WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I am administering this site for Santa Fe Grassroots for Obama volunteers and friends. Now that the election is over, the topics have broadened to local community events. I encourage each of you to find your passion and make it happen by volunteering and getting others involved. If you'd like to share and spread your volunteer interests, write something up and I'll post it. Along those lines, you'll find things here now that I am personally passionate about. So please join me! My best, Gaye Pollitt

We've added new to the weblog links. Take a look.

In the right column if you scroll down [Note 1/2009: column no longer available, but links below are active], you'll find links we hope will be helpful and informative. We add new links from time to time. If you have suggested additions, please let us know. Take a look:

OBAMA SPEECHES, NEWS ARTICLES, ETC.
Berlin. That's all I have to say.

Barack will lead a new foreign policy based on restoring America's military strength and global respect, cooperating with allies, and reversing failed Bush policies

With all the questions about FISA, check out this blog on the Obama website that includes Discussion with Policy Staff.

Check out this video of Barack speaking to headquarters staff and volunteers in Chicago after winning the nomination. He's talking to us too! "What a magnificent position to find yourselves in, where the whole country is counting on you to change it for the better. These moments don't come along very often... So we've got to seize it."

This video was recommended by Harold Neal, one of our Grassrooters from Chicago. It's Barack on This Week with George Stephanopoulous on Mother's Day a year ago. Harold's description of the show is "it is sort of 'Obama Intro 101' very relaxed , wonderfully presented." See for yourself.

ISSUES
And, in a new category called ISSUES, you'll find a very informative article from The Nation that asks...How antichoice is John McCain? Let's leave the psychological tea leaves out of it and look at his record. Another thought provoking piece. (Disclaimer: the author is not related to Gaye Pollitt.)
