ARTISTS FOR OBAMA

If you are supporting and voting for Barack Obama ~ consider an investment in the artwork here. I found a coupon that gave me a 15% discount tonight ~ and I include it below for you to try as well. The shipping cost me $12.08 in addition to the $51 of the one I chose to purchase. The donation goes to the Obama-Biden campaign. The direct link at the bottom of this post goes to the Obama-Biden campaign. I have no connection other than I am voting for Obama-Biden.

"When I was invited to contribute the first all-typographic poster to the Artists for Obama collection, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with the text of his stirring speech, "A More Perfect Union." Barack Obama is a leader unique in the history of our nation, who not only understands but embodies what it means to be an American in the 21st century: not only to reflect on our rich heritage, but to embrace our possibilities."

"From the moment I heard about the possibility of Barack Obama running for president, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen. Hope was back in the eyes of not only a nation but the entire world. And the closer we get to this dream becoming a reality, the more inspired I feel to contribute. So I am truly honored to have been invited to design this poster. The idea behind the artwork was to create a portrait of Obama using the words he stands for. Over twenty thousand of these words are carefully arranged in different sizes and colors to create an entirely typographical image. I hope this motivates you as much as he has motivated me."

"I volunteered my time because I believe in Barack Obama. One of his special qualities is his ability to listen as he inspires change. My image is an expression of this important dialogue with the American people. "OBAMA'08" is formed by outer energy, the red, white and blue of America. "OBAMA'08" is also the center that inspires the energy of an American environment of change."

Although years in the works, "HOPE" was brought to a passionate finish by Robert Indiana in support of Barack Obama, who he hopes will be our next President. Robert Indiana, American artist and sculptor of the ionic "LOVE" sculpture, has donated all proceeds from the print and the various HOPE products made for the campaign to Barack Obama's run for Presidency and, while he generally stays in the world of art, he finds this election a critical one that will dramatically impact America's future. He encourages people to take a stand and vote Obama.

WE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT YOU ~ JOIN THE TEAM FOR OBAMA AND BIDEN


NO TIME TO BE OVER CONFIDENT

I was volunteering in New Hampshire the week prior to their primary. The polls all said Barack Obama was going to win. But he didn't. And at the Primary Party, we got excited watching the jumbo tron as the trailing per centage inched closer to Hillary Clinton in some moments.

Last Call for Change -- Get InvolvedThe McCain campaign is flooding swing voters with "robocalls" -- automated phone calls smearing Barack's character.

These dirty tactics hurt America by distracting voters from the issues that matter.

Just one phone call from you is enough to counteract dozens of these dishonest "robocalls." You can help a supporter find their polling location or reassure a voter who needs to hear the truth about Barack.

This weekend, join your neighbors at a Last Call for Change phonebank near you. All you need to do is bring a cell phone - and some friends if you'd like and click the Get Involved link.

The automated "hate calls," as John McCain once called them, won't reform health care or make our economy fair again. They will only mislead voters with lies and distortions.

The voice of a supporter like you will always be much stronger.

I hope you'll take the time to join us and make these important calls.

Find a phonebank in your community and sign up now to reach out to potential supporters in crucial battleground states.

It's up to us to show that this grassroots movement will do what it takes to change politics in America.

Thanks for everything you're doing,

P.S. -- Next Wednesday, October 29th, supporters like you are hosting Last Call for Change parties in their homes all across the country.

You can bring together your friends and neighbors to call voters -- and watch a special 30-minute TV appearance by Barack. Learn more and sign up to host a Last Call for Change party today:
