Go-head Will.i.am you better use your skills to make a difference.
Get out and vote people and talk about the political landscape whenever you can.
I love talking about it at work with a whole bunch of people who aren’t informed and after they talk to me, they want to get involved.
WE ARE THE ONES to make the difference.
Pray him up!

I luved the video. And especially what Kerry Washington had to say. He’ll be the President of the United States…not the President of the top 10%…. Thats truth right there. I’d just like to admonish everyone to get some knowledge about these issues and what these candidates are saying. Don’t vote base on color or gender but based on who can be the best leader to bring about the CHANGE this country NEEDS. I for one have never voted before because didn’t think it mattered whether or not I did. But this year I’m motivated to vote more then ever. Alot of us talk about the need for change but don’t realize it’s starts with each individual taking the initiative towards change. Obama said it best We don’t need a change of face in the White House, we need a change of leadership… VOTE!!!!

Listen va, I’m only gonna say this once! When you see people standing in a line…get in it! hehe!
Anyhow, God uses people to ackomplish his plan! And, he has blessed us with a civilized society where we can cast a vote to elect our leaders. Not like other places where the leader is decided by a bullet. Don’t shirk your responsibility by calling the process “corny”! That’s just what people like Bush and McCain want you to do!
You’re the person who won’t fill out the application, because you don’t think you’ll get hired! You won’t walk over and say “hello, my name is va, because you think you’ll get rejected [or renounced] which ever your prefer! Don’t shy away from the political process…because that process is what Martin Luther King died for!
Now, I’m only gonna say this once: “Register to vote for Barack Obama!”

I hope he makes a video every month as well. It’s truly inspiring everytime. The “Yes we can” video was so profound to me, it seriously gave me chills. This one, is a lil more chill, but its message is still strong. I’m 18, so all i’ve ever known is the Bush’s and Clinton’s….but now I can vote, and i’m excited for change.
Obama 08′
yes we can!

that’s ridiculous to not vote because “there is only one man in charge and thats god not obama or hillary!” (ref: #20)
showing political support and activity in favor of an elected candidate is by no means diminishing the power and sovereignty of our Maker. if anything, it should compel you to support the individual closest to your belief system to be given (timely) domain of this world. it’s that kind of divisive thinking that prevents progress. less “religion,” and more of Relationship, my brothas and sistahs.
with that, BARACK ‘08 and end centuries of backward policies and backdoor deals…or at least lessen it haha

Oh, but she is using her dads name for fame! hehe!
Anyhow, there are things that you can do to support Obama! Financial support and being all that you can be. Continue to educate yourself and work hard for the good of the world! A peaceful world requires everyone to play a role no matter where your from!
BTW, why aren’t you an American? All it takes is crossing the boarders into LA, Texas, San Deigo or Detroit!

this ain’t about black or white the moment we start viewing this in this way, e re voting for the wrong reasons….its about what the candidate stands for and their essence on the things that matter.
them obama videos move me!!!
Obama ‘08!!!!!!! this is the real vote or die issue.

I lOVED IT, it moved a lot more than the other one. i loved seeing all those different types of people. After seeing every single televised debate between the two im confident that Obama is the one that will have this country and make us respectable again. Its not about black and white its about a man who has the brain and calm demeanor to rule this country. When i look at him and his strong wife, and his beautiful children i know they belong in that white house. I cant help but to feel pride seeing a black family in the white house. America never really gave us black people a whole lot to feel pride in and the first time we might really be able to feel that pride people are quick to say dont make it a black and white issue. but it is, and its positive.

I dont know if yall realized this but after 400 + yrs of all forms of slavery we are finally
at the point where a black man is one of the most talked about and the most respected man in the WORLD. Im not from the states and here in Canada we already have a Black Govenor general (the equal to Dick Cheney) .
I guess all I want to say is that it is time for us to rejoice . I mean politically yall have to think and vote for the candidate that fits your political ideals but as a black woman I am proud to be living in this time were we are now living in a time where we are seen a beautiful , charming, eloquent , powerful , charismatic.
I believe now, more than ever, that our ancestor’s blood was not shed for nothing.
Now we have to self analyse ourselves and uneducate us of all mental bonding.
It is time for us to free ourselves. If wearing ur natural hair out is what we need to do (ladies) lets do it.
If you have to go back to school and get that BA , MASTERS that Doctorate…lets do this!!
The time has come to better ourselves…
Blessings to all

1. Another good one. I now forgive BEP for everything they’ve done post-Fergie.
2. I see no evidence that Zoe can sing. Everybody sounds decent in those hushed bathroom mirror tones. Even I could tear those chords up.
3. Glad they put more Spanish in this one. Our communities need to unite on this one.
4. Kerry is so beautiful!!!!!

Will.I.AM is really a die-hard Obama supporter. love it. We need positive music out there , instead of the sex-fest radio has become.
No matter what happens with this election, never in history has black people, especially young black people have mobilized around a politician, in huge numbers, and becoming involved in the political arena. And Will.I.AM is a prime example of the power of the youth. We are the Future!

This song is a bit cheesy and sum of tha celebs seem fake about what they said,
the message isnt Cheesy,but the way the song is made, arranged n produced is.
Tha Non Chheesy Parts are…Tyrese’s soulful singing [still mad he married], Tyinsha
Arnolds Realness, and
Nate Parker sexy self and When dude said he Speaks my language-Obama–They
Be Havin Fun With His NAme!
Obama most be Paying Will I Am–Millions for this.
When he gets in office HE BETTA BE ABOUT his WORDS–He really is saying alot
of things–lets hope its obtainable in The WHITE house!

#20 VA has a right to express his opinion, i mean the whole video was really corny, the man is merely a imperfect man who going to become part of the executive branch of government alone, he his not becoming our new King, he wants to make changes that can’t happen because the ppl that really run this country won’t let it happen. Why do you ppl really think we are at war, you really think George Bush, as slow as he is, is the puppet master, c’mon have some true awareness. If u want change, first we need to accept the truth as a nation, and realize that a better world will come at a far higher price than merely changing an elected official. Vote or don’t vote, wat will be, will be. Hey why don’t we have Diddy run around with Vote or Die t-shirts again, maybe then we will get Obama in office. Or maybe if we get all the young ppl together and celebrities, we will definitely swing it then, worked so well with Bush/Kerry situation When something fucked up happens again, remember Datdude called it. Governments should be afraid of their ppl, if everyone wants change, fight for it, fuck voting, do wat needs to be done.

HILLARY IS A BOLD FACE LIAR, WITH NO INTEGRITY!!
HILLARY CLINTON CURRENTLY HAS A CAMPAIGN FINANCE FRAUD LAWSUIT BEING HEARD IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. (CASE # BC304174)
Hillary Clinton is facing a Campaign Finance Fraud case in court in California. During her campaign for her New York Senate Seat, Hillary Clinton, asked a man named Peter Paul do a fundraising event for her. It took place in Hollywood California, and involved celebrity performers like Cher, and celebity guests like Brad Pitt, and Jennifer Aniston. The funraising event raised $1.2 million dollars for Hillary Clinton’s US Senate campaign. When it was revealed in the mainstream press a short time after the event, that Peter Paul, Hillary’s fundraiser had a crminal background, Hillary lied about knowing him, or receiving $1.2 millions in campaign financing from him. She also filed documents with the FEC, and did not report the $1.2 million dollars she had received from (Peter Paul), the fundraiser, THIS IS A FELONY CRIME.
VIDEO evidence, and PHONE CALL evidence, as well as LETTERS, show cleary, and with no doubt, that Hillary Clinton knew Peter Paul, and had asked him to organize the Hollywood Fundraiser. (There is a YOUTUBE VIDEO OF Peter Paul showing this evidence of his involvement with Hillary Clinton as wel as reveailing that he has receipts from Hillary Clinto, for the fundrasier.
The YOUTUBE video is called: “THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE”
This YOUTUBE VIDEO shows the evidence Peter Paul plans to present in the Superior Court of California.
GOOGLE: HILLARY AND PETER PAUL TO FIND THE BACKSTORY,
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO TITLED: “THE SHOCKING VIDEO HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOUR TO SEE”.
SOMEHOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS DECIDED NOT TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON!!
SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES. (CASE # BC304174)
SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA WEBSITE ADDRESS: http://www.lasuperiorcour...IVILCASESUMMARY/INDEX.ASP
ENTER CASE # BC304174
YOU WILL SEE THE FRAUD CASE PENDING FOR HILLARY CLINTON.
