I am an educated African American female from Kansas. I just turned 30 years old in September, and SUPER TUESDAY was the first time that I had EVER participated in the Kansas Caucus. I usually just wait until November rolls around to vote, but this year is different. This year there is a more than qualified man that is running for presidency, by the name of BARACK OBAMA. He has proved that he has an excellent chance in representing our country. With my decision in backing Barack, it deals with him as a person and what he can do this this country. Not his ethnic background, not where he’s from, not the fact that his WONDERFUL MOTHER is from KANSAS (yea) :o), but him as a person and the front lines experience that he has. I am highly impressed that he has spent many years as an organizer, working hand in hand WITH the people and helping the people that need it most. To me, that IS the most important thing… especially now that there is a candidate that can relate to the American people, he can appeal to the young, the old, the rich, the middle-class, the poor, educated and uneducated, the black, white, brown, yellow, blue, orange… (you get my point)!

This is my first time, EVER, being so excited about an election. I have donated money to the campaign (first time ever doing that), and had one of the best nights of my life during the Kansas Caucus on Super Tuesday. It was an unforgetable moment, that has already taken place in history, and my voice is still hoarse from yelling so loudly, it was as if I won the lottery, I was so excited to be there in support for Obama. One of the organizers at the site in my district said this was the largest crowd, he has seen. He said during the last primary they held, only 40 people showed up. At our district… they had 560 Barack Obama supporters and Hillary had around 240 something. I cannot remember the exact Hillary number… when it comes to her, she doesn’t excite me and make me want to “move mountains.” I do believe that Barack Obama can and will be the answer to many of the problems that we have within the youth community. When he speaks… people listen, and take action. When some of the other candidates speak… many of the youth… me included… just change the channel and do not wish to participate! Although Hillary would be my choice if Barack was not in the race, I do know that I do not want to have a leader that will sit and cry if something tragic happens. I want someone to remain calm and work to get the situation resolved and call on the American people to pitch in to help heal that situation, if it is a natural disaster such as Katrina, or the tornadoes that hit the nation, etc.

I have worked as a college recruiter the past 8 years of my life. I truly understand the importance of education within the country and know the fact is… many people don’t have a chance to go to college. I’ve heard many arguments and debates about people saying it’s a choice, everyone can go if they want to go… and that is not entirely true! I’ve literally seen students go homeless because they are trying to pay tuition to stay in the college or university they attend. I’ve seen families sacrifice eating, paying electricity bills, skim on many other important necessities in order to pay the rising college prices, so their children can have a chance. I once worked for a college that cost $19,000/yr. and they didn’t even have air conditioning in the residence halls. What are these students paying for, and why aren’t there programs that can help to pay these rising costs for those that don’t qualify for a decent aid package!? When I hear Barack Obama talk about those situations with the rising college costs, it hits home, because my mother is one that had made those types of sacrifices so that I could attend and finish college and so that my sister was also able to go to college and medical school where she was the chief resident and now a successful physician in KCK serving a low income community, where many of her patients cannot afford health services! I admire her because often times, she will hold open houses, and free clinics so that people can get checked out without the rising cost of paying an arm and a leg just to get a physical or prescreenings, etc. I believe in Barack’s healthcare plan, and admire his overall gift of being able to unite this country already by telling the world about what he believes can change our nation for the better!

I truly believe that Barack Obama deserves the chance to run this country. It’s been ran so long by the same type of thinking, forgive me for saying, but it’s the same type of BORING thinking that hasn’t gotten the ENTIRE country together talking about politics or giving back to the community, etc. It’s time that we had something different. Everyone talks about change, but Barack Obama lives and breathes the change! He is change and I truly think that you should publicly endorse the candidate of your choice. I do hope that your choice is Barack Obama… but many are wondering what you are thinking. I have heard many talk about how they are going to wait until the National Convention in Denver to come out, but I think the earliest you come out, the more the nation would appreciate knowing, and you could truly help many that are sitting on the fence not sure on who they are going to vote for. Your endorsement of Barack Obama could possibly mean saving our nation from destruction and fear of a positive change!

I have already made a positive change in my life based on Barack Obama. I am the advisor of 3 organizations at the university that I work for, and we have had political debates on our campus about each candidate. We have also planned on getting together as a large group to do community service projects together… there will be more that we will plan, but it’s been through the inspiration of Barack Obama, that many have gotten excited about life again! Although I have voted in the past… I have never cared about an election as much as this one!

I will keep my eyes and ears open to see what candidate you have chosen to endorse, and I do hope this happens SOMETIME SOON!! :o) You are truly respected throughout this county, and your endorsement could make or break someone’s decision. You are a very influential icon! :o)

Thanks in advance for reading my LONG petition, I tend to type fast and free-write my feelings!!! :o)

GOD BLESS…

Kisha

or a nice endorsement

Thank you.

