Alaska For Barack Obama

These are some other hateful comments Chief Millan made in a policelink forum discussion about President Obama and the country of Iran."On matters we agree with we should support our President. His success in office is to our benefit. On matters we disagree with (probably gays in the military, liberal supreme court nominees and gun control), then rally our side in appropriate opposition."And "And in response to Iran's head terrorist-Ayato llah and his racial remark (unspecified in the media) about our new Preesident-Elec t, Iran can Kiss My Red White and Blue ASS. Mr. Obama is our President-Elect and Iran can get nuked and die from plague for all I care. I hope Iran gets nuked by Israel! TERRORIST SCUM!web cache.googleuse rcontent.com/se arch?q=cache:T_ ... C'mon chief, again with the gays. As a gay man I served over 20 honorable years in the military. I retired with honors. And do you really want Israel to "Nuke Iran"? The majority of Iranians are hardworking, decent and repressed people. They have no control over what their leaders say or do.

Hoonah Alaska Police Chief John Millan, under the profile name chiefmillan, posts these disrespectful remarks in the policelink website about President Obama"This is the kind of "community activist" Presidency we can expect for the next 3+ years. High taxes, gun control, gay agenda, retreat and defeat abroad and cop-bashing. Well news flash sports fans, this is the same ACLU lefty who refused to apologize for porta-potties on the police memorial, so what do we expect? Any sworn LEO who voted for this man, all I can say is SHAME."p olicelink.monst er.com/topics/6 3414-should-oba ma ... My question to Chief Millan is, What is wrong with a gay agenda?I'm sorry but I am a military vet, a police officer. I am also gay. Guess what Chief? I voted for Obama. You need to take your hatespeech off policelink.This post is just my opinion

Dear Bloggers,I am a filmmaker based in NYC that will be in Fairbanks and Anchorage this week to make a series of commercials that expose the Alaskan people's opinion of Sarah Palin for VP. I am trying to get as many people as possible to participate. I have not solidified a concrete schedule, however if you are living close to either of these places and would be willing to participate I am working to organize a shoot. Please email you location and availability if you are interested danielle@clearf ilms.org. Thank you and take care.

First let me tell you that I'm not affiliated to any party and I'm not black. I was not born in this country and I moved here as an adult looking for a better life. I became an American citizen by choice and I hope that this country can offer to my children the opportunities I did not have on my own country.I am writing this mainly to ALL THE WOMEN this e-mail can reach.As a woman and as a mom, I feel my intelligence INSULTED by Senator John Mc Cain when he chose his "cosmetic VIP candidate" in an effort to gain Hillary's votes.His move to me shows his degree of desperation to win this election. For someone that has been pointing his opponent's lack of experience, that should not been his choice with so many more experienced women in his political party.So Senator Mc Cain, don't try to full me with your slogan "Country First". The right slogan for your campaign should be: "MC Cain First"!!!Do you think all women are stupid? That because we are women we don't have a brain? That we don't have any common sense or any level of intelligence??? ?Do you think that your VIP's young face, flashy high heel and Kazuo Kawasaki's expensive glasses are going to affect my level of intelligence? Do you think we, as women don't have the capacity to understand that Sarah Palin stands for everything that Hillary Clinton does not believe? - Do you think that intelligent women in this country are going to vote for a woman that believes that Global warming is God's wish?- Do you think that intelligent women are going to vote for a woman that even though she spent almost her entire life in Alaska she still does not accept that Polar Bears are facing extinction as a direct result of Global warming pollution? - Do you think that intelligent woman are going to vote for a HUNTER? Please, tell your VIP that the only thing you should aim to an animal to shoot is a camera! Nothing else! Intelligent people do not believe in hunting for pleasure!- Do you think that with my level of intelligence I can respect a woman who puts her political career ahead of her down syndrome child still with breast feeding needs?- Do you think that I want a woman , who forces two teenagers to get married so her campaign can look good, to be the one making decisions about my daughter's future?- Do you think I want a woman who believes that even victims of incest or rape should carry their pregnancy making decisions for my daughter's future? - Every woman in this country is struggling to perform mom's duties and work in a regular 9 to 5 job.And you still think that women are so stupid that they will believe that this woman without enough political experience, with 5 kids, one with special needs, a daughter who is pregnant and is being told "to get married" would be as good as Hillary who has much more political experience and a grown up daughter?- Sarah Palin had the help of her parents and sisters in order to be able to make to the Republican Convention . Is she going to move her entire family to Washington to be able to perform her VP duties? Let's be realistic! Obama may be young and not have the experience we all look for but so did John F. Kennedy and Reagan and they ended up being good presidents for this country.As a woman, I'm sick and tired of this discussion about people discriminating Sarah Palin because she is a woman. It's not because she is a woman! And as a woman I can tell you. The bond your children have with the mother is and will always be stronger than the one they have with their father and if this woman becomes our VP, she will have to end up sacrificing either her family or the government.If anything happens to you, Senator Mc Cain as President of the USA, or if God forbid we have another 9/11, are you trying to convince me that this woman is politically and emotionally prepared to take the decisions that are necessary?

