This is Our Time, This is Our Country

At this very moment, I am sitting in the Camp Obama in South San Francisco with a couple of hundred of extremely dedicated and passionate supporters of Barack Obama. We are all leaders, but we’re not special. We are all motivated to elect our candidate of choice, but only because we recognize how he will change this country. Most importantly, you are also supporters of Barack Obama, you are motivated to elect Barack Obama and you desire the kind of change that Barack Obama will bring to this country.

So where do we go from here? Well, I do have a couple of ideas. We have 59 days left until the election on November 4th. After that, you can go back to your regular life, sit back and hopefully reflect on a successful campaign and a very satisfying victory, but until then, the success of this campaign is on your shoulders. If you can’t get fired up over the next two months, it is doubtful that there will be another time in your life that you will. This is the cause we have been waiting for. This is the candidate that we have all been looking for. This is the time of our lives that it is mandatory to put everything else on the back burner and work for our most important goal, to do everything we can to get Barack Obama into office.

It is really this simple. We can sit back and watch our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers slowly begin to question whether Barack should be their next president while they listen to his opposition belittling his accomplishments, misrepresenting his agenda, literally lying about who he is and what he stands for, or we can spring into action, remind people that what they knew about Barack hasn’t changed, that the Obama-Biden ticket is our best hope for the future and that what we all want for this country is what the Obama campaign represents for every American.

How do you get involved or reinsert yourself back into this campaign? We have literally 59 days left. There are calls to make, doors to be knocked on, voters to be registered, and for those of you willing to make just a little more commitment, there are doors to knock on in Nevada and other battleground states. An hour a day, a day per week or a half an hour here or there will make such a huge difference between the election of McCain-Palin and Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

I just got back from Denver, and it was a great privilege to represent all of you who couldn’t be there. I am truly fired up and I want you to join me and every other dedicated, passionate person in this campaign today. Contact me at markbrickman2002@yahoo.com or log on to www.mybarackobama.com and see what events are taking place near your home. We have a beautiful office in San Carlos (El Camino Real one block south of San Carlos Avenue) waiting for you filled with computers, telephones and friendly staff.

If not now, when? There is no sense of empowerment and a sense of satisfaction and involvement that is like getting involved, making a difference and working on behalf of a spectacular candidate, an aggressive and progressive movement and the opportunity to be a part of changing this country and world for the better in every way. You are the one that we have been waiting for. Come on. Get fired up! Our time is now.
