I have seen the decline in this country, I served in the armed forces for twenty years to protect this country, I want a president who appreciates my children,s sacfrices of not having a father around all the time because I owed my country for our freedom.  Mr. obama members of the armed forces are not disposable fodder for for the war machine. we love our country and will die for it . waste not want not. Fair winds and following seas . 

For the 1st time in quite sometime i have looked at politics and had a strong sense of hope that things will change for the better for everyone.

I grew up hearing about Hope. Now I’d love to see change.

We believe in change!

African Americans (any disenfranchised minority) and Pitbulls have commonality.  Both groups are stereotyped with negative attributes, both are judged on preconceived notions, and both suffer from biased and unjust discrimination.

Fear mongering, perceptions of genetic differences, societal marginalization, suffering — racism is based on stereotypes and begets the same ugly routine no matter the target!

I am going to go out on a limb. I am going to break my own rule, and make an assumption about you, someone whom I have never even met before. Because you are reading this, I am going to assume you are hungry to make a difference. You are grateful to call this country Home, but believe part of being grateful is a willingness to do the work that will make this country even better. You believe part of patriotism is asking questions and taking a stand when the government no longer represents the people. You already have Hope. Your Hope is what compels you to Act. Every Action you take creates a Change.

Over the course of these past few weeks we’ve been increasingly inundated with phrases like “working class white voters,” “white, blue-collar voters,” or simply “working class whites.”  The rampant use of these stereotyped groups in relation to voting patterns is always used in context with Barack Obama’s candidacy.  However, these attempts to point our divisions within our country among racial lines have failed.

I was a man who was completely disgusted in government and the ability of seeing a politician see past his/her own self fulfillment.  This message is coming from a person that was completely against that power and the corruptness of government. He has that type of presence not like that of a politician, but as of a civil rights leader. A man that isn’t talking about how other people have been through hard times but who has actually experienced that lifestyle.  A beacon of hope. Look into your past and try and understand how progress came about. You… the individuals rising up and realizing that yes WE do have the power to change the world that we live in. YES…..WE…….yes i said….WE CAN.  Simply AMAZING. BARACK OBAMA…  Not only for this country but for the world.  Creating a smaller world not through technology or devices but through breaking down these international wall.  We as a world can come together… And OBAMA IS THE WAY

This project is the result of the inspiration we all feel from Sen. Obama and the positive campaign he is leading.  All of us have been touched in some way and the creative expressions shared by members of this community are amazing.

As a result of the wonderful feedback received to date, it’s time to move into a second phase of Action.  Change starts with hope and inspiration, but it needs action to make it a reality.  Change doesn’t come about just from our leaders.  It’s up to us to act in our individual communities to affect positive change.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

1.  actions that need to take place in your communities
2.  actions that you intend to undertake to make your community better
3.  actions that need the help of others

As this project continues to grow, the Action of the Week will become it’s own section, giving all members the ability to post actions and calls for help to make individual communities better.  Over time, you’ll be able to measure your results and prove that we really are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

I am amazed and delighted to see our youth so involved in politics because of Obama's plea for bringing hope and change to this Nation.  His message seems to cross racial, religious and political lines. We are becoming once again one nation....

Thank you.

I joined the campaign in January as a precinct organizer in Minneapolis.  We turned out 675 people for our caucus on Super Tuesday, and just under 80% voted for Obama!

The week before I found the Will.I.Am video online and was so moved that I brought my laptop to the caucus and set it up at a table outside the hall, playing the video in a loop.

I ran and was elected as an Obama delegate to the state DFL convention in Rochester, MN on June 6th.  I'll be running there as a delegate for the national convention in Denver.  I'm hoping to blog live from the convention, bringing the stories and news from actual delegates. 

So much of this campaign has been about inventing a new future for America, and this site and the online campaign is central to that invention. 

The day Barack Obama takes thew oath of office I know I'm going to cry--part because of all the missed opportunities and part in happiness about my children's future.

We can finally be there.  There is here and here is NOW!

His message of hope returns all its humanity in policy. Barack Obama represents the new frontier of the XXIth century.

As we lift our every voice to sing, the Struggle continues.

When our candidate is elected, I shall fall on my knees and praise The Lord that I have lived to see the day that fulfills so many of my generation's dreams.

Obama ? ...an intelligent man with a big heart and healthy open mind .....just whatthis world need, wish you could come back to Kenya and rule this country too, we so need a man like you.