Gun-slinging and bible-toting used in the same sentence is an oxymoron as is over ambitious and under achieving...how can one be over ambitious and still be under achieving??? that's the problem with you damn republicans, you don't think for yourselves. You just constantly repeat the same old gibberish!! It really frustrates me that there are so many people like yourself and your ignorance still out there that we have to deal with!!!

Palin-McainTick et to Nowhere

"Allowed to choose"? Lyn you are listening to the wrong folks. McCain chose who he wanted. And you obviously missed the last 18 months of Obama pettiness. And of his lies: sending out his spokespeople to make nasty comments, and then days later, declaring that he himself to be above all that. Typical Chicago pol.And Obama has a firm grasp on the big issues? .He changes his mind, and his statements, everyday. And then claims that he never said the first thing. Sorry, but this bitter, gun-clinging, Bible-toting Typical White Person will never vote for the whiney, over-ambitious, under-achieving Obama. I just don't trust him. Him and his fake presidential seal, and his ties with thugs, and his twenty years with Pastor Wright.

#1. McCain is too weak to make any significant changes in Washington. How is he going to buck the GOP in office when he wasnt' even allowed to choose Lieberman for his running mate by the right wing of his party. Weak, weak, weak; too weak to be a change agent.#2. Palin's greatest strength is hurtling petty insults. she has no grasp of the big issues facing the US!! Pass these truths on.

It would be good if the media could point out to the Nation that Governor Palin has essentially turned her back on her constituents. Has she even talked to "her people" yet? I haven't seen anything in news like a Governors Address to the State of Alaska. Where did our governor go? Isn't her first loyalty to our state? Now we have an energy hungry nation looking to Alaska, and the governors blessing to go ahead and drill. Did she ask Alaskans about this? A good leader (which she claims to be) would have talked to her constituents.

Now that McCain has picked Gov Palin as his running mate, we should promote a new type of Alaska campaign. The sloagan is "OBAMA-PALIN". A vote for Obama is a vote to keep Gov Palin in Alaska. She is much too valuable to send to Washington. How does that work?

Somebody has been using a stencil of Obama and the world ‘hope’ to graffiti public property around downtown Anchorage. How you speak is as important as what you speak… I’m worried that this leads down a path that ends in damaging property like in Wisconsin where Kerry supporters slashed tires of Republican get-out-the-vot e rental cars in 2004. Stick to cardboard signs, posters and staples etc.

HAVE YOU LOST MONEY IN THE STOCKMARKET? Vote your pocketbook: the stockmarket loves a Democratic President! Look at the numbers yourselves!Fear s of fascism are apropos to the past eight years of Bush/cheney America: wiretapping, political management of the judiciary, weakening of the US Constitution. This fascism is still evident in the media-inspired fearmongering (remember the Swift Boaters?): claims that Obama is a muslim, does not say the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. LIES, LIES, LIES. The past eight years are enough to make the dead enthusiastic for anyone not Republican, let alone someone as talented as Barack Obama. This is our time.

Obama lost my support, when he came out for the corrupt politician, Mark Begich over reform candidate Ray Metcalfe. I want a leader not a ruler. Obama is suggesting that Democrats vote for a crook. It's politics as usual in the state of Alaska. Neither Begich nor Obama is worthy of my vote.