Your leadership and vision are needed to help shepherd the Democratic Party and our nation into a new era. Please endorse Senator Obama for President of the United States. If Bill Clinton had resigned in his last term when the scandals hit you would have been the sitting President in the 2000 election. So much could be different today. For the good of the party and the nation, don’t let this moment pass. Taking us forward will require sacrifice and your endorsement will make all of the difference.

It says something powerful when you have the largest pool of small campaign donors in the history of presidential elections. It says something powerful when you can lure 30,000 ordinary people to a political rally, especially when you do so in a country whose leader doesn’t wear fatigues or put his image on the nation’s money.

If President Obama can accomplish two or three of the changes that candidate Obama has laid out, that would be a vast improvement for the country. But what I’m really rooting for is that he will help rekindle that spirit of civic engagement and community that is the lifeblood of this experiment called democracy. In the end, it’s not about Obama. It’s about us!

Please give consideration to endorsing Senator Obama,

VNN

Would you too have me arrested? I”d like to think not.

I supported you strongly in 2000, and now I strongly support Barack Obama.

Please support Senator Obama now, when he needs it, to secure the Democratic Nominationa and, then, the Presidency.

As I think you’ll agree that, with his cooperative unifying spirit, and his progressive and cosmolitant agent, he’s now our best bet for a U S President that will not only most benefit our country, but our entire planet, as well.

Please support Barack Obama for President

I ask you to endorse Barack Obama, because I believe he has the most promise of any candidate in really fighting for our environment. This question was asked of Obama by a New Hampshire independent voter, and his response speaks volumes:

“If you could make one change in the world, enact one piece of legislation — one thing, that’s all you’re going to get through in your presidency — what would it be?” asked Peter Colby of Rye, N.H.

After thinking it over for a few seconds, Mr. Obama offered this response:

“I would enact a bold energy policy because I think that we could save so much money, engineer such a resurgence in our economy and solve climate change all at one time. And it would improve our national security posture. So you get a three-fer. It helps our environment, our economy and our national security and it would free up resources over time to deal with what I think is the most important domestic issue which is health care, and I think it would help us strategically on the international stage.”

Please support Barack Obama, we need policy change just like we need climate change. Together your voices will promote progress towards a new America.

Please help elect Barack Obama as our next President. Your endorsement would resonate as a sonic boom!

Your words carry tremendous weight and could clinch an Obama presidency. Please consider endorsing the only candidate capable of uniting this country and elevating it to its rightful place.

Thank you.

For the sake of this country, please back Senator Obama

I could not vote for you in 2000 because you were politicking, not speaking your mind. To be frank, you lost the election, not Nader or anyone else. Since then, you have come out and re-endorsed your own ideas -novel! Now, help the Democrats win this year by endorsing a candidate that people like. If Clinton wins the primary, I don’t think that she will win the election. Obama has a much better chance. While he might be inexperienced, at least I don’t get the feeling like the corporate world owns his whole mind -maybe just half of it. Please endorse Obama.

Thank you.

Obama ‘08!!

Please help us come together again.

I remember when I was 11 years old, waiting up all night for the election results in 2000. My family cried that night. now you have a a chance to take back part of what was stolen from you by helping a candidate that America needs.

I also really liked your movie. We’re watching it in my Physics class.

The world is looking up to you… Please,please, please save us all and support Barack Obama for President of the USA!

I was proud to vote for you in 2000 and proud when you won Florida and the Presidency. Despite the Supreme Court’s poor judgment, you have continued to make our nation proud. This is a big thing to ask, but the time has come. Please endorse Barack Obama for President. You are the difference maker and there is no better chance than here and now to support a candidate of unity who will further your ideals and goals, nationally and internationally. Please and thank you!

While it is ultimately your choice to decide who to put your support behind (if anyone) I am asking you to seriously consider endorsing Barack Obama for President of the United States. Only Mr. Obama has what it takes to unit this country and set it on a new course. Your support, if pledged before super Tuesday, could very well determine the Democratic nominee and bring an inspiring hope to this country at a time when it is seriously needed.

Obama is exactly what the USA needs to renew people’s confidence in their country. USA is the most powerful nation in the world, and that isn’t only on the military level. The nationalism spirit needs to be aligned and re-focussed not on war, but on rebuilding the nation… the problems at home… and building the trust back in countries such as your neighbors here in Canada. Obama has the power to inspire people for the better of mankind.. we hear him here on TV.. he is a powerful powerful speaker who moves us every time he speaks.. Never before have we seen a leader of his caliber…. and your passion for the environmental concerns that the Earth faces is extremely important for the world to understand, not just North America. Your work with “An Inconvenient Truth” has inspired many, and there is a “green is in” attitude here in Canada.. it’s amazing.. and your video gave the global green message that was needed… Work with Obama and inspire the World to move forth… together, you guys will be able to reach out to more people than individually. Work together to change the World!!

- You guys have a huge fan base here in Canada… Obama and Gore supporters… we got your back!!!

I voted for your in 2000 and believed in you. I believe that you will make the right decision and endorse Barack Obama for President.

Respectfully,
Amirah Naim
