Obama4President!
Barack Obama and I are committed to changing the political process by building a campaign built on a broad base of support from ordinary Americans.
I've set my own personal fundraising goal for the campaign, which you can see in the thermometer to the right.
Will you make a donation to help me reach my goal?

10 Reasons to Support Barack Obama
by Sabrina Akhtar
1. He is the only presidential candidate who voted against the war in Iraq, his foreign policy record shows he voted for bills that plan to end the war in Iraq, gradually withdrawing troops, engage in diplomacy with Iran not war. He is against torture/abuse of any kind of criminals whether at home or abroad.
2. His campaign did not take one penny from lobbyists or corporate interest groups
3. Provide universal health care, nearly 47 million americans lack healthcare coverage, his health care plan helped 3 million children in the state of Illinois.
4. Obama has plans for our energy independence and creating more jobs from clean (clean fuel, alternative fuel) technology.
5. Tax relief for the middle class by providing "making work pay" tax cut. Expand child & dependent care tax credit as well as expand the earned income tax credit (EIC), which he implemented in the state of Illinois that provided 100 million of tax cuts to families
6. Help small business succeed by cutting self employed tax, providing health care for those who has their own business, eliminate capital gain taxes for start-up business, expand loan programs for small businesses.
7. Create universal mortgage credit which means more Americans will be able to afford to buy a home, for ex: his 10 percent credit will benefit an additional 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.
8. Make math and science education a national priority. Improve our education in schools by providing K12 plan-incentives for good teachers, support college outreach programs, tax credit for college students & their families which will make going to community colleges absolutely tuition free.
9. Invest in sciences & technology -- Obama will double federal funding of basic research & innovation.
10. And lastly, he began a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels.
