Help Elect Barack Obama. We can’t afford to lose this.
As my friends and family can attest, I’ve become a full on political junky. I’m avidly reading news sites, progressive blogs, and keeping daily tabs on how polls predict the electoral math. I’m not afraid to admit it’s become an obsession. I’ve followed Obama’s campaign from the earliest days of the primaries, and I’ve been impressed at nearly every turn. This is the first presidential candidate in my lifetime that I’ve truly believed in. I’ve had misgivings about every other vote I’ve cast based on doubts about the candidate’s true motives or abilities. If elected Obama can change the policies and tone in our government in such a way that it can work for us again. I don’t know about you, but I want someone who’s able to consider all sensible options when deciding on the economic, foreign policy, health care, climate change, abortion, and internet issues that will face the next president.
John McCain can’t offer real change, or even straight talk and common sense. His last-ditch strategy is to use the old Bush-Rove tactic of fear and distraction, and to run out the clock without the public noticing he’s a terrible choice. Please watch this video that debunks McCain’s lies and distortions about Barack Obama. Then please forward it out to people you know, especially folks in the following battleground states.
- Ohio
- Michigan
- Virginia
- Florida
- New Hampshire
- Colorado
- Nevada
- Montana
Also, here’s a link to two new Obama videos:

I recently signed up to volunteer for the campaign by calling and canvassing. This video was inspirational in my decision:

one more thing: This site shows an impartial map of where each state is according to the most current polling data. We’ve lost some ground recently, but if we spread the word we can turn some of these yellow and pink states blue.
