Arizonans For Obama

For those about to Barack, we salute you!

About Me

Arizonans for Obama is an independent, grassroots organization dedicated to supporting Sen. Barack Obama.
Together, we are writing a new chapter in Arizona politics. A chapter that says a person of character - an energetic, intellectual and visionary - can be elected President, if we run a positive, engaging, and issue-oriented campaign.
Coming Events:
Get involved today! Check our calendar and find an event near you.
Our Goals Are Simple:
1) Help get Sen. Obama elected President! (sort of obvious, huh?)
2) Raise awareness of Sen. Obama’s innovative approaches to today’s issues.
3) Help new supporters get involved in Obama-mania.
4) Facilitate cooperation and information sharing between groups of supporters in AZ.
Who is Barack Obama & what does he stand for:
"My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success."

"Our cherished rights of liberty and equality depend on the active participation of an awakened electorate."

I'd like to meet:

In the words of Sen. Obama, “if you feel the same energy that we do, if you feel the same urgency that we do, if you feel the same passion that we do, if you feel the same hopefulness that we do - then join us in rekindling the spirit that built America.
This campaign is about us, and Arizonans, we have work to do. Our energy, our time, our hope, and our dedication will determine this election.
Come to one of our events and meet other enthusiastic Obama supporters. You can make a difference in ‘08.
