Obama Campaign Is Making Progress With Evangelical Voters
McCain leads with the group but the Democrat is doing all the right things
"And Barack Obama has the language down."
But there are risks to Obama's strategy. In reaching out to evangelicals—including his support of maintaining his own version of the Bush era faith-based White House effort—he has been in danger of offending the Democratic base and left-leaning evangelicals, Brinson says.
"Is he willing to take that risk?" Brinson said. "Is he willing to risk offending Planned Parenthood, for example, if he proposes a legislative initiative to reduce abortions?" Leaders of the religious right, he says, aren't the only ones waiting to see how close Obama can get to the fire without getting burned.

Immigration
Immigration is one of the most important issues in America because everybody wants to come to America, the Land of Opportunities. The fact that right now our nation is going through difficulties does not stop people from all over the world to want to come to America. I pray to Jesus that the Immigration Agency finds an easier way for people to enter the U.S. I also would like the Barack Obama administration to provide hope for people who want to work for the Immigration Agency. To see if the Job examination forma and the qualification can be revised. It appears to be, somehow a fact that testing for the job is impossible for some ethnic s groups to pass while one particular group of people are the ones that always do. When people go to college and try to advance in life the first thing that they think about is that one day have the opportunity within the government to get a job. Most of the time when an individual have this kind of desire in his or her heart it is not necessarily for the benefit or status that he or she may gain, but for the simple fact of serving this nation, serving people that is to them as essential as serving God. God Bless America. I wish that all those who wish to work for the government might obtain the opportunity of a lifetime to do so.

Welcome God into America, Mr. Barack Obama for President 2008
This is one of the most important moments of our nation when somehow we all together and united holding on from GOD. We are choosing Mr.Barack Obama for president to lead the direction of Unite States of America. The direction for America to fallows GOD and seek his presence. The direction of American families inviting GOD into our heart and houses. To welcome GOD into the schools system where our children are getting prepare for the future. Definitely, America needs someone who cares for the neglects of America, the families and for our fellow’s illegal immigrant. I thank GOD that I have an opportunity to expose mine concern about the poor condition of the American families. It is because is it time that someone like you, future President Mr. Obama to detain your eyes and observe the detrimental conditions of our families. It is eminent important for family values to return to the living room table. Where most of the time we all sit together, talk to each other, care for each other, watch a movie together, or simply pray together asking GOD to supply our needs. One of the main reasons I am asking you for this is because I work as a mediator for the Unified State Court System (Mediation) I can tell that the family structure it is changing and we cannot give up. America is ready for a new, and a great change lets all Republican, and democrats vote for Mr. Obama for President of the United States of America.
God Bless, we are in victory
Progress with Evangelical voters
Thank the Lord my sisters and brothers are waking up to the fact that Christ died for us to have the opportunity CHOOSE Him as Lord of our lives. We will have to answer to Him if we neglect so great a salvation. It is about time we as Christians pray to God for wisdom and stop Blindly following bigoted leaders, especially in the political arena. It is also about time we stop being so narrowminded on our issues as Christians. There are more issues then abortion and gay unions. Believe me I do not agree on either but I have enough wisdom to know that God is the Judge not me. I, like Obama, do not think it right nor righteous to mandate or legislate as unlawful either of these issues. Sinners, like we all were, will have to answer to the Lord. Thank God for Choice!
