He reminds us of our responsibility as citizens to contribute to public life through service.

The Federal Government can’t solve every problem, especially at the individual and local level. Local governments don’t have the resources to engage their communities in service. Non-profits don’t have the resources to staff and pay for programs. Religious groups offer services, but often with many strings attached, and also have very limited resources. Barack Obama understands these challenges BECAUSE HE WAS COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. By expanding Americorps, the Peace Corp, and engaging our retired workers in service, we can start solving the problems we have that inidividual and local level by connecting people, groups, and resources.

This plan is also reviving and carrying on one the best things that came out of the Clinton years – continuing to honor the legacies of FDR, Kennedy, MLK, and all American activists.

From now until November 4th, every day, I will post one of the reasons that I am voting for Barack Obama.

I was going to write a post all about how John McCain can suck my balls (That was the title: “John McCain Can Suck My Balls”) and about how Sarah Palin is a pathetic power hungry hypocrite who will do anything to win what she views as a popularity contest (just like McCain). But I would prefer to build my candidate up. Barack Obama is the best choice for President in this election. Joe Biden is the best choice for VP in this election.

So, my post may be a link to his website. It might be a quote from one of his books. It might be video. Or it might be an original thought. But I’m determined to add to the positive content of the web regarding Barack Obama.

Stay tuned for Reason #1.
