I’m an 83-year old veteran of WW2. I served my country proudly–and willingly–in the war in Europe. After the war, I served my country again, as a tech rep for the U.S. Navy. I am retired now, but I was fortunate enough to have received an excellent education, thanks to FDR and the 1944 GI […]

I am an Australian citizen who over the past thirty years has lived in many different parts of the world - Asia, Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and the US. I consider myself and every other person on this planet to be global citizens. I have always found Americans to be kind, decent and generous […]

I care because he cares!
He cares about being a good example to the young people of today…not just words but actions.
He cares about his family. He has a traditional marriage and nurtures his children.
He cares about bringing hope to we the people that we can become important to Washington…more important than the lobbyists.
He cares about […]

The reason I care about Barack Obama’s campaign is for once I believe here is a politician that cares about his family’s future and ours. I feel that rather I like the answer or not Barack Obama speaks the truth about all things, he does not just give the voters what they want to hear. […]

Barack Obama has shown us through his political campaign that he is dedicated to changing the way America works. I’m sure it would have been too easy to strike back when the attacks from his opponent became both ugly and irrelevant, but he hasn’t done it. He has an entire arsenal of toxic missiles at […]

Obama has the BEST of all qualities that all ages can clearly understand! I am 43 yrs-old and my daughter is 14 yrs-old; we both clearly understand his reasoning and judgment because Obama is the only one who explains with simplicity and applies common sense to everything he says! For the first time in my […]

Because it rises above the normal level of negative rhetoric. I have been repulsed by the negativity of the Clinton campaign. That said if she is the nominee I would support her because more of the same ( Bush 3rd term via McCain) is just not acceptable.
Any Clinton or Obama supporter who would not oppose […]

He leads by example. Simple as that. Politicians have campaigned on change for decades, that is nothing new. What Barack Obama has done is not only to talk about change, but he IS the change, and the entire nature of this campaign is change. No more corporate, fat cat, top-down style of campaigning, this is […]

I am 53, life long Republican. As the mother of a gay son I have become initially disenchanted and then ENRAGED at the far right who has hijacked the party and tried unceasingly to press their religious convictions on not only the party but the world. Their unrepentant loathing for Gays and Lesbians makes my […]

Barack has inspired me to get involve and seek real change. As a register republican I decide to support Barack because I know hes the only one that is not playing the old WASHINGTON tired games. I am tired of all the negativity and lies of my own party. Barack tells you the truth and […]

Senator Obama rises above the theater of politics. We often get lost in political drama like we would get lost in any other show. Obama acts as our reminder of reality and he brings us back down to Earth. He speaks to us as if we were intelligent (imagine!) and forces us to face the […]

I see him as one person trying to bring people together, rather than try to make weird strategies to win votes and power.
I see him as a hope for America and for the world. We need this hope, we need this change right now, especially after all we have seen and lived during the last […]

It is just so fabulous that Barack’s campaign is being financed by us, the Grass rooters! For years I have been bemoaning how can we ever get the selfish, corporate interests to stop affecting our social policies adversely. Finally, the internet is making it possible! I am soooo excited! Go Obama!

What does Barack’s campaign mean to me? I just think about our Forefathers, the writers of the Constitution, and think about how proud they would be of Americans to have come so far as to proudly elect a bi-racial man to the highest office in the Land. A man with a father from Africa, a […]

Senator Obama isn’t just some slick talking politician. He actually deals with real issues for real change. That’s what Americans need. Not tax breaks for people who have enough money to match at least 100 people’s life savings and still be in the top tax bracket. Nor someone who says things just to get a […]

On Meet the Press today, it was suggested that Barack Obama has changed since the beginning of his campaign, that he is somehow less hopeful. The truth is simply that Barack Obama has proven he is tough and hopeful. A leader who listens and weighs all options before jumping to a conclusion. In short, over […]

He makes me proud to be a Liberal, an American, and a Democrat. He is the only candidate I have ever contributed to directly, because he is the only one I have ever agreed with so completely.
I feel very lucky to be part of this time in history. I don’t know if I could have […]

I could not sleep the other night and all that was on my mind was how to help Mr. Obama in his campaign. I don’t know if I am guided by the Spirit but for sure this is what was presented to me:
“If you want to change the world YOU must be the change” […]

The powers that be don’t want to change anything in this country, but the exchange of wealth from our hands to theirs. I feel that Senator Obama is the best person to lead this country and with the support of the American people behind him we will once again become involved in our government. We […]

I am a Howard Dean democrat (I’ve always voted Democratic, of course, but the Dean campaign got me involved in electoral politics).
Initially, I supported Obama as the only viable alternative to Clinton, who’s candidacy I have always opposed.
I have been consistently impressed by Obama’s ability to attract and draw interest from independents, republicans, and democrats.
Certainly, […]

For the first time, I feel that I am voting for ME.
Last year I was a Richardson supporter. I wanted an experienced candidate and he had it. My comment about Senator Clinton was: WHAT experience?? As far as I could tell the Clintons had tried the co-presidency when they got first elected. Hillary made such […]

I am a 60 year old white female with too much education to be Hillary Clinton’s base but otherwise in that demographic.
I have been registered Independent for my entire adult life, but I can’t remember voting Republican ever. I always end up with the Democrat, sometimes without much enthusiasm.
This time it is fundamentally different. This […]

Like many others, my love affair with Barack Obama started in July of 2004 at the DNC. That night was the first time I ever laid eyes on the man and since that night, I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of him. The speech was well written of course, complete with all […]

Dear Greg,
You have been and always will be my true closest friend that I could ever have hoped for. I am finally writing to you now, two years after you left us on April 11, 2006 (what I refer to as 4-11), because I miss our times… watching a game, home improvements, poker nights, BBQ’s, […]

I could probably write a novel about why I am supporting, voting for, campaigning for, and donating to the Barack Obama Presidential Campaign. Someone just asked me yesterday what I like about him, and I nearly talked the guy’s ear off.
The short answer is HONESTY. This is something we stopped expecting from our elected leaders […]

I care about the Obama campaign because this is the first time a nominee has ever made me feel inspired and proud to be from the United States. I’m an avid traveler and I always get this awkward sensation when I travel about hiding the fact that I am an American citizen. If Obama were […]

I am a 50 year old white woman – a stay-at-home mom running an online business in the Seattle area. The issue closest to my heart is a woman’s right to choose, but I also believe we need to focus on issues on the home front, such as improving the economy and providing a strong […]

The current presidential election will definitely go down in history as the greatest presidential battle ever. We have three remarkable senators running: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain. All three candidates would make a remarkable president because I believe that all three have America’s best interest at heart. However, I do believe that among […]
