I'm about to drive home this morning, taking the coastal road from Monterey, through Big Sur & into Santa Barbara, before heading down to Los Angeles & finally back to Orange County. I'll take some time to appreciate the beauty of this land & reflect on all that is good here & why we fight so hard for change. Before I drive, I want to post these two new Local Voices ads. I think you'll find them as powerful & effective as the Dana Snodgrass spot:
Commander Frederick Dalton:
Retired Naval Commander Dalton knows a thing or two about leadership. After 39 1/2 years of service, in theaters from the Phillipines to Afghanistan, he can easily assess the leadership potential of the presidential candidates. Analytical skills come first and foremost, in his view, and Barack Obama is a clear leader with sound judgment about America’s place in the world.
Luke Snodgrass:
From Jasper County, MO comes a recent college grad - and cattle farmer, Kyle Snodgrass. Kyle is concerned for the struggles his friends face to make ends meet, after working hard to get through college. Kyle delivers a powerful message to his community in the southwest of Missouri on why he is voting Obama!
The first ad in this series, Dana Snodgrass:
Dana Snodgrass understands how Republicans think. He owns an autobody shop in Joplin and runs a small 200 acre farm near Web City with his son Kyle. Like many local business people, Dana is concerned about the movement of jobs to foreign countries and the persistence of low wages in the area. Dana explains how the usual core "values" of guns, religion and abortion are being trumped by concerns about the economy, and why Missourians should vote now for Barack Obama.
We need your help to air these & the other Local Voices ads being finished now in Nevada & Ohio. Please, share these ads & our site with anyone you know, including other groups. We're working in tandem now with the Mama's for Obama & the Elder's for Obama will be releasing spots with us in the next couple days.
To help us air these ads, contribute at our website. And again, please share our work with others. I will be reaching out to other progressive orgs to at least attempt to enlist aid, also we are on constant media outreach. We have a lot of great work I believe & there is a significant amount still to come for these last days, so getting more eyes on this effort is paramount.
Please DIGG here.
And thank you so much for your help,
