Saul,



Thanks.

I will do my part and yours too.

The momentum keeps building and Obama is closing the gap between him and Clinton.

Yesterday, JFK's niece Maria Schriver who is a democrat and the wife of Republican governor Arnold Scwartzneggar made an impromptu unschaduled appearance at the UCLA rally and endorsed Obama. Here's the piece on that:

According to a press release from the Obama campaign, California First Lady Maria Shriver became the latest member of the Kennedy clan to endorse the candidacy of Illinois Senator Barack Obama. 

LOS ANGELES, CA – California's First Lady Maria Shriver today joined a rally at UCLA with Michelle Obama, Caroline Kennedy, labor leader Maria Elena Durazoand Oprah Winfrey to announce her support for Barack Obama. Shriver emphasized that at this critical moment in our nation's history we need a leader who can unite Americans to take on the challenges we face. 

 

"There is no place I wanted to be but here today," said Shriver. "This election is about a moment. This is a moment not just for the United States of America, not just for the Democratic Party, but this is a moment for California. The more I thought about it, I thought, if Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California. Think about it: diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, innovative, inspiring, dreamer, leader."

"But this is a moment. It's a moment to have a conversation with yourself. Do I believe in an America that's about unity, about coming together, it's about seeing beyond the labels? We've got to see beyond the labels that divide us. And if that's the kind of America I want, I think it will be very clear to you what you should do on Tuesday."

"I'm honored to have the support of Maria Shriver," said Senator Obama. "Her courage in lending her voice to this movement means a great deal to me, and reminds us why she is one of the most admired women in America. Maria has been a strong advocate for women, a passionate voice for public service, and an extraordinary First Lady. Her dedication to bringing about a more compassionate, hopeful America sets an example not just for Californians, but for all Americans."

Maria Shriver is an award winning journalist and best-selling author who became California's First Lady in 2003. She is the Honorary Chair of CaliforniaVolunteers, which has driven thousands to community service across the state. Shriver has empowered women through The Women's Conference, an annual event she sponsors to encourage women to shape change in their lives and communities. Shriver served as a reporter and anchor for news organizations CBS and NBC, for which she was honored with the Peabody and Emmy Awards.

Well, thanks for your outstanding contribution. This is historic if all went well, which we all want to be part of. I would have actively get involved in his campagne if i had lived there. You can do my part for me as well. But i have donated to the campagne a trivial amount, just symbolically. 
 
What you just said below is the present election climate through out the whole country, since it is an opportunity no one wants to see slip away. An opportunity that we did not see since Kennedy was elected. That's why people are ready to sacrifice to make sure that he is elected. The UCLA meeting can be seen on c-span. 
 
Thanks for the shared interest !

I was out and about and have not had a chance to listen to Michelle's speech 
yet but I will definitely check it out later. I was certain that the dynamic 
trio of Michelle, Oprah and Caroline Kennedy together would knock 'me off 
their feet out in California this weekend. 
This guy is inspiring Americans like I have never seen before. 
Yesterday, volunteers of every ethnic background from the local Obama 
campaign office were out in targeted neighborhoods knocking on doors. I was out 
with a group knocking on doors in a predominantly black neighborhood and the 
reaction we had was so positive it just made my day. I was partnered with a 
white professor from a small Kentucky college who had driven all the way to 
Nashville to spend his weekend to volunteer to do whatever was needed. 
I hope that Americans will lend their support to him all the way as he 
represents an opportunity that no other candidate brings to the table. 
Keep Praying.

I can assure you THIS GUY HAS NO EQUAL IN THIS RACE ! He is exceptional. He 
is the most ellectable, intelligent, handsome as well as levelheaded. I 
don´t know why someone would vote for another one other than him. 
The wife Michelle Obama, is even more DYNAMIC than Barack. Did you watch 
that lady with Oprah at the UCLA about an hour ago. I can't just believe it. 
But well, she's also a product of both Havard and Princeton. What a couple. 
Her speach was so heartbreaking. Let's just pray for them.
