Ftom Barack's campaign blog:

Thank you.
You did it. You showed America -- and the world -- that change can happen.
Thank you for the miles you walked, the doors you knocked, the phones you rang, the hard-earned dollars you gave, the spirit you committed to this campaign. Thank you for never wavering, even when the days were dark, the clouds grayed the skies, and the rain poured. Thank you for tuning out the static of the cynics and believing in your power to change this country. Thank you for all the late nights and all the far too early mornings, for trudging through the bitter cold of winter and wading through the oppressive heat of summer to canvass in your communities. Thank you for the rain-soaked jeans, the mud-caked sneakers, the sweat-drenched t-shirts, and the snow-covered scarves and hats. Thank you for your patience; thank you for your perseverance.

Yes, we can!!!!

I have lately been microblogging quite a bit on Obama.
I really want him to win. I need it, I think it's the best not just for US, but for most of the world. A change, a deep change, is necessary in the US.
And any other option scares me.
So, I've decided to send all my good vibrations towards US and Obama's supporters by compilating part of what I have been posting at Tumble & Fall.
Have a look and, if you are a US citizen, please vote for change.

I…believe that every American has the right to affordable health care. I believe that the millions of Americans who can’t take their children to a doctor when they get sick have that right…We now face an opportunity - and an obligation - to turn the page on the failed politics of yesterday’s health care debates. It’s time to bring together businesses, the medical community, and members of both parties around a comprehensive solution to this crisis, and it’s time to let the drug and insurance industries know that while they’ll get a seat at the table, they don’t get to buy every chair.

These two boys waited as a long line of adults greeted Senator Obama before a rally on Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, S.C. They never took their eyes off of him. Their grandmother told me, “Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King’s words can be true for them.” Jan. 21, 2008.

Callie Shell - Obama - Digital Journalist

A New York Times article reports that as a college student, Barack Obama, one of the two leading contenders for the Democratic nomination for President, was interested in Nietzsche, Freud, and Sartre. A hopeful sign! I would have been worried if as an undergraduate he had been enamored of Kant or Hegel!

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

WE MADE IT!!!!!

I was at the cacerolada until 1:30 a.m. opposite the PP headquarters in Barcelona, which was set up by email messages, sms messages and this website, catalan but with Spanish entries too, that was also involved:
Indymedia Barcelona: newswire

There were thousands of people banging on tins, pans, with bicycle chains against containers, anything to make noise and make our message clear.

This is another website linked to the demonstration on Saturday night, where you can see some pics VilaWeb - Diari Electronic Independent

All the way the demonstration went, when aproaching 2 a.m. we started moving back to the Town Hall -Plaza Sant Jaume- people were amazed when, in their cars, etc., they had to stop at such hours for still hundreds of people marching, shouting, singing and banging on our pans and tins, and the reaction was always a big grin and beep-beep-bipbipbip on their horns!

People stood outside the music bars and pubs they were that Saturday night to see us pass, and clapped and cheered. Obviously, when we started to move from our main destination opposite the PP offices, and downtown to the Town Hall, we kept trying to buy some beers and every shop, petrol station or bar immediately close to the main demonstration had run out of them -we had been there for 4 hours or more, thousands of people, and many would leave for a moment and buy some cans to take to the friends... so we kept trying as we moved downtown, and I found a music bar where they didn't have cans, but offered us plastic cups full for only one euro!!! He saw we came from the demo and was happy to help, instead of charging average 3 euro per beer or more.

Even the neighbours who couldn't sleep were, in many cases, out on their balconies and banging too -if you can't beat them, or sleep, I guess...
