Who We Are
Black Women for Obama is a grassroots organization that serves as a political voice for Black women in the United States of America.
We are the mothers, the daughters, the sisters, the wives, the teachers, and the providers who believe that our nation needs leaders who will fight to bring stability back to our families, opportunity back to the masses, and hold greedy corporations responsible for their destructive practices.
We believe that without schools that produce productive, educated citizens, our nation will not maintain its leadership position in the world.
We believe that it is imperative that we have a healthy nation, one where all of its people can look forward to access to the greatest health care system in the world, and where fear of how you will pay for your medication should not have to compete with how you’ll feed your family.
The good news about our voting bloc:
-1,874,000 Black women hold college degrees
-669,000 Black women hold graduate degrees
-Black women voted at higher percentages than any other group in 2008
-Sales for businesses owned by Black women total 37 Million dollars annually
The bad news about our voting bloc:
-24.6 of Black women have no health insurance
-The rate of HIV among Black women is 19 times that of her white counterparts
-A Black woman is 8 times more likely to be imprisoned than white counterparts
-The median net worth of Black Women between the ages of 36 and 49 is 5 dollars
Black women for Obama is determined to identify and support those candidates and legislation that is sensitive to the problems plaguing our communities, and seeks to support the ideals of a democratically run civil society where life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is encouraged for all regardless of race, ethnicity, gender and, age.

Hello Tori, interested in helping set up BWFO’s in the States I have lived in New Hampshire, Iowa,Raleigh NC and now Middle and South Ga.
Email me so we can talk and I can send you my contact info.
Peace
Diane,
I would really like to chat with you about working on behalf of Black Women for Obama – please email your contact information to patsmith@blackwomenforobama.org and I’ll call you as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest! Go Obama!
Even though I am a right to life Countryside Conservative, I share the nation’s affection and respect for Oprah Winfrey….although I don’t like many of her Hollywood pals! Still, she is very authentic, so her endorsement of Senator Obama impresses me.
I wish that Oprah and Senator Obama would come to agree with ‘Democrats for Life of America’ and cease to oppose the right to be alive of unborn human beings, just as the daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr. has done.
Still, your candidate has a winning personality, and America has no choice but to have a Democrat in the White House, Obama would, in fact, be free of the preceding 14 years of the Bush and Clintonian bad blood! That would be good for America.
I can say this: IF THE REPUBLICANS ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO NOMINATE
RUDY GULIANNI, AND IF THE DEMOCRATS NOMINATE YOUR CANDIDATE, THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF REPUBLICANS WHO WILL be ABLE TO VOTE FOR SEN. OBAMA WHO COULD NEVER IN 50 LIFETIMES VOTE FOR HILLARY.
MOST OF THE MAINSTREAM PRESS IS TRYING TO BRAINWASH AMERICANS INTO THINKING THAT THE HILLARY NOMINATION IS INEVITABLE, AND THAT THE ONLY REPUBLICAN WHO HAS A CHANCE OF BEATING HER IS RUDY.
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT. NEITHER HILLARY NOR RUDY ARE THE BEST CANDIDATES OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PARTIES. OBAMA VS. THOMPSON OR OBAMA VS. HUCKABEE OR OBAMA VS. ANOTHER NON-RUDY CANDIDATE WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COUNTRY. THE INSIDE THE BELTWAY CORRUPT STATUS QUO WILL BE WHAT A HILLARY VS. RUDY RACE REPRESENTS.
Gotta go
