Hello, everyone. Eli started this blog when he was nine and when Barack Obama ran for Senator in Illinois. We are reviving it now because our family has known Barack Obama since Eli's uncle organized with him in Chicago in the 1980s and since Eli's mom met Michelle Obama in the 1990s through an organization called Public Allies.
We believe that Barack Obama is our best hope for making our country and our world a safer, more just place. We are also very excited about the fact that CNN and Time Magazine conducted a poll (that means they asked a lot of voters what they thought) and they found out that Obama would have a better chance than Hillary Clinton of defeating the Republican candidate, John McCain.
We hope to post here at least once a week (there is a lot of homework in 7th grade!) and let you know about other kids who are supporting Obama. But most important, we want you to participate. Please let us know:
- if you're a Kid for Obama who would like to write a post for our blog
- if you know about other Kids for Obama that we should write about
- if your school held a mock election that Obama won
Please talk with your parents and contact us by sending us an email or posting a comment. We will publish your post (and if you like, your photo) but we won't publish anything that will make it unsafe for you on the Internet.
Thanks so much, and get together with your parents to call everyone you know to tell them to vote for Obama for President in 2008!
Eli and Eli's mom, Celeste
