Obama Nets 9 Supers for the Day

post from Why We Need Obama on 09 May 2008 06:30:00 PM. © Why We Need Obama

As of now, Obama has gained 9 superdelegates today.

Here's the latest:

Virginia's Joe Johnson caps Obama's best superdelegate day, a gain of nine, including Payne's switch, an Obama aide says.

Obama's now ahead in our superdelegate count, not a tremendously meaningful measure, but another sign of the coalescing party.

Meet Vote for Change Volunteer Natasha

post from Obama HQ on 09 May 2008 06:27:42 PM. © Obama HQ

Natasha of Purcellville, VA, became a U.S. citizen so she could vote for Barack. She has lived in the United States for more than twenty years and loves her adopted country dearly but always had hesitated when it came to shedding her Australian citizenship. That is, until she heard speculation that Barack Obama might run for president. She filled out her application in January 2007 and was just sworn in last week. As she writes on her My.BarackObama profile:

He is the only candidate who can bring our country and the world together to solve all of the problems we now face. As a mother of two small children, I always have their lives and well-being at the forefront of my mind. I worry about every detail of their lives. Barack Obama is the best candidate for their future, which means less for me to worry about when he is President of the United States. As he says, "We are the ones we've been waiting for."

She missed her opportunity to vote in the Virginia primary but that didn’t hold her back from tirelessly campaigning for him. Along with all her fellow Loudon County for Obama members, she has helping turn her Republican-dominated county “purple.” Tomorrow she is going to a kick-off event for the Vote for Change registration drive with her four-year-old daughter in tow to continue bringing more people into the process.

Natasha plans the community service projects for the Loudoun County group to “spread the good word” -- as she says -- about Barack. This Monday she'll launch their food drive and has plans in upcoming months to collect supplies for our troops and to organize a children's book drive.

Get involved in your local group and continue to grow the movement. Attend a Vote for Change kick-off event in your area tomorrow to register and mobilize voters.

West Virginia: Toward the Finish Line

post from Obama HQ on 09 May 2008 05:54:12 PM. © Obama HQ

This weekend, grassroots supporters in West Virginia and across the country are working to Get Out The Vote in the final push before Primary Day. We're fighting an uphill battle in West Virginia, but by ensuring that all of our supporters make it to the polls, we can add to our delegate lead and continue to close in on the nomination.

Earlier today, West Virginia Field Director Rachel Sigman sent out the following email:

Right now, thousands of people in West Virginia are thinking seriously about which way they'll vote when they go to the polls on Tuesday.

You can make their decision easy.

The West Virginia primary is coming up on Tuesday, May 13th, and we have an opportunity to secure some of the final available delegates and move a big step closer to the nomination.

We can't do this without your help — and you can make a difference right from your home.

Our team has put together a list of the potential supporters here in West Virginia whom we most need to reach by Tuesday. Your voice could persuade them to cast their votes for Barack — but only if you use our simple online tool right now and give them a call.

We have thousands of potential supporters to reach, and no time to waste — please pick up the phone and start calling for Barack right away.

Barack had a big night on Tuesday because people like you, not just from North Carolina and Indiana but from states near and far, decided to take action, reach out to potential supporters, and build this movement one voter at a time.

You can carry our momentum forward in West Virginia — and with Election Day just four days away, we need your help now more than ever.

Even if you have never made a call for Barack before, you'll be able to make a difference. Simply log in and get started — it's easy!

I hope you'll make a few calls every day between now and Tuesday — start right now.

Thank you,

Rachel

Hawaii Congresswoman Mazie Hirono Endorses Barack
Obama; Delegate Countdown - 160 To Go

Hawaii Congresswoman Mazie Hirono announced her support for Barack Obama today, citing his ability to unite the Democratic Party and bring about real change:

Today I announce my endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. I do so after watching these historic campaigns unfold across our country, where hundreds of thousands of people participated as never before. It is clear that Americans want our country back on a course of hope and opportunity.

I make my announcement with deep respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton. She is an extraordinary woman. However, it is time to unite the party behind Senator Obama and to use our energy and resources to defeat Senator John McCain. Barack Obama can unite our Party and our country and bring about the positive changes Americans want.

Of course, all of us are especially proud of Senator Obama's deep roots here in our state, and overwhelmingly embraced his candidacy in our recent caucus. His love for Hawaii and understanding of its diversity have given him a foundation for understanding the diversity of our country. I am proud to endorse Senator Obama and I look forward to a winning campaign.

Hirono is the 271st superdelegate to endorse Barack Obama. Obama is 160 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination.
