Barak Obama     for President in 2008

                A message from Barack Obama: (this was published before the 2004 elections)
         During my eight years in the Illinois State Senate, I spent six in the minority and two in the majority. I can tell you from first-hand experience how significant the difference really is. What we were able to accomplish in those two years was profound and amazing -- from covering thousands more children with affordable health care to creating a state earned income tax credit that put $100 million in the pockets of working families.   I have learned that people don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life, and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all.  I believe taking back the Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate will mean a real change in the priorities in Washington, and more importantly, significant change for everyday people across America.
