Obama Campaign Poster Effort from Obey Giant
Came across a great new Obama campaign poster support effort from Shepard Fairy and Obey Giant at http://obeygiant.com/post/obama. Made a quick desktop from the original image for those interested. Read on for the formal CA statewide effort they're undertaking. And vote Obama!
From Shepard Fairy of Obey Giant: "I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been paying close attention to him since the Democratic convention in 2004. I feel that he is more a statesman than a politician. He was against the war when it was an unpopular position (and Hillary was for the war at that time), Obama is for energy and environmental conservation. He is for healthcare reform. Check him out for yourself www.barackobama.com. Proceeds from this print go to produce prints for a large statewide poster campaign. Thanks."
Anyone interested in helping out please email info@obeygiant.com with OBAMA as the Subject Title for instructions. This screenprint is 24 X 36, edition of 350. Available Wednesday, January 30th.

After 8 long years of Bush jnr– a fresh start!
Entrenched interests stand in the way, but Obama's victory brings a chance for the US to finally join with the world community to take on pressing challenges on climate change, human rights, and peace.
After years, even decades of distrust, let's seize this moment of unity, reconciliation and hope to send a message of warm congratulations and invitation to work together to the new President and the American people.
We've built a huge wall near the White House in Washington DC where the number of signatures on our message and personal messages from around the world will grow over the next several hours. We've also asked Obama to personally receive our petition from a group of Avaaz members. Let's get to 1 million signers and messages to Obama! Sign on at the link below and forward this email to others:

This is a time for celebration of democracy, but already the sharks are circling – oil companies, war contractors, conservative lobbyists, and the powerful neo-con clique that brought us the war in Iraq are furiously lobbying to dim the prospects for change. Obama has promised national unity, and these interests will ask a high price for that unity.
Let's act quickly to make sure the people of the world are heard as Obama makes crucial choices in the coming days on how to live up to his campaign promises to secure a strong global treaty on climate change, ban torture and close Guantanamo prison, withdraw carefully from Iraq, and double aid to make global poverty history. Rarely has a US President been more likely to listen to us.
We'll make the point that on most of the pressing issues faced by Obama and the American people – from the financial crisis to climate change -- we need to work together as one world to achieve change. Sign below and forward this message on:

With hope,
Ricken, Brett, Alice, Iain, Paula, Paul, Graziela, Pascal, Milena, Graziela and the whole Avaaz team.
PS – Send us a picture of yourself for our wall - email it to obamawall@avaaz.org
PPS – Here's a link to a report on Avaaz's past campaigning – www.avaaz.org/en/report_back_2/
PPS - And here's a list of 10 of Obama's campaign promises that concern the world – you can find his full platform here www.barackobama.com/issues/:
· Reduce the US's carbon emissions 80% by 2050 and play a strong positive role in negotiating a binding global treaty to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol.
· Withdraw all combat troops from Iraq within 16 months and keep no permanent bases in the country.
· Establish a clear goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons across the globe
· Close the Guantanamo Bay detention center
· Double US aid to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015 and accelerate the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculoses and Malaria
· Open diplomatic talks with countries like Iran and Syria, to pursue peaceful resolution of tensions
· De-politicize military intelligence to avoid ever repeating the kind of manipulation that led the US into Iraq
· Launch a major diplomatic effort to stop the killings in Darfur
· Only negotiate new trade agreements that contain labor and environmental protections
· Invest $150 billion over ten years to support renewable energy and get 1 million plug-in electric cars on the road by 2015

Welcome the the real world and new times.That includes overdue US health reforms . Somehow the memory of the Pres Bush jnr eras, eight years+ of a mindless legacy and rule has been conveniently forgotten?
Amazing amnesia and paranoia. This newish right wing hysteria shows such panic merchants can be audacious when suddenly they express a personal 'concern' after no apparent concerns for a decade .
It will be hard to shift the legacy of both Bush presidents and to a degree Clinton, as well, that's quite a while in years and the new imprefect President has had ten months in office.Give him a chance with the country his party and good will outside America and if one can say the same in another eight years the last noter will have a real point.The irony is this could have been 'lifted' from a letter about Bush jnr and yet have been more accurate.
