Name: Robert Williamson on Mar 25, 2008Comments: Serious, sweeping change is desperately needed --everything is at stake -- our Constitution, our freedoms, our country, our world. Even with odds this great, it is possible to see Barack Obama as the lightning rod for a gentle revolution. He has the intellect, fortitude and vision to make America whole and vital once more.Flag

Name: Paul Fish on Mar 26, 2008Comments: While I am against the folly in Iraq, I support further efforts to stop Bin Laden in Afghanistan, so for that I am not "anti-war." However, the most important issue for me is restoring the majority of our most progressive document the Constitution which has been so decimated by the NeoCon Reagan Revolution of these past 30 years. That is paramount.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Mar 26, 2008Comments: This is really in the spirit of the North Bay, CA, where I live. Incidentally, can someone please shed some light on why Lynn Woolsey has endorsed Hillary Clinton, "the anti-anti-war candidate," in defiance of the ENTIRE North Bay's vote The 6th District of Sonoma and Marin Counties very much were won by Senator Obama. Lynn is well-respected here but this amounts to an egregious disconnect between the bar-setting area of progressivism, where the Birkenstock Factory was just down the freeway, and that old dixiecrat Clinton. This area is just on FIRE for Barack. Lynn needs to follow sway publically. It's a bit embaressing. Looking forward to more. Barbara's article come out only a few days after I had tried to assemble a grab bag of the same information online, culling from the Mother Jones Article in September. It is terribly disturbing information, I feel. Barack Obama has made me want to vote. That is profound. I am essentially a willful non-participant in our voting system for many years, unaffiliated with any party but always voted Democratic when I've outvoted some Republican or another. The issues being discussed by the candidates are, to me, important, yet not as important as the things that initially drew me to Barack -- habeus corpus, government ethics and transparency reform, an address of racism in law enforcement, ending deportations and the DREAM ACT proposition, Obama's stance on the Middle East, particularly with regard to the situation between Israel and Palestine, and even personal things like Michelle Obama's commitment to organic foods (while Hillary Clinton's name is synonymous with bovine growth hormone through her Monsanto ties). Endorsements like the Nation & Ben & Jerry's have impressed me. Barack impresses me. He quells my inner cynicism and makes me think that reform is possible in a system I have viewed as absolutely corrupt. I trust this island boy more than I've ever trusted any politician, and as an activist myself, I've done a lot of work for him. He is the only one who can seat progressives in the White House in a meaningful way. I do believe he is post-partisan and as I told someone earlier, a colleague who is a professor of critical theory (my own thrust... I'm only a TA)... he represents a post-Cartesian grey zone and moves beyond the binary, which is where American Politics have gotten stuck. Barack Obama, the Poststructural President. We are blessed. Such a neat group.Flag

Name: Amy Manuel on Mar 26, 2008Comments: Barack Obama will be a great president. He has shown incredible leadership skills with his speech on race. We do not need Corporate Clinton trying to prove she's tough by starting a war with Iran. If either Clinton or McCain win, we run the risk of war with Iran. We can not afford the 2 wars already started by Bush/Cheney. A third war would bancrupt the country for certain. The Progressive Populist Caucus will distribute flyers at our county convention. These will promote the takeover of the people of the Democratic Party in Texas. It is a grassroots movement to take back the party from the corporate goons that took over in the 80s. Democratic Progressive Resume: *2006 Democratic candidate for Denton County Commissioner * Founded Carrollton/The Colony Democrats * Member of Texas Democratic Women * ACLU. * PFAW * Volunteer Lobbiest for Planned Parenthood * Hosted Fundraisers for Texas Equal Access Fund * Volunteer Survivor Advocate for Denton Friends of The Family * Democratic Precinct Chair 2004 through 2007 * Delegate to the Texas State Democratic Convention in 2004 and 2006 * Intend to be an Obama delegate to the National Democratic Convention in 2008Flag

Name: Anonymous on Mar 26, 2008Comments: Let's stand across America to show just how powerful and numerous we are. Proposals are on the Obama website, but it doesn't seem to be getting much traction. Let's get it on Huffpo and other popular blogs, even if MSM is ignoring us.Flag
