These young men wrote a song and designed a t-shirt to help President Obama get re-elected. Proceeds from t-shirt sales will help purchase band equipment needed to perform at campaign rallies across the country. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the campaign. To purchase a shirt, visit http://www.LetsDoItAgainObama.org, and thanks to Melissa Prescott-Crawford for telling about these amazing young men!
By now, unless your address is 1234 Under A Rock Way, you know that America is in an epic moral battle over the rights of the lesbian and gay among us to wed, and that the current head resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue recently declared his support of those rights in an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts.
The reaction to his declaration was swift, and uncharacteristically dramatic, especially among African American bible-brandishing, church-going believers. Even my closest relatives, once staunch Obama supporters, have threatened to turn their backs on him this next election cycle.
Black Women For Obama is dedicated to the re-election of President Barack Obama in 2012 and in doing so we are committed to educating everyone who joins this organization as well as anyone who visit our website.
It’s important that we all understand a very basic point about the structure of government; the three branches that comprise our democracy.
Don’t forget…tonight is our “Weekly Strategy Call!” If you’re new to BWFO, join us for our strategy call and listen in to learn more about the work we’re doing around the country to help re-elect President Obama in 2012!
IMPORTANT: Tonight, BWFO will discuss our official response to President Obama’s announcement last week regarding gay marriage. Join us to have your opportunity to weigh in!

Atlanta, GA (May 20, 2012) – (http://www.blackwomenforobama.org) Black Women for Obama, a professional grass-roots organization of Barack Obama supporters today announced that Tamika Morrison has joined the organization as its National Director of Media & Public Relations.“The organization is working to re-build our network of African-American women that worked so hard during the last election cycle, and getting the word out about the organization is going to be critical to that effort”, says Patricia Wilson-Smith, the organization’s Executive Director. “Tamika is a media and publicity expert with years of experience as a brand consultant, so we’re thrilled to have her as part of Black Women for Obama”.
I started to develop my first post on this site by going on a tear about my utter and complete fatigue stemming from the latest attack on President Obama’s legitimacy as a citizen, and upon his loyalty as an American. However I concluded that I’m going to leave that task to other, non-African Americans, for their denouncement, and demand for an apology … THIS time, from U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman, R-CO. Coffman who was captured on microphone at a fundraiser about two weeks ago, saying, “I don’t know whether Barack Obama was born in the United States of America. I don’t know that. But I do know this, that in his heart, he’s not an American. He’s just not an American.” As someone who teaches prejudice reduction, and designs diversity and inclusion programs, I am a strong advocate for ALLIES to step in whenever possible, to defeat prejudice, bigotry and discrimination. First, it is difficult, and unfair, to expect that those who are targeted by discrimination to ALWAYS be placed in the position of having to defend themselves. Second, those who are doing the targeting are more likely to be influenced by people who are more like themselves. After all, bigotry and prejudice are largely sourced in fear of people who are different.
