Tomorrow is the official kickoff of Vote for Change, an unprecedented 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive. In over 100 cities across America, from Anchorage, Alaska to Miami, Florida, grassroots supporters will hit the streets to register voters. With events planned in every single state, no matter where you live, you can find an event near you.

As Democratic Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas explained,"This could change the face of American politics for decades to come."

Our efforts across the country have already yielded incredible results. According to a recent Associated Press survey, over 3.5 million people registered to vote in the first three months of 2008. Now we're expanding our approach to every single state, as part of a sustained, six-month effort that could reshape the electoral map.  

Most events will begin in the late morning or early afternoon, and will run approximately four hours. No prior experience is necessary, and materials and training will be provided at each location.

There is no better way to start your weekend tomorrow, and no more important work to be done right now than bringing more voters, and more voices, into the political process.

Find an event near you.

He is also the chosen one of the majority of democrats in America. He has more votes, that makes Obama a winner in this democracy.

The people have spoken

On February 19, 2008, US District Judge Amy St Eve issued an order denying the request to exclude statements by Cellini and said the government has submitted enough evidence to corroborate the contention that "Co-Schemer A [Cellini] was "an integral player" in the scheme."

Rezko is widely known to be a bipartisan influence peddler. During his opening statement, Rezko's lead defense attorney, Joseph Duffy, told the jury that Rezko raised money for Democrats and Republicans alike, such as former Cook County Board President, John Stroger, and Representative Luis Gutierrez, Democrats, and former Governor Jim Edgar, a Republican, along with current Governor Rod Blagojevich and Obama, both Democrats.

Duffy told the jurors that Rezko "met Barack Obama when he was in Harvard Law School and tried to hire him" to be the lawyer for his development company. During 2003 and 2004, he said, Rezko helped organize fundraisers for both President Bush and Obama

Well, just don't expect us to accept your collect phone calls from jail after the GOP continues to appoint their Supreme Court justices and all your civil liberties are gone....we'll all be locked up with you and no one will be left. Well, maybe Hillary, but I'll bet that she'll be locked in with us Democrats, too.

So lets get this straight. You feel like McCains values and ideas are closer to HRC's than Obamas? Thats is messed up because McCain is the opposite of HRC on almost every issue making him the opposite of Obama as well.

Why would you put your faith in Hillary and than turn on HER and the Democratic Party by campaigning for McDouchebag.

Hillary just might ask for her bumper stickers back from "supporters" like these. Maybe she'll exchange them for jock supporters?

I am not in the Class of White People but sometimes if I do not tell anyone, they do not notice.

However, I am on a First Class Train with Hillary Rodham Clinton... All Aboard!
  
I'm overcome with joy...

Senator Obama,

Let's keep up the momentum. Constantly creating, thinking, and envisioning better and more effective ways to mold the grassroots coalition for change directly to you and the party.

Take care,
Ray