While I enjoyed and learned a lot at the Democratic Convention there was one thing that bothered me. As a former Clinton supporter, I am moved by facts and logical argument, not rhetoric and pep rallies. In fact, I find emotional rabble-rousing overly reminiscent of the Hitler youth and Red Guard. I am concerned that Obama supporters may put off some voters by showing over-enthusiasm . When Obama supporters booed and interrupted Lynn Woolsey they were showing both bad manners and bullying. I know that not all Obama supporters act this way so please, for the benefit of us all, encourage your friends to act like responsible adults when in the company of future Obama supporters.

I am over the edge happy that Barack is running for president. I'm doing everything I can to promote his campaign. I'd also like to address the Haters out there who are against Obama... First of all, to dismiss a person because of a name that they carry, its obsurd. Check your family roots and history and see how many racist slave owners your related to before you try and deminish his intentions for the country because of the name his mother gave him.Secondly, if he's ugly in your eyes, that shows how shallow you are to base your votes on looks. And if your basing your votes on looks, why in the hell are there all types of old wrinkled up, balding, aged spotted republicans in the house???Maybe you vote for people who look like you?Finally, take the microscope off of him and put it on the president that is currently in the office and figure out why did you vote for him and all that he's doing wrong... Whoever wins the presidency for 2008 is going to have a crap load of things to fix. Get the wool from over your eyes, take the cotton out of your ears, and you'll see that what this country really needs, is OBAMA!!!!!

Good Luck from good old germany to barack.If you can dream it,you can do it.

How in the hell can anybody vote for this guy his middle name is hussein he doesnt like white people he wont wear our countrys flag and he wont salute our troops. Not to mention he follows the reveren wright that says god damm america. Hes terrible and will have no success

Mr Obama would be easier to support if he would explain just where he plans on getting the money for all the give aways he is promising. All I see right now is just more of the same old Vote Buying with NO FINANCIAL PLAN or it seems even a CLUE.

This is the leader and the campaign we've been waiting for. What if we took it to another level?Take the 'Obama fundraising & campaigning model' and reach beyond the Democratic platform: enable a grassroots participation campaign for the best new ideas and the best proven practices for progress and positive change. On the internet & in community meetings - enable people to define a platform for what a federal government can do directly and what it could inspire through Presidential leadership and in sharing best ideas and practices between states, cities, schools & people. McCain wouldn't know what hit him... the uprising of participation and support for a 'new kind of listening & collaborative politics'. Leverage the existing Obama grassroots campaign structure right now! We can all make calls to people in Pennsylvania. Yet before and after the vote there, we have plenty to be concerned about and to work on right here and now in our own states, cities, towns & communities. This makes the Obama promise local, concrete and meaningful – that the aim is not just to ‘win’ the Presidency or to collect money, but to catalyze and lead America in a reinvigoration of its democracy, in the trust that the greatest value lies in the American people. This says: “Barack Obama doesn’t just want your vote, your money and your endorsement, but starting NOW, he wants you to bring the best that you have & know to this process.” This will not only inspire the folks in Pennsylvania and all the upcoming states yet to vote, it will build on the passion and participation that was aroused and now lies waiting in all the states that have already voted... It will energize Obama & Clinton supporters alike to participate & collaborate regardless of the specific outcome of the primary campaign (likewise drawing in independents & Republicans). This asserts in action that Barack Obama is not only capable of leading the democrats as their nominee or the nation as President, but that he is in fact leading the nation NOW. This begins the most crucial part of a 'grassroot s' federal Presidential campaign for it actually begins the most important part of the process of 'new politics': NOT JUST LISTENING to people, but inspiring them to take responsibility to organize their ideas, to listen to each other, to share and to learn about the best practices that are already in place, proven and ready to be suitably deployed in other parts of the country. New ideas will certainly emerge. But locked up in every corner of America there is undoubtedly a gold mine in ideas for progress & positive change that are already in practice and time tested. This process will unify the country through its best spirit, ideas and action.How.Tap the Obama network by email and online, and also the community at large through media events and national advertising to organize:Small meetings – in homes, offices, community centers, schoolsLarger gatherings – regional & national conventions centered on specific issues (education, infrastructure, health, economy, poverty, etc. with representatives from the above small meetings)Publis h evolving results as:A collaborative web community to compile best ideas & the overall ‘policy platform’: a ‘wikipedia’ to evolve political policy.Printed documents available by mail & as media inserts.As press releases for the web, newspapers, radio & TV.Raise funds for this as an autonomous process APART from the campaign, ie.: a 527 organization that funds a ‘collaborative political platform process’ [in place of ‘partisan advertising’.]K eep the focus tight: What are the key issues? What has been done? What can we do?This builds on the existing Obama organization and momentum NOW. This builds on the overall enthusiasm among all Democrats and reaches beyond party boundaries. This invites everyone else who has been watching from the sidelines to participate. This is what underlies the power and promise of Barack Obama’s candidacy, a return to what America has always stood for and just makes it smarter, fresher and better:Innovati ve leadership, sensible use of technology & participatory politics as voluntary enhancements of representative government. It is up to us not only to vote, but to be deeply involved. After all, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for!

