Barack Obama in Video

... if only more people understood what this campaign is about as Ganz does.

i think this is the right decision

from earlier this summer, but what a great portrayal of what this campaign is about: hope and possibility, not fear. Michelle has her own style, and it's getting stronger as she campaigns more, and i look forward to hearing more of her speak not just for Barack but for herself, and for women, mothers and families. i hope she gets a full hour sometime on Oprah. it could swing the women's vote.

The "Oregon Wants Obama!" fundraising party on June 28th was an unqualified success! We raised $3,645 dollars, thanks to all of your generous support! I Fed-X'd the money overnight to Obama Headquarters, that money was tallied towards Obama's Q2 fundraising numbers.

The realization of this event represented much more than a dollar total, however. It was grass roots organizing at its best. Ordinary citizens coming together and making our voices heard — we said we believe in Obama's vision for America and understand we play a vital role in making it happen. And we had FUN! You should each feel wonderful that you participated and helped move Barack Obama one step closer to the White House.

I am extremely proud to have been involved with this event and met so many dedicated, creative and fun people! Once again, Thank You!
