Elect Barack Obama president

After making all those calls on behalf of Barack Obama, I wonder how many of us are dreading the arrival of our next phone bill. :D

?

is now the time to create the “re-elect Barack Obama” goal ? nah – let’s get ready for all the work that will greet us in the morning – we’ll think about re-election on Thursday!

Woo Hoo – it was great to be a part of the electorate that delivered the Garden State, the third state to ratify the Constitution, the home of Bruce Springsteen and John Stewart, and our 15 electoral votes to Barack Obama!

Jeero chose the entire Democratic ticket – that’s the first time this has ever happened in this family.

After making that row of Xs across the top line of the ballot there was a shout of BINGO – somehow I am not all that confident that Jeero really knew what he was doing!

Wow – I have never seen anything like this before – actually having to wait to vote!

I am surprised by the number of people who brought children with them to hit the buttons on this historic day.

The waiting continues … we’ll report back after we vote.

Go Into Any Starbucks On Election Day and Tell Them You Voted. Starbucks is giving a free tall coffee to everyone who voted!

Record of Advocacy: As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Obama passed legislation to improve care and slash red tape for our wounded warriors recovering at places like Walter Reed. He passed laws to help homeless veterans and offered an innovative solution to prevent at-risk veterans from falling into homelessness.

Obama led a bipartisan effort in the Senate to try to halt the military’s unfair practice of discharging service members for having a service-connected psychological injury.

He fought for fair treatment of Illinois veterans’ claims and forced the VA to conduct an unprecedented outreach campaign to disabled veterans with lower than-average benefits. Obama passed legislation to stop a VA review of closed PTSD cases that could have led to a reduction in veterans’ benefits.

He passed an amendment to ensure that all service members returning from Iraq are properly screened for traumatic brain injuries.

He introduced legislation to direct the VA and Pentagon to fix disjointed records systems and improve outreach to members of the National Guard and Reserves.

President Ronald Reagan’s son and namesake has publicly endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States.

(secretly I always knew Obama was a Reagan Democrat!)

Just three days remain …
