Shake Obama's hand, WOW?
Did you get a chance to shake William Ayers' hands? He is so awesome. You know bombing the Pentagon and all. How many people get to do that.
Was Tony Resko there? He could probably show you how to hedge against low real estate prices.
Did you get a glimpse of The honorable and Reverend Wright? I loved it when he said, " Naw naw naw. not god bless America, God D*mn America!"

esnap kewl web link you have bushwackers!
Never met ayers, but I did help with the free speech movement in Berkeley one year in the Oakland Ghetto where I lived. Oh yeah I did community out reach and support for Angela Davis, way before your time I'm sure.
Oh also was on the jury for a Hewie P Newton trial in 73!
So I'm cleaning up my resume you might say, in my more mature years! My repug Auntie is getting a real kick out of it too, but she is 84, although still with it big time!! LOL
I have talked to soooo many super people in Missouri, New Mexico, Arizona and tonight Colorado. Been having a ball! Much better than sitting around and biting my nails, drinking with Joe 6pkg, or shouting out into the darkness. How about you guys?

Thank you for what you are doing! I have a friend who took three weeks off from her law practice in Berkeley to do the same thing. She was supposed to be in Nevada, but they ended up sending her to North Carolina. You guys are paying it forward for us all.
MAHALO!

I shook the hand of a born and raised Hawaiian yesterday at a rally at the University of Nevada, Reno. A Punahou graduate he is, Senator Barack Obama! A record rally 14,000 attended! For Nevada this is an unpresidented number! A few of my impressions for you if you choose.
Aloha au i Hawai`i,

From 2600 miles away I helped someone in Kurtistown register to vote today! An acquaintance, who after studying hard for quite some time, qualified for her citizenship 8 months ago! Now she will be able to vote in an historic election.
Yes people who are civic minded and can make time are traveling great distances to support their beliefs. Devaney every time I hear of or read a disparaging bigoted or racist assault, I get the old CC out and make another donation also! Surely they will forgive my debt, rather like WS! LOL my phantom husband is [:0], but [8D], about it! Hadn't thought about this in the pay it forward context, but I sure loved that movie! Exiting= exciting!

Well another day, another smear and another donation! woo hoo!
I may need an accountant when this is done! LOL Oh, gosh darn that's right little guys like me can't go the bankruptcy route anymore. Medical bills costing people their homes,too bad. Now it's the Wall Street types who are allowed to run a company into the pit and parachute out with say a paltry $349 MILLION!

esnap,
It was refreshing to see your post it shows me that not everyone in Hawaii is taken in by the hype that is being tossed around. Yes Obama will take the Hawaiian vote there isn’t much opposition here, Hell they don’t even have a Republican caucus in Hawaii.

Mella l, after reading this statement the same thing happened to me, It’s just to say the least, flat amazing how it has effected me. Now each night before I go to bed I pray that Obama won’t get into office, maybe this is God’s way of canceling out your prayer.
