Daytona for Obama
About the Author
Local Activists will discuss and help the Obama candidacy

In our fundraising efforts to attend the Democratic Convention in August, we've decided to focus on a small donor campaign. We figured out that it'll take us 240 people contributing $25 each for us to reach what we need to go to Denver and provide you with the best convention coverage in America. So far, we have the equivalent of 60 ($1500), leaving us 180 to go. Anyone reading this should be able to donate $25 to help us get there.

(BTW, if you want a preview of our Denver coverage, check out our Netroots Nation 2008 Coverage).

Great idea President Bush and fellow corportists!

Let's drill and get more oil to take care of our crisis instead of faster development of alternative sources.

Let's see, oil is carbon based, let's burn more of it, create more CO2 product, enhance global warming!

Wow, why didn't the people of the earth think of this sooner!
Good morning Dem and Obama Family.

It's just surprising to see the amount of attacks, complaining, and negative bias against Obama on this 'Democratic Party' DNC web page.

This is one of the best candidates the Democratic Party has produced in the last 60 years and those of you railing on this web page against him, well, remember the saying, be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

Obama is the new understanding of american content, dreams, hopes, principles, and aspirations that have been been missing in politics for generations and i'm not sure it 'must' be associated with any one formal 'party', a faction of which seems intent on 'radicalizing' and 'polorizing' the once faithful democrats.

This is a time to stand for Democratic principles and the chosen presumptive nominee of that Party.

Beware radical and liberal zealots (railing on my brother and myself here), for i fear we could loose Obama as 'ours' to the masses of hopeful citizens that are re-awakening to politics and an understaning of patriotism.

It seems the time has come to just ignore the 'radical' postings on this site and withhold any comments or ratings for them. The only interest they will receive is from other 'discontents' and most will move on to sites where rabblerousing is in vogue.

We have a positive message and job to do for Barack Obama and this site can be a major factor in that effort.

Hope you all had a very outstanding Independence Day Holiday!!

YES WE CAN!!
Good Morning Dem and Obama Family!

Waiting for the tally of the great Unite for Change and Make an Impact in June donations you generous folks made..

YES WE CAN!!
This month Barack Obama is going it without big donor lobby money and without public financing. He's going to do it with us, the small donor.

So, it's up to us, please help. Here's our group's fundraising page for Barack.

Here's the campaign's info:

Tonight is the crucial financial reporting deadline for June.

Together we are setting a new standard for how presidential campaigns will be organized and funded.

For the first time in a generation, a presidential campaign is putting staff in every single state for the general election. Our staff and the Obama Organizing Fellows are getting to work right now to build on grassroots energy in all 50 states.

And -- unlike John McCain -- we're going to do it without contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs that have held too much power for far too long in this country.

Hello Obama and Democratic Family!

Good Morning Obama and Democratic Family!

Great weekend of Unite for Change upon us!!

We had an outstanding Voter Registration Training event yesterday afternoon to kick off our Unite for Change weekend and learned our Florida law, got the process down pat, met some great Obama people, and we're now setting up some voter registration sites!

Hope you all have a great UNITE FOR CHANGE weekend!!

YES WE CAN!!
One of the key things that we should start to do as activists is expand our playing field when it comes to thinking of elections. Howard Dean's 50-state strategy and Barack Obama's commitment to fighting in every state and territory have produced results that show us this approach is one that can lead to positive change. It can give candidates a chance to win who might not otherwise do so, it can send a message to Republicans that places they have assumed are theirs by birthright must be earned and it can sap Republican resources and make them spread their spending and activity to places they usually wouldn't bother to worry about.

A first step we can take down this road is to support good candidates in supposedly red districts. Frequently this will mean spending money outside your own congressional district. If we only focus on our own districts, we'll never be in the majority, we need to work together to change the state, not just our own backyard. And the more candidates we help and the more candidates we help win, the more our congressional delegation will owe progressives when it comes time for them to vote on things like the recent FISA/telco immunity fiasco. Like it or not, politics works on the you-scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours level a lot of the time. If we scratch their backs with our votes, our voices and our checkbooks, they'll have to scratch ours.

At the recent Jefferson-Jackson fundraiser in Hollywood, I met a candidate in this exact situation.   Read More »

Friend --

Barack Obama recorded a video message with an important announcement that he wanted you to hear first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snsnqbq_OCo

We have made a crucial decision that will impact how we compete in the general election, and it's important that you understand the decision, its implications, and the challenge ahead.

Please take a moment to watch the video.

Thank you,

Obama for America

Anyone know why i can't write a comment on the posts on the main blog?

Every time i try to post a comment it says i must sign in (i'm already signed in to partybuilder) and then 'set name'. When i put in a name it always goes to an error message 'Website can not display page' ??

This has gone on for 3 days now that i've tried.

Any ideas?
Good Morning Democratic and Obama Family!

Great day to get organized to BE SURE we elect the next Democratic President of the United States,, BARACK OBAMA!

We have some local Voter Registration Training events going on this weekend to get a possee of voter registration personel to counter that old republican smear campaign this time.

Anyone with us???
