Just got this from the Obama camp

[Omaha Steve]

I didn't see this email posted. If this is a dupe I'm sorry. They got my email when I attended the instruction seminar the night before the Omaha Rally. This was for volunteers for the Obama event itself on Thursday. Now that Marta and I have caucused for him, I guess we are officially in the Obama camp. I just wish that when the AP quoted me as a volunteer at the caucus they had included my comments about the DU and the labor forum. Yes I had on my AFSCME shirt and a couple labor stickers. Since I was working, I didn't wear anything to identify my choice for candidate.


Steven --

We just learned that we won all three contests today -- in Louisiana, Nebraska, and Washington State.

We've now won 18 out of 28 states, with New Mexico still in the balance.

What's more, we also estimate that we at least doubled our delegate lead today.

Our momentum is strong, but another round of tough contests is about to begin.

Tomorrow, Democrats will caucus in Maine. And on Tuesday, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia will have their turn.

To win, we need to bring as many people into the process as possible. We're pushing towards 500,000 donors this year by March 4th, when Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont vote.

Now is the time to make your first online donation of $50 -- if you do, it will be matched by another supporter, doubling your impact:

This race is still extremely close, and we need your support to remain competitive.

Thank you for making this possible.

Barack

1. Yesterday, Obama was Crowing about all the Loot he raised

Why does he need more?

[MadBadger]

2. Cuz he cant afford to just simply loan his campaign a quick Five million.

3. I guess it's because

if he wins the Dem nomination, he will need it to fight the GOP "swift boat" attack machine and their enablers in the Corporate media? :shrug:

5. Because the system of running for president is insane. We need more progressives in congress to ..

... change it. America adds up to about 50 coutnries with TV companies charging big buck that's where the cost comes in.

4. Your comment that you caucused for Obama yesterday must

have gotten overlooked by the earlier posters.

THANK YOU for coming around.


I have been for him since I got to meet and talk briefly with him, when he was running for Senate a few years back. I was so impressed with him then, that I have watched him closely ever since. I am thoroughly convinced he is what we need at this time.


Hey, I was AFSME before I retired.
