Labor Confronts Racism
It's great seeing a video with such passion like this. This is the change we can believe in. AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Richard Trumka blasts racism and it's devisive history. He then underlines how labor has always been on the right side of workers' rights and why his union should vote Obama in 2008. Excerpt of speech is from the Steelworkers convention July 1, 2008. Labor gets amped!

Obama at 50%
Not a fan of horse race politics, but I like to big up my man Barack. Currently the Gallup Poll is Obama at 50% to 44% for a sliding McCain. Goes to show, in a tough week with real issues, more Americans choose Obama to lead us. Big jump in the polls this week for our next President. They know another Republican term will crush this country.

Our Next President
The Republicans have ruined this country. Their "divide and conquer, divide and rule" style coupled with zero oversight and greed have brought us here. Government by the people, for the people is what we need. Vote Obama.

In the past few weeks, Wall Street's been rocked as banks closed and markets tumbled. But for many of you -- the people I've met in town halls, backyards and diners across America -- our troubled economy isn't news. 600,000 Americans have lost their jobs since January. Paychecks are flat and home values are falling. It's hard to pay for gas and groceries and if you put it on a credit card they've probably raised your rates. You're paying more than ever for health insurance that covers less and less. This isn't just a string of bad luck. The truth is that while you've been living up to your responsibilities, Washington has not. That's why we need change. Real change. This is no ordinary time and it shouldn't be an ordinary election. But much of this campaign has been consumed by petty attacks and distractions that have nothing to do with you or how we get America back on track. Here's what I believe we need to do. Reform our tax system to give a $1,000 tax break to the middle class instead of showering more on oil companies and corporations that outsource our jobs. End the "anything goes" culture on Wall Street with real regulation that protects your investments and pensions. Fast track a plan for energy 'made-in-America' that will free us from our dependence on mid-east oil in 10 years and put millions of Americans to work. Crack down on lobbyists - once and for all -- so their back-room deal-making no longer drowns out the voices of the middle class and undermines our common interests as Americans. And yes, bring a responsible end to this war in Iraq so we stop spending billions each month rebuilding their country when we should be rebuilding ours. Doing these things won't be easy. But we're Americans. We've met tough challenges before. And we can again. I'm Barack Obama. I hope you'll read my economic plan. I approved this message because bitter, partisan fights and outworn ideas of the left and the right won't solve the problems we face today. But a new spirit of unity and shared responsibility will.

A Real President
Barack Obama is our next President. McCain can use his lame tactics all he wants, the real mandate in this country, not the mandate of any candidate, is that we need change. "Bush Hugger" McSame is not the answer, Obama is.
