Three Simple Things You Can Do Today to Make Barack Obama the Next President of the United States
January 31, 2008
By now, you’ve probably realized that Andy and I are both very much in favor of Senator Obama. If you are, too. Here are three simple things you can do to help him get elected president.
- Vote in the MoveOn.org primary. If you’re a member of the progressive MoveOn.org site, be sure to vote for Senator Obama in their primary. Getting MoveOn to throw their weight behind Obama will help in major Super Tuesday states, especially California.
- Check out YouBama and link to their videos.
- Put up an Obama bug on your sidebar to show your support, just like the one we’ve posted.
Hi Teresa,
1. Done.
Any idea when/how we’ll find out who MoveOn is endorsing?
For what it’s worth, I’m not a big fan of MoveOn. They were quite shrill at Berkeley and they leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. I’m practical enough to know, however, that they influence a very large group of voters in California.
2. Intriguing. I’ve watched several of Obama’s speeches on YouTube - the incredible part is how popular his videos are. Most political videos don’t get many views, but Obama’s videos - wow.
3. If I actually did anything with my blog, I might… ugh. I need someone who knows what the bloody hell they’re doing with a blog to teach me what to do with it (like you. lol. I know, I know). I really don’t have time for the endless fiddling involved in setting one up….
Anyhow, thanks!
Yes! I’m so glad to see you promoting my personal soapbox of the day. Thank you.
You see, I can’t understand why we, as citizens, want and expect our elected officials to work together while they are in office, yet we aren’t willing to do the same, or so it seems…
Whenever something important happens in D.C. and you hear, “both sides of the isle are on board here, etc” blah blah, but you know what I’m talking about….we are happy and we say, “see how great it is when we work together…”
Then, here comes an election and WTH happens? Bickering, fighting, spewing…ok, I mean, I understand the two party system, this is going to be inherent, but still…as citizens, doesn’t it seem like we can, especially in the age of web 2.0, figure out a common ground and say, hey, here we are, let’s work together to get the best person in office, then work together to make the world the best world it can be…equality and justice are the themes, right?
Perhaps I’m just too optimistic and too naive, but I think that what I am, rather, is visionary and that what we need is to get the message out that it will be ok to work together and basically, take it four years at a time….
Sure…it is a message of hope, sure it’s just me going off about what I see as best for the people of the world, but isn’t that also what the world wants? Who wants a world full of death and war and crime and drug abuse Inot use, abuse, two separate issues) and poverty and all of that…? Huh? who are they? Are they going to speak up? NO. Who are the extremists? Who are those that would prefer “theirs” only, as opposed to ours? The most likely candidates are facist zealots…and where do they tend to lie, demographically? Please those of you in the middle, and on the middle right…give four years a chance. Do not let the chance that a zealot or facist will lead this “free world” for another four years…eight years has been long enough…

Caucus for Obama on Feb 9th!
That’s another thing you can do.
Ah, it’s even on a link on your blog: MoveOn endorses Obama, 71% to Clinton’s 29%. Fantastic!
