Obama wants YOU to help form a platform for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Every four years, the Democratic Party assembles a platform that outlines the party's position on a number of issues.

Traditionally, the drafting of the platform is not open to ordinary people.

This year, that's going to change.

For two weeks in July, people all across America will hold Platform Meetings in their own communities to discuss the issues and share their input. The outcome of these meetings will be reviewed by the Drafting Committee as it creates the final Platform.

No political experience is required. Your thoughts and experiences are all that matter, and they will shape a platform that -- like this party -- is owned by the people.

This year, ordinary people like you will gather in their homes, community centers, places of worship, and even coffee shops to discuss the issues that matter to them and help decide what should be at the heart of the Democratic platform for change.

The input we get from these meetings will help shape the platform at the Democratic Convention in August.

Platform Meetings are a great way to connect with fellow supporters and help write the next chapter in the history of the Democratic Party.

We'll make sure you have all the resources and support you need to succeed. All you need to provide are your ideas for America and your hunger for change.

To get started in your community, just log onto My.BarackObama.com and go to our Platform Meetings page. (If you don't have a My.BarackObama.com account, creating one is simple and easy.)

I hope you'll take advantage of this opportunity to make your voice heard in the political process.

Thank you for all that you do,
Barack Obama

:kick:

he wants to win.
I think he will win. He will win and McCain will most certainly lose to him.
I am humble enough to know that I don't have a clue when it comes to what sells in Peoria.
I know what I stand for, what (I think and believe) is right, what is just.
I don't know what is politically popular. I don't know what sells.

But I thank him for being willing to include me.
I think I'll even host a party for him.

If he wins will he meet other fine souls?

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.

is just the beginning of mind prep making things appear close.

Do you actually believe this?

i do believe it is a crime to threaten the life of a presidential candidate, no?

it should at least be on record. No, I would not take it to the Ag Office, but the very least, the FBI. and if I'm not mistaken, you can do it right on line at the FBI website.

It will still be "hear-say evidence in court. The Secret Service, Homeland Security and the NSA read DU anyhow! I don't know if the FBI watches us here yet!

:shrug:

our 4th Amendments rights?

oh yeah, sorry, too late.

about the primary? Now Obama is asking us to help draw up the Dem platform. I thought that was up to the convention and the party leaders? This can't be serious? What are our delegates for?

Oy vey.
