i hope you don't mind me posting this in here, but i'm new to this forum and cannot start my own threads yet.
anyways, i just want to promote the Obama grass-roots movement that you may have heard about on the popular site Facebook.com
here's an MSNBC news article about the group:

also, there is
http://www.studentsforbarackobama.com / which is a community of university and high school students for Obama.
it's amazing how Obama is defeating the apathy that was previously so evident in college kids.
my petitions are for Pennsylvania, and i'm trying to get a large amount of signatures from PA residents to persuade our governor and senators to endorse Obama, which could help his campaign immensely. (i'll start my own thread for this when the forum allows).
if you are not a PA resident i encourage anyone to begin a petition in their own state. Obama may have a lot of popular support now, but we need to put proof onto the desks of our state leaders to increase Obama's influence.
Peace.
