I purchased the above bumper sticker about a month ago and it's in the rear window of my car. We also have one on our golf cart.   It says it all for me.  Many of you will recall over a year ago, long before Obama declared he was running, "I" was supporting him.  Many of my friends and even blog readers had their doubts.  But not me.  I believed in him.  Not only did I know he could make a difference in restoring our poor and damaged country, I strongly felt he had a good chance of winning the nomination for the Democratic party.  And he did.  And here we are, with the convention next week.  This is only one more example for me that dreams really CAN come true.  We got this far, and I'm confident we'll take it to the limit in November.

This past Saturday evening Ray and I attended an Obama Organizational meeting at the home of a Cedar Key resident.  The organizer from Gainesville was there, along with 24 of us like-minded Obama-supporting Democrats.   I've been contributing to Obama's campaign all along, so I thought this might involve more donations, but it didn't.  Not one checkbook made an appearance.

This was to get the Neighbor to Neighbor program up and going in our community.  A chance to volunteer for various things to do to help Obama's campaign.  Like voter registration, phone calls, canvassing your neighborhood.  He certainly will NOT get elected President by osmosis.  Each and every one of us must attempt to do something to help make THIS happen! 

Ray will be manning a table downtown Labor Day weekend with another guy doing voter registration.  And I will be doing some phone calling......not for donations, but to feel people out as to who they'll be casting their vote for and of course, trying to sway them a bit toward making that vote belong to Obama. 

I feel very strongly that not only is it our right to vote in this country, I feel we all need to make an effort to do something....no matter how small......to insure that our voice be heard in the upcoming election.  To be honest, it's THEE most important election I can remember in my lifetime, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

If you're interested in getting involved in something in your neighborhood or community, go to www.my.barakobama.com and see what you might do.  Many doubted my prediction well over a year ago and look how far we've come.........I, for one, want to keep the momentum going.

OH, and Obama's running mate?  My thoughts are that it might be Bill Richardson.....a blend of charisma and intelligence from Obama and more intelligence and foreign policy experience from Richardson.  We shall see very soon!

And I'll see you here next time............
