HELLO ALL!!

What a way to countdown to Denver and the DNC!!  This NC Democratic Delegate honor is NO JOKE!  The emails…mailers…letters, you name it…it just keeps coming and coming and coming.  Gary and I are going to kill ourselves trying to DECIDE what to do.   There are so many activities going on and for such great causes, that we hate we can’t participate in them all.  However, we will keep you "posted" and will blog every day, so you can enjoy this along with us.

With even more excitement leading to Denver, Barack Obama made another appearance in Raleigh today.  The event was a town hall meeting forum that dealt specifically with economics.  He opened the meeting with a speech outlining his economic plan.  He dealt with energy, education, and many other topics.  Then, the floor was opened for audience questions.  The questions from our great NC citizens were thought provoking.  Questions ranged from his adminstration’s stance to remove labeling for disabled children in conjunction with health care reform to his plans to increase spending in the scientific research fields.  He also covered questions pertaining to veteran’s benefits and what can be done about the disproportiate number of African-American men in the penal system.

Gary, Sr. and I watched in awe of his charisma with the audience.  He even kept Gary Jr.’s attention!  Gary Jr. was taking photos of him the whole time.  Mr. Obama made Gary Jr.’s day by shaking his hand as he was leaving.  I am glad we can experience these things as a family.  He will remember all of this for many years to come.

Mr. Obama’s insight, truthfulness and interaction was a thing of beauty to behold.  (Especially after eight years of George Bush’s "great moments in presidential speeches").  Here is a sampling for your enlightenment.