I really don't care if the president is black, white, man or woman. What I care about is the fact that Barack Obama does not take pride in being an American! I mean damn he wants to be president, but he can't pledge alleigance to our flag, or wear it on his lapel? Do we really want someone like that running our country? I for one don't and I will not be voteing for him. sorry if this pisses some of you off, but you really need to think long and hard before you vote him in. I also don't agree with him wanting to pull us out of Iraq, and yes I am a soldier in the US military and I have been to the middle east. Pulling us out would be the worst possible thing we can do at this point.

I support Obama because he is a real democrat. He stands for the people at all times

Yo. Barrack is my homeboy! I'm an asian dude. I came to America when I was two. I look asian, but I am an American. I always hated the idea that you have to look white to be an American. For this reason and many more, I hated whites, blacks, and all other races including my own. It's so easy to hate but so hard to believe that we share a common interest....... we are all Americans. I don't vote and probably never will. I guess I just want change. I don't care if Barrack is black or white or black and white. Who cares if a black man will make history or if a female will make history. What is shameful is the fact that you have to beat down on others to make you look better, or you need money and connections to be experienced enough to lead. I don't need all my hardships and world issues to change in a heart beat. All I know is this world needs change. I think Barrack is humble and has a passion to help others like few people we meet though out our lives.

I'm voting for Obama because he is REAL, he NEVER sweeps issues under the rug, he addresses every criticism that's hurled at him with TACT. He is'nt a puppet like Hillary and he is'nt out of touch with reality like McCain.

It seems to me Hillary's goal is just to "become president", Obama on the other hand wants change not only for the U.S. but for the world. As far as McCain goes, I have much respect for him, I just disagree with his politics.

To david, do you remember learning about cross polinization in school? Well, it's kind of like that. Black is the dominant gene. Also in the slavery era, if you had a were "mixed" you were still a negro. Last but not least, if the cops busted him he would definately be called black. LOL. Go Obama!

why does he say he's black? why doesn't he say he's white? if the "color" of his parents was the reverse of what it is, then would he maintain that he's black?

As a former Bill Richardson supporter who appreciated his experience and integrity I've been won over by the Obama's inspiring leadership qualities and don't believe his lack of executive experience would be a shortcoming. I'm thrilled that my man Bill has endorsed the Big O and hope the favor is returned by naming Bill VP, or at least Secretary of State. Together they can restore American credibility in the world and will hopefully provide the progressive leadership so desperately needed to deal with the challenges of the 21st century. I'm 61 years old, a member of the spoiled Baby Boomer generation which has selfishly ruined this country both morally and financially. A new generation must reform this mess and it won't be easy. Obama and Richardson have the leadership abilities to organize a renewal. America needs them to inspire this transformation.

Barack Obama you are with out a doubt the best candidate for the President of the United States since President Kennedy. Unfortunatly with the powers that be you are running into road blocks all the way. I unfortunatley can not vote for you as I am a Canadian, but what happens in the US effects us as well as the rest of the world.I believe you are the man for the job regardless of what is said. Any one who can tolerate Hillery deserves a medal including Bill, however I find it interesting that the entire Clinton clan is out to get you. They do not play fair and if Hillary is elected as President I feel that when she gets with the big boys they will not tolerate her tears just because she can not get her way. They will chew her up and spit her out. What happend to white water? where are her tax returns? How come the 3rd. building went down on 911,which was not hit by a plane and just happened to contain all the white water documents? That were destroyed????I pray that you will be the next President as you have given me hope for a better future than the ones we are looking at with either Clinton or McCain. You are the only one that can clean up the mess that GWB has put us all in.GO GET EM! STAY COOL HANG IN THERE YOU HAVE IT !!!!

HE IS CUUUUUUTE and Bill isn't!!!!

He is his own man unlike his democratic party competitor who clings behind the back of his husband for support. secondly Barack believes in equality regardless of whether one is black or white, rich or poor, muslim or christian or even man or woman. infact he is a man who believes that nobody sent a mail to God demanding to be created black or white. To me Barack is my role model, my hero, my everything....g o..go...go Barack don't give up the fight. Lastly he is handsome!

black people lie i assure you. there are plenty of people i wouldn't equate with mlk and they are black. it would be offensive to say that no black people lie. but that's not what was said.

the only reason you equate him with MLK is because he is black. It is time for a black preseident? So, we should elect someone because they are black? Blacks are always honest? So just because they are black they never lie ... so a black man or wmaon or child never lies? that is offensive.

I believe Obama is the best candidate that we have. I am not overly concerned about Wright as many of us have friend and family that we do not agree with but love and still remain in contact with each. Each person should be held responsible for only his doing unless that person assisted in the actions of the other person. Let's be serious for a moment. Barack was doing so well there was bound a time that "they" the media and other haters would come up with someone to say bad about him. What about all that the Clintons have had that was negative etc. For some reason, no one is bringing that up. Interesting. I appreciate Obama for taking the high road as much as he has and trying not to get caught up in unnecessary conversations. If Obama does not win I may have to consider moving to Canada or something.

Haha... you gotta hear this song "That's what a pimp does"... its a remix of Pastor Manning's sermons about Obama.Lol...htt p://profile.mys pace.com/index. cfm?fuseaction= user.viewprofil e&friendid=2979 7446

Im leaning Obama because I dont want another Bush or Clinton in the whitehouse. >>>>>>>>>>> Here is something nobody has ever brought up... Clinton's affair with Monica cost Al Gore the election<<<<<<<<... if Gore had been president, we wouldnt be where we are today. The Clintons are sleeze bags and will stink up the whitehouse.

I love Barack Obama !!!!!!!! when he becomes president im going to be so ecstatic!!!!

my myspace is myspace. com/ northhavenba ssi put that there in case anyone wants to discuss politics with me.

my myspace is myspace. com/ northhavenbassi put that there in case anyone wants to discuss politics with me.

I'm gonna say this: Barack has a different mindset than the other politicians we have. He may be slightly inexperienced; this way he has an entirely different method of thought, a different way to handle things. He may have went to a black church for twenty years; he has been there and will treat everyone fairly. If anything, we don't need another old white man in office. If Barack Obama isn't our 'saviour,& #039; then Hillary and McCain surely are not, and our country is therefore doomed to hell anyway. People, just elect Barack Obama; he's worth a shot.P.S. And you know what? Race does happen to matter. I'm whiter than white and I have done research and have no black or native american in me whatsoever, and I AM TIRED of the same old white man candidate. I want something different.-- Jesse E.myspace.com/n orthhavenbass

to all of you out there wanting change and hope -- check out www.newint.org do you think slavery started in America? Do you think the Civil War ended slavery? Well think again!!! It is alive to this day if you really want to change something be an advocate for something or someone who really needs you......If the Dutch had not bought the African captures from the African CAPTORS there would be none in the U.S. Think of how life is now in Africa..To this very Day!! Stop Whinning DO something!!!!! Taking handouts from the government is NOT going to Empower anyone...Be Independant!!! Be Proud!!!! change

The computer screwed up my typing.. I said neither choice is acceptable unless you are a sot and advocated som.

