Fight Back for Barack Obama

100 more signs planted. We need your yard, too!

Here's a Google map of about third of the Obama supporters displaying 'UA for Obama' yard signs. Click on the map to expand the image.

Your response to our sign initiative has been outstanding. Over the last several days we distributed over 100 more signs! Lots of people signed up for a yard sign online and at events.

Be a part of the movement here in UA. Planting a sign really makes a difference in ways you may not know. Your public show of suppoort impacts people in your neighborhood who trust and value your opinion.

Signs are also a great way to fight back against the smears against Barack Obama that will only get worse.

Our goal is to distribute 300 more signs before Barack's historic speech this Thursday. We need you to sign up to turn UA blue by planting a sign in your yard. Already have your sign? Encourage your Obama supporting friend or neighbor-who may not know of our initiative-to sign up.

Sign up here to have a sign personally planted in your yard during the week of the convention. We will include an envelope with your sign in hopes you will mail us a contribution to help defray our costs. We thank you in advance!

Additionally, UA for Obama and Ohio for Obama signs will be available at the Obama Acceptence Speech Party (sponsored by the Worthington Area Democratic Club) this Thursday, August 28, at the Holiday Inn Griswold Ballroom, just south of I-270 on High Street in Worthington. Signs will also be available at our booth nearby the UA Labor Day Arts Festival. Check back with the website in a few days to get more details about our location!

Democrats far outnumber Republicans

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

As Ohio Democrats pack for their national convention in Denver next week, they have quietly rolled up an advantage that almost no one has noticed: nearly a million more registered voters than Republicans.

Almost three times as many Ohio voters have become Democrats as have become Republicans since the summer before the last presidential election.

Read the full story.

• Reflections on Leaving the Party: Susan Eisenhower believes the GOP has lost its way and has been awakened to the destructive nature of the Bush regime - the one her grandfather warned us about all those years ago.
• Watch the rare and unscripted interaction between Michelle, Barack and his children at the end of Michelle Obama's moving speech at the Democratic Convention last night. Michelle's life story video was also great.
• Montana's Democratic Governor Brian Schweitzer provided the red meat at last night's Democratic Convention: "We simply can't drill our way to energy independence, even if you drilled in all of John McCain's backyards — including the ones he can't even remember."
• Hillary Clinton delivers for Obama. About 15:00 minutes into the video speaking directly to her supporters, she said: "I want you to ask yourselves: Were you in this campaign just for me? Or were you in it for that young marine and other like him? Were you in it for that mom struggling with cancer while rasing her kids? Were you in it for athat young boy and his mom struggling on the minimum wage? forfor all the people who feel invisible? ..."
