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.

After many discussions with my red state family i wrote a song about why I'm ready for the change an Obama presidency will bring to our country that i'd like to share with you. It's called Change - you can listen to it at www. myspace. com/mattisand - i'd be happy to get feedback on it. Obama has encouraged me to express my views, he's reminded me that for our nation to prosper we've all got to contribute in a positive way. I am happy that my red state family, and my red state are willing to listen - i think they are both bluer than people think.
Barack Obama promises to honor the best traditions of both parties. He has inspired us, he has raised our hopes and rallied us to higher purpose. He gives us the ability to TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY..!
The time is now! Fight with us! Fight with all you can muster! Let us blow past the walls of ignorance and intolerance!
The choice is clear; our cause is just; and now is our time to make Barack Obama the next President of the United States. Like Reagan once said, "If not us who? If not now when?"
I would like to volunteer to assist with the campaign of our next President, Barack Obama and next Vice President, Joe Biden. I did register on barackobama. com.
I would like to help get the word out and help turn Idaho from a red state to a blue state.
REMEMBER THE LOCKBOX!!! (Or, Fiscal Conservatives. . .Who?)
John McCain’s new TV ad claims Obama will “increase government spending.” AMAZING!! Have we forgotten the 2000 election when Al Gore was ridiculed for using the phrase “lockbox” to describe his intentions for the extraordinary SURPLUS created during the previous 8 years of democratic leadership? (The question is, of course, rhetorical). Incidentally (and kinda importantly), those surpluses coincided with nearly a decade of consistent, sustained, and unseen for a century – PROSPERITY.
While its allocation among taxpayers is to be seen, the titanic deficits ARE a tax. It will be paid. The Republican’s successes give us some indication of the nature of the deficit’s allocation if it is left to Republican devices. Yes they have had their successes. While New Orleans was drowning and they couldn’t find a way to get a Power Bar to the Superdome, a Republican congress successfully passed a sweeping tax cut for the wealthy. (Although they wouldn’t use the term, their “trickle down justifications” sounded a lot like what we had come to call “voodoo economics.” Of course, the widening income gap (the super wealthy are getting super wealthier <–> while the rest of us struggle) suggests the cash has actually been TRICKLING UP). Rhetorically: Who do you think they are going to allocate the deficit to? And btw, NEWS FLASH: It hasn’t helped the economy. . . at all.
So,
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!! REMEMBER THE MAINE!!!
And, when someone suggests democrats are fiscally irresponsible, tell them to:
