Obama for America, Colorado Headquarters!

DENVER – “We’re taking this state seriously and we’re going to win here in Colorado,” said National Campaign Co-Chairman Federico Pena.
Pena, who is both a former Denver Mayor and Washington two-time Cabinet Secretary, was on hand Thursday night to help open the first candidate campaign office in the state.

“Kerry could have won Colorado in the last presidential election, had his people sent staffers and money into the state, but they didn’t and the rest is history. He lost a state that he could have won, we’re not going to take the same chance.”

Ray Riveria, who is serving as the State Director for the campaign, says Barack Obama is doing things right.

“He is the leading fund raiser of all candidates with $76 million in his campaign chest, and more than $1.6 million alone in Colorado.
But what is most amazing, is that $21 million has come form people giving $200 or less. And just to make sense of it all, so far more than 350,000 citizens have given to Obama.”

To date, 10 states now have campaign offices. And when Nevada opens it’s headquarters in a couple of days, that will mean five states in the “red west” have Obama offices open. (California, Idaho, Arizona, and Colorado)

The office is located at 1029 Santa Fe in Denver.

What’s your opinion? Is Federico Pena’s assessments correct, that if previous Democratic Campaigns had taken the west seriously, the elections would have turned out differently?

America and Colorado aren’t ready for an anti-American president.

  Being Anti-American is wasting $1 Trillion dollars, pissed away in the sands of Iraq; squandering our reputation in the World; Stating that “the constiution is just a piece of paper”; breaking multiple international treaties; at 24% approval rating still not listening to the American People he’s supposed to be representing, showing himself to be the most Un-American of presidents…..
  Bush is Anti-American.

    He may not be anti-American, but every policy he advocates is against the best interests of our country.
    
    He’s a disaster as a candidate and would fail as a president. Voters see that and are rejecting him and his politics.

      I guess it’s better to have a real bona-fide actual disaster (Bush) vs. what one would percieve as a potential disaster (Obama) – sheesh! The biggest decision of the Bush Administration, going to war in Iraq, is against the best interests of our country.
      
      Our reduced standing in the world, coupled with the endless loss of life and enormous debt we have incurred, runs exactly counter to the interests of every American. Yes, and how unpatriotic of me to say so – I guess if you can’t handle irony it’s a bad time to be an American.

      Those comments that Barack Obama made back in 2003, warning of what was to come from the invasion and extended occupation of Iraq, “shows his lack of comprehension of the real world.”
      
      And from everything I’ve seen, voters are attracting to the campaign.
      
      Barack told the crowd that bidding goodbye to George Bush and Barack’s “cousin” Dick Cheney is only the start. “It is not enough just to change political parties in the White House,” he said. “We’ve got to change how our politics is done. We’ve got to open it up to the American people again. We’ve got to make sure that your voices are heard again.”
      
      “Change happens because millions of voices join together and insist that it’s time for change,” he explained. “Your voice can change the world.”
      
      Barack asked the crowd to add their voices to his campaign to bring real change to the country on issues like health care, the environment, education, and America’s place in the world.

  but he certainly isn’t anti-American. Further, he is no more of a lost cause than any of the current Republican candidates are. He and the Republicans have simply chosen the wrong time to run for President—it is Hillary’s time.

  Senator Barack Obama embodies the American Dream, going from a community organizer in Chicago, editor of the Harvard Law Review, to United State Senator and one of the frontrunners for the US Presidency. He’s anything but anti-American.
  
  To call into question his patriotism is at best an ignorant statement, and at worst a pathetic attempt to smear a good man.

    Senator Barack Obama was in Arizona this afternoon and the Arizona Republic wrote that He is The Message
    
    That the son of a Black Kenyan father and White Kansas mother – an improbable merging of Eastern Africa and the American Midwest – has a realistic chance to become the nation’s 44th president is a stirring moment in the American story.
    
    As Obama campaigns today in Arizona, we contemplate the meaning of his candidacy and the statement it makes about our nation. In many ways, it tells us who we are today and how far we’ve come as a people.
    
    Obama embodies the past century of struggle, in which Blacks rose victorious from the second-class citizenship of Jim Crow to the boardrooms of our biggest corporations and the bench of our highest court. Both a Black man and woman have successively served as U.S. secretary of State – America’s face to the world.
    
    And now at this moment, Obama’s moment, we genuinely contemplate the real possibility of an African-American leading the nation.
