Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed.
Obama turned down lucrative job o?ers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law ?rm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia.
Cali let's make the land rumble by volunteering and reaching out to the battleground states like Nevada and New Mexico. Let's give Obama some California Love! And make the McCain camp feel our earthquake! YES WE CAN!!!!
I proudly voted early on October 23rd for OBAMA/BIDEN! I've been calling, knocking on doors, and proudly blogging on the New York Times in support of Senator Obama. I haven't been this inspired for a long time. God bless the candidates and grant us a victory on November 4. Yes we can!
Good luck on Tuesday, you've had my vote since I saw you on Oprah 2 years ago. You are exactly what this country needs. Best wishes always for you and your family.
