Emmitt Smith Endorses Obama in Dallas

Here is a clip of Emmitt Smith endorsing Barack Obama during a rally in Dallas, TX on Wed, Feb 20th.

It's great to see Emmitt stand there and speak of Obama with such passion and conviction. Obama's candidacy has already had a tremendous effect on people across the US. I can only imagine what having him as a President will do for our country.

Light A Candle for Obama during CNN debate

The long awaited Democratic debate will take place tonight at 8pm EST in Austin, Texas. It will be broadcasted on CNN.

Please Light a Candle in support of Obama during tonight's debate. And, please send him some positive energy.

This is a great opportunity for many unknowns to get to know him, particularly the Hispanic community in Texas. His momemtum has proven that the more people get to know him, the more they like him, his message and ideas.

So, don't forget...Light A Candle for Obama at 8pm EST tonight and tune in to the debate on CNN.

Obama on predatory lending


Obama discusses the mortgage crisis during a rally in San Antonio, TX on Tues, Jan 19th. Once he's President of the United States, he will set-up a $10 billion fund to help people remain in their homes. He also plans to continue his fight against predatory lenders.

I get a bit annoyed when I hear someone criticize Obama for not having a plan or any good ideas, only rhetoric. That's ridiculous on many levels! The man has a plan for every pressing issue, and he goes into detail on his website. Check out the issues page.

You can also download your own copy of his 64-page Blueprint for Change: Obama's Plan for America. If you take the time to review it in its entirety, I believe you will have to admit not only does the man have many ideas, he has some of the BEST ideas.

Obama learned politics helping the poor

This is a great article from Newsweek regarding the time Obama spent working as a community organizer in the Southside of Chicago. "When he arrived in 1985, Obama was paid just over $10,000 plus enough money to buy a beat-up Honda."

Breaking News: Teamsters Union Endorse Obama!

Hi fellow Obama supporters!
I am pleased to inform you that CNN has reported the Teamsters Union is endorsing Obama for President of the United States! This union has over 1.4 million members. I'm sure this comes as a huge let-down to Senator Clinton. The Teamsters are longtime supporters of the Clintons. Fortunately, they made a decision based on what is best for our country.
The Teamsters endorsement is great for Obama for a number of reasons. It will certainly help him attract more support from working class communities throughout Ohio. But more importantly, he now has access to a team of volunteers that can assist with phonebanking, door-to-door canvassing and of course, more donations! Fired Up & Ready To Go!!
Here is a quote from the president of the Teamsters:

“Senator Obama understands the challenges working people face every day,”Hoffa said. “He is the candidate in the best position to lead our movement to restore the American dream for working people in this country. Senator Obama will fight for better wages, real health care reform, stronger retirement security, fair trade and an end to the outsourcing of good jobs. He understands the importance of giving workers a voice at work and will fight for strong unions to help rebuild America’s middle class."

17,000 Strong in Dallas, TX

The momentum continues!

Obama gave a rally in Dallas, TX on Wed, 2/20. He attracted (...yes, attracted!) a crowd of approximately 17,000 supporters! Emmitt Smith surprised the crowd with his appearance in support of Obama.

Take a look at the picture below. I have been a political junkie for a while. I entered GSU majoring in Political Science. I cannot say that I have ever witnessed any type of campaign, presidential or otherwise, that turned into an actual movement. This is the most inspiring, energetic and promising movement I have ever witnessed in the US.

















Below is a statement Obama made during the rally. It is pretty obvious he is referring the traditional, mudslinging tactics that have been recently used against him by the"experienced" Washington players, Clinton and McCain.
... "Senator Clinton told us that there was a choice in this race, and, you know, I couldn't agree with her more," Mr. Obama said. "It's not a choice between speeches and solutions; it's a choice between a politics that offers more of the same divisions and distractions that didn't work in South Carolina and didn't work in Wisconsin and will not work in Texas, or a new politics of common sense, of common purpose, of shared sacrifice and shared prosperity."
Disclaimer: I know some may compare this movement to that of the Civil Rights Movement, the Womens' Movement and other calls for change. That may be true. I do not discredit that in any way. However, I did not personally witness or participate in any of those movements. This is a first for me!

Obama wins his 10th consecutive state!

Hi ObamaFans!

I am pleased to announce that Obama has won his 10th consecutive victory in his birth state of Hawaii. Despite the Clintons dispatching their daughter to Hawaii for a 3 day campaigning trip, Obama took the island by a huge margin. He received 76% of the votes, and Clinton walked away with a mere 24%.

The pundits are downplaying this win because Obama was favored in his birth state. However, I must point out...every candidate has a birth state, including Clinton, and I don't remember her winning her own home state by that type of margin.

The reality is..."A change is coming to America"...a lot quicker than most of us expected.

Let's take Ohio AND Texas!! There are many things you can do as a volunteer for the Obama campaign. Here are a couple of ideas:

Phone-canvassing from home: I have been doing this for months now. I really enjoy it. It's super easy. The script is provided by the Obama campaign (although I tend to add my own little swagger to it!), and it can all be done from your own home.

DONATE! - This is major you all! The more we donate, the more the campaign is able to do. And remember, any funds remaining in the campaign after the primary can be used for the general election.

GOTV Trip to Ohio (2/29-3/2) - Bikers 4 Obama is planning their Get Out the Vote trip to Ohio. Join us! If you are located in Ohio please contact us. We would love to meet up with you after we arrive in Chicago.

FIRED UP & READY TO GO!!

Obama in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a blue collar, working class state that is expected to favor Clinton. Over 80% of the population is white, and less than 10% is black. Their voters tend to make less than $50,000 per year and do not hold college degrees.

Regardless of what the pundits say, Obama is campaigning hard in Wisconsin. In our campaign, every vote counts...small and large states. We started to see Obama tap into Clinton's voter base in the Potomac primaries.

Please continue to make calls to Wisconsin, and DONATE whatever you can. We can help Obama sweep the remaining states.

Here is an Obama rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on Saturday... FIRED UP & READY TO GO!!

Michelle Obama graces the cover of Newsweek

The opening of the article seems to be right on point. It reads, "She's the one who keeps him real, the one who makes sure running for leader of the free world doesn't go to his head. Michelle's story."

Michelle Obama has been an absolute inspiration to women and men alike -- drawing diverse crowds of over 1,000 people even when she campaigns on her own. This week's article in Newsweek is a must-read for everyone out there who loves Michelle (which is likely, everyone.)
Check out excerpts of the article here on Obama's official website.
And, if you haven't met Michelle yet, you can meet her here.
