Mama, I'm in love
I know he's kind of skinny
But I just can't help it
He is preaching something new.
He is calling every night
And asking me to fight the fight with him for freedom,
It's a dreamy point of view.
He believes in honesty and
Tax cuts for the poor
And I don't think I'm gonna
Lack a leader anymore.
CHORUS:
Barack Obama!
His truth just sets you free
Barack Obama! Mama,
He's the man for me.
The senator from Illinois
Was once a little boy in Honolulu
Pomaika i'no, Kamaha' o (How fortunate, remarkable!)
Was it sunlight on the surf
That showed him what he's really worth
And gave him faith in the audacity of hope
His policy on greehouse gas is
Totally the best
His daddy came from Kenya and his
Mom from the Midwest
(CHORUS)
Mr. Lincoln let me curl up on that Monumental lap
Can you hear me, I am callin' up to you
You might think a girl from Texas could Take pride in recognizing
That the country once again is split in two
But I've been in this red state feelin' blue
Ba-ba-ba-ba, bara-bara, Barack
Oh Mama, did you see him
At that podium in Springfield
He's got eyes that give a worried woman Peace.
And we've been stuck inside a lie that Brought the nation to its knees,
Somewhere in those eyes I see a chance for Our release.
You might say we're young and we can't Handle what's in store
Who else but the young are left to battle Through this war?
CHORUS
Barack Obama!
Your truth just sets me free
Barack Obama!
You're the man for me,
Reflect your hope on me,
Project your hope on me.
(Pomaika i'no Kamaha' o!)

A coalition of California Latino leaders came together yesterday and announced their support of Barack Obama at the Obama for America Los Angeles Headquarters.
State Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D-22), Vice Chair of the Latino Legislative Caucus, has announced his support for Senator Barack Obama. He had previously backed New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. A longtime champion of social justice, Senator Cedillo cited Senator Obama's commitment to bringing about fundamental change in Washington, creating economic opportunity for all Americans, and push for comprehensive immigration reform. Senator Cedillo represents the communities of Los Angeles, Alhambra, Maywood, San Marino, South Pasadena, and Vernon.
"Senator Obama's message of change, hope, and unity is inspiring the people of California, many of whom have never before been involved in politics, to stand up and be counted," said Senator Cedillo. "I believe he is right for the Latino community on the issues, and I'm going to spend the coming weeks leading up to the vote on February 5th talking to the Latino community about why Barack Obama is the best candidate for us."
Former State Senator Martha Escutia, the first woman to serve as the chair of the Legislative Latino Caucus, also announced her support of Barack Obama. She formerly supported Governor Richardson. Senator Escutia served 14 years in the state legislature.
Also in attendance were State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero (D-24), the highest ranking female in the State Legislature and chair of California Latinos for Obama; State Senator Dean Florez (D-16), the only Democratic State Senator to represent the Central Valley; and Pomona Mayor Norma Torres. Giselle Fernandez, community leader in Los Angeles and former journalist with CBS and NBC News, served as the Emcee.

Orange County - despite its reputation as a Republican stronghold - is second only to Los Angeles County for the number of Democrats living there.
Yet, it is too often written off by Democratic candidates.
Not so, the Obama campaign.
On January 13th, the Obama for America campaign opened it's new campaign HQ for Orange County in the city of Santa Ana, answering the call of an energized activist base.
Hundreds stopped by to celebrate and work, as Senator Obama's unprecedented grassroots campaign continued to build momentum and strength across the Golden State.
Stop by the office at 214 N. Broadway to get involved, or check out http://California.BarackObama.com for more info.
