About Me
-
Describe Yourself:I was fortunate to be able to grow up seeing America from varied viewpoints. My childhood was spent in Hawaii and Indonesia. After college I worked as a community organizer on the South side of Chicago focusing on improving living conditions in poor neighborhoods.
I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children's health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism.
Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.

Mr. Obama my friend Nalita, from San Francisco, is a great believer in you and she has inspired me to join in supporting you! I would have anyway since I am a democrat and there is no other choice. (Meaning the Republicans don't have a plan to help all just a plan to help a few of them... not even all their own membership!) So the Democrats are the only hope.
You are an inspiring man. A brilliant man. Do us all one huge favor. Environmental issues are most pressing because without a planet the rest of it is a not going to matter. (Not saying there are no other pressing matters just saying that is the most vital issue now for the whole world.)
America must stand for healing the planet. Without our supporting that process it is not going to happen. Also the science indicates we do not have much time to turn it around. Ten good years. A bit close for comfort.
I am counting on you. I am a bit psychic and you will be the next president of the United States. History being made.
Congratulations.
Bright Blessings,
Isis
