Obama office accepting donations
Campaign officials for Sen. Barack Obama announced Sunday that the presidential candidate’s offices will be accepting non-perishables and other materials today and Wednesday to help families affected by Hurricane Gustav.
Local residents are encouraged to bring non-perishable items such as canned food, bottled water, first-aid supplies and other materials that may help people in the wake of the storm, the campaign said.
The supplies will be distributed to aid foundations for delivery to families in need.
Obama’s Greenville office is located at 414 S. Evans Street.

[Subject] StateDemocracy.org Equips You for the 2008 Elections
Dear Citizen: Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections? How about your friends, family, and neighbors?
More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so donЎ¦t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions: ѓг Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration? ѓг Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason?
ѓг Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time? The answers to these questions — and all your voting needs — can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org — the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the InternetЎ¦s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools.
In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place. Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks. As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didnЎ¦t have (or take) the time to share their opinions. LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors. This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the partyЎ¦s Presidential nomination.
StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite! Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering. I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect! Engage! And Empower! Sincerely, Ken Laureys, Executive Director StateDemocracy Foundation Ken.Laureys@StateDemocracy.org

Красота — это своего рода гениальность, даже больше, чем гениальность, ибо она в объяснении не нуждается.
