OBAMA SPEAKS IN IOWA – LED BY PRINCIPLES NOT BY POLLS
PASSION TRUMPS POLITICS EVEN IN POLITICS
“Standing up with courage……”
We need a democratic party that is “…led not by polls, but by principles, not by calculations, but by convictions… summon(ing) the entire nation to a common purpose, a higher purpose…” Barack Obama in Des Moines, Iowa
Before Senator Barack Obama announced that he was going to run for President of the United States of America and our representative in the whole world, I wanted him to run. Now, of course he is running. And he is number two, while Senator Hillary Clinton is poll-wise, number one in the competition.
I stated from the start that I wasn’t Opposed to Hillary Clinton as President, as much as I was For Obama for President. And why? Because he gives me the feeling of inspiration. Hillary does not. We need to get charged up. We need to get fired up. We need to be asked by our politicians to be a part of their elected jobs. And we need to be participants in our government with or without our politicians beckoning us to join them.
The most important office is that of citizen. I heard that quote stated by Barack Obama.
Obama: "Justice Louis Brandeis said 'the most important office in a democracy is that of citizen.' I come from a community-organizing background and a civil-rights background. I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics."
On Barack’s Jefferson Jackson Dinner Speech Saturday night in Iowa the Des Moines Register published
“Excellent…one of the best of his campaign.”

On President Bush’s day of departure out of our White House, I would like to personally hand him a copy of the United States Constitution along with it in audio form. And also, hand him a shredded copy of the Patriot Act.

Be the Champion
your government direly needs you to be
Because the government
has failed us
and so has the "Free" Press
who would rather tell us
about the same stories over and over
instead of telling us the world's news.
There are news outlets on the internet
where you can get global news
that includes better coverage
of what is going on
even in the USA.

But it doesn't work without you and me being proactive.
