/></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>This week&rsquo;s delivery of our <a href="http://liebermanmustgo.com/">Lieberman Must Go</a> petition was a smashing success!&nbsp; Our own Communications Associate Eddie Kurtz flew to Washington to deliver the 43,000 signature petition, which demands that the <a href="http://democrats.senate.gov/steering/index.cfm?pg=6">Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee</a> strip Joe Lieberman of his committee chairmanship and rank within the caucus in January 2009, following the November election.&nbsp; After Kurtz held a press conference with Matt Stoller of Open Left, David Waldman (Kagro X) of Daily Kos, and Marc Laitlin, he took our foot-thick petition directly to the office of Steering Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-MI). <br /> <p>Our petition delivery commanded the attention of the mainstream press, prompting national coverage in <em><a href="http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/08/netroots-move-again-against-leiberman/">The New York Times</a></em>, <em><a href="http://www.usnews.com/blogs/washington-whispers/2008/7/9/unhappy-democratic-bloggers-create-petition-to-strip-lieberman-of-committee-chairmanship.html">US News &amp; World Report</a></em>, <em><a href="http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/jewish-dem-ire-boils-over-on-lieberman-2008-07-09.html">The Hill</a></em>, the <a href="http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/connecticut/ny-bc-ct--lieberman-petitio0709jul09,0,6477837.story">Associated Press</a>, and from vital local outlets like <em><a

His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.</p> <p>Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.</p> <p>It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack's parents met. His mother was a student there, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.</p> <p>Barack's father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.</p> <p>Political Career ...</p> <p>It has been the rich and varied experiences of Barack Obama's life - growing up in different places with people who had differing ideas - that have animated his political journey. Amid the partisanship and bickering of today's public debate, he still believes in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose - a politics that puts solving the challenges of everyday Americans ahead of partisan calculation and political gain.</p> <p>In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state. He also pushed through an expansion of early childhood education, and after a number of inmates on death row were found innocent, Senator Obama worked with law enforcement officials to require the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.</p> <p>In the U.S. Senate, he has focused on tackling the challenges of a globalized, 21st century world with fresh thinking and a politics that no longer settles for the lowest common denominator. His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent. He has also been the lead voice in championing ethics reform that would root out Jack Abramoff-style corruption in Congress.</p> <p>As a member of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan. Recognizing the terrorist threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, he traveled to Russia with Republican Dick Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world. And knowing the threat we face to our economy and our security from America's addiction to oil, he's working to bring auto companies, unions, farmers, businesses and politicians of both parties together to promote the greater use of alternative fuels and higher fuel standards in our cars.</p> <p>Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century. But above all his accomplishments and experiences, he is most proud and grateful for his family. His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6, live on Chicago's South Side. </p> <p>► <a href="http://MySpace.com/SamHarrisMusic">MySpace.com</a> <br />... keep up to date, and be Sam's MySpace friend!</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamTUNES.net">SamTUNES.net</a> <br />... to download Sam Harris songs and full albums.</p> <p>► <a href="http://SamHarris.com">SamHarris.com</a> <br />... information, biography, discography and buy cds.</p> <p>LEGAL & BUSINESS CONTACT: <br />http://SamHarris.com/contact.htm <br />© All videos property of Sam Harris</p> <p>--</p> </div> <a href="/blog/44984-president-barack-obama-song-tribute-change-is-on-the-way">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44971-harry-taylor-in-the-hickory-grove-fourth-of-july-parade 2008-07-26T08:18:42Z OneCarolinaGirl <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FcKEYzMaMFo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FcKEYzMaMFo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44971-harry-taylor-in-the-hickory-grove-fourth-of-july-parade"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/51463" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Harry Taylor, Democratic Congressional Candidate for the 9th District walked with supporters in the Hickory Grove annual Fourth of July Parade.
