Army of Dog

Well, Barack Obama has taken a brief break from stalking me and begging for money to let his wife stalk me and beg for my help in harassing other voters.

Brett –

In every state across the country, there are thousands of qualified voters who are not registered to vote.

Some believe their vote doesn’t matter, some have been actively disenfranchised, and some have been overlooked or excluded by a broken system that has lost touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans.

Barack and I entered this race because we believe there’s a chance to change that.

If I were John McCain or Hillary Clinton, I would get down on my knees and pray to Jesus every night that the Obama campaign continues to remind people that Barack and Michelle are a package deal. That woman is Hillary circa 1992 without the charming sense of humor and easy-going personality.

>From the beginning, our goal has been to reach out to people of all races, ages, and backgrounds and bring them back into the political process. We must use the rare opportunity we have right now to bring people together and make this a better country for all Americans.

Here is the crux of the Michelle Obama talking point. The implication here is that making America “better” is an opportunity that comes around once in a blue moon. And the blue moon in this case is electing a black man.

That’s why I’m excited to announce a 50-state voter registration and mobilization drive we’re calling Vote for Change.

Beginning with a nationwide kick-off on Saturday, May 10th, more than 100 Vote for Change events will take place in every state, organized by our dedicated volunteers who are leading this campaign for change in their own communities.

“Vote for Change?” What about hope? How can they just ignore the half of Obama supporters who are committed to Hope? Are hopeful people going to be second-class citizens in an Obama administration?

This campaign is about the change in all of us — it’s about demanding that we live in a different world and being ready to fight for the vision that we have for our children.

And that starts with being engaged and engaging others.

If you’re reading this, you’re already somewhat engaged in this campaign. But if your experience is anything like mine, you know at least 20 other people who are not engaged, who are not focused on politics, and who may not vote in November.

If we are going to change this country, the change must come from the bottom up. That means reaching out in your community, in your circle of friends, and even in your family.

You can help get new people involved in the process so together we can finally solve the problems that this country faces.

Millions of little Obama supporters, drunk on the vapor of their own naivete, harassing their friends, family, and co-workers about their nebulous commitment to “change.” Pass the fucking popcorn.

Throughout this campaign, we’ve seen millions of Americans get involved who have never been interested in politics, never volunteered on a campaign, and many who have never even registered to vote before.

And some of our greatest successes have been recent.

Voter registration drives organized and conducted by supporters like you have registered more than 200,000 new Democrats in Pennsylvania, more than 165,000 new Democrats in North Carolina, and more than 150,000 new Democrats in Indiana.

Those numbers just scratch the surface of what’s possible.

And that’s why Barack needs you. He needs regular folks, engaged not just with their dollars, but also with their energy.

If you get involved with Vote for Change now, you can help equip enough people in this country with the tools necessary to bring about the kind of change we so desperately need.

I like to imagine that even Obama wakes up some mornings, looks at himself in the mirror, and says “Wait, what the fuck do I mean by ‘change?’”

Politics in this country can no longer be the way it’s been: divided, isolated and cynical. We know in our hearts it can be so much better.

We’ve already come this far, and this nation-wide voter registration and mobilization drive is the next step.

Be a part of Vote for Change, bring move voices into the political process, and help America move toward a future filled with hope:

Thank you for getting involved,

Michelle

I know in my heart that people who talk about unity while appealing to racial identity and hiding behind a thinly constructed wall of racial sensitivity are completely full of shit.
