state of our democracy when the private value of property rights trumps the public value of civic engagement.&amp;nbsp; I hope Barack&amp;#39;s campaign (and service in the White House!) will restore the public discourse we so desperately need today.  &lt;/p&gt;</description>