There are a lot of opinions expressed on this page. Like many of you, I was intrigued by Obama, at least initially. I thought that perhaps he represented a new type of politician, a break from the Clintons and the usual beltway rhetoric. Sadly, though, I have come to realize that he is not different or special. He is unfortunately nothing more than a leftover 60s leftwing radical with little senatorial experience. Proof of this is apparent from his associations with his "spiritual leader" and William Ayers. His campaign for hope and change is not unlike that used by Jimmy Carter in 1976, where Carter was supposed to "unite" people after the uneasy Watergate period.. he lasted one term. Many of you seem to have been caught up in Obama fever. He is portrayed as eloquent and well spoken, which I agree he is, but be careful of those who are able to sway you with words. Jim Jones swayed 800 people to South America and their eventual demise. And please, no more comparisons of Obama to Dr. M. L. King. King was a unique and special man who used profound eloquence and nonviolent protest to help usher in the modern civil rights movement. Obama is a politician.We are at a special place in our American history, where a black man and a white woman are running for our highest office, and I feel this shows just how great America is today where this is possible. Unfortunately, neither of these two choices is acceptable, unless you are a sot and advocate som. Sadly, McCain is not much better. He has too many liberal tendencies, Bush-like tendencies, and I fear that all those years in a South Asian prison camp may have warped his brain. So what are we all to do? As the old saying goes.. hope for the best and expect the worst.

Thursday, May 15, 2008 I just received an Obama email welcoming John Edwards to the fold as he has given his endorsement to the Obama campaign. I was privileged to attend the democratic caucas in Wasilla, Alaska where I endorsed Obama. While I was there I joined the crowd on the floor standing up for our candidate of choice, Barack Obama. My attention was drawn to a noticeably singular sight. In the crowd near me, there stood a woman with a child in her arms. The child was simply glowing with health and excitement and a radiant smile for everyone. I felt compelled to ask the woman if her outfit was a military uniform. Yes, she replied, she was in the army. A woman in the military, my how things have changed. A black woman. With an infant. In the U.S. Army. A woman who had chosen to come out, with her child, in the blustery nightime winter weather in the Red State of Alaska, in order to show- to provide- her support for her candidate of choice;Barack Obama. A black man...(with a kind of funny name). That moment was the first time since the U.S. left VietNam that I have felt proud to be an American. Think straight, act right, keep up the good fight!

I am new to this site. I was wondering where can I go in the Anchorage area to show my support for Obama. I also want some STICKERS!!!

When I do vote in the primaries I am voting Obama...unless something else comes up of someone manages to sway me away...Obama is my man....I would love to see Gore run, but I can't blame him at all if he doesn't want to either.

Obama will probably win illinois easily.....but he is my guy...he is edged over Edwards for me slightly, maybe something else happens and Edwards overtakes him in my books, but I have to go with my guy.

I wouldn't vote for an Edwards/Obama ticket.. I'm not even 100% I'd vote for an Obama Edwards ticket. I don't want Edwards anywhere near this elections ticket. He has no conviction, and he's a horrible campaigner. He'd lose to Huckabee, he'd lose to Rudy, and he'd even lose to McCain, he might be able to beat Romney depended on which one of them proves to be the most full of shit.

Yeah, he's got charsima, but let's face it...he's a junior senator going up against the Clintons, who between them have experience in 4 presidential elections (including this one), two senatorial races (Hillary), and of course, Clinton's bids for governor in Arkansas.

I hope Obama speaks out, mainly to help other black men considering the consequences of perpetuating these stereotypes - of men as well as women... to enlighten the white men who are lining their pockets with hip-hop, and of course to help empower women who've had enough of this crap.

This is the perfect moment for American culture to take a step back and realize what this nasty sort of language does to black women. Senator Obama has the ear of young Americans, and as an African American man, he could have a big impact on this discussion.

Questions have been raised on how engaged the Presidential Candidates should become in the debate over to challenge the Hip Hop Music and Video producers, BET, VH1 and radio stations that plays music which degrades women of all ages and races.How involved (if at all) should Barack Obama become with this issue?

It's about time we all get behind America's black leaders who are trying to say it's time to take responsibility for our people and our current predicaments. Another thing too.. everyone should make sure to monitor what your kids have on the ipod or on CD and make sure your own listening habits aren't contributing to the problem. Go Obama!
