VOTE BARACK '08. YES WE CAN! According to will.i.am, founding member and frontman of Black Eyed Peas, the "Yes We Can Song" was inspired by Senator Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and especially the speech Obama gave following the New Hampshire primary. He states, "It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me. . . ." Dylan says, "The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes." The music video includes excerpts from Obama's speech and appearances from several celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon. "I'm blown away by how many people wanted to come and be a part of it in a short amount of time. It was all out of love and hope for change and really representing America and looking at the world," will.i.am said.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this is a universally appealing 30 sec clip. Watch a 5 yr old do the Obama countdown. She's known the presidents since age 2, has formulated her choice from lots of her own ?'s and her own reading. She supports the troops (her uncle is in Iraq) but is opposed to the war. She wants lead free toys and a Purple Nation (idealistic, but hey, she is 5 yrs old.) But, her wants ARE possible - Obama '08

Barack Obama speaks in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center, on matters not just of race and recent remarks but of the fundamental path by which America can work together to pursue a better future.

people say Obama's words are just words... but... when was the last time "words" weren't important...???... when was the last time a great leader didn't use words to lead...??... when was the last time a person didn't use words to describe how they felt...?... when was the last time "words" weren't empowering...?... and we can all recall the last time "words"  were used to divide us and install fear... Bush used words to fear us into voting for him the second time around... terror this... terror that... nuclear here... weapons of mass destruction there... and those words effected a lot of people's choices... "enough is enough"... let's rebuild... let's change ourselves... let's allow positivity to guide us... let's take action.... let's activate our passion... we are Americans.... and this is the first time in forever that someone running for president represents "US"... some say this is all excitement... I call it "proud to be an American"... some say this whole Obama movement is "cult like"... well... if it comes across cult like... then... the cult is called America... the Obama movement is connecting America. and it has made "US" realize our importance... the youth is excited and activated... adults are passionate and motivated... the elderly are proud to know the country they built is in safe hands... we are one... for too long politics has been corrupt... separate from the American people... with agendas that go against what the American people "need"... education... health... safety... jobs etc... politicians have spoken a different language... making it so the youth and poor people feel as if voting was only for the wealthy and old people... making "US" feel as if "we" had no voice... making "US" feel powerless... making it feel like if "we" did vote it wouldn't change anything... but wait... that did happen... some of us voted, and it didn't change anything... we were in the dark... we had no voice... we were powerless... because America was not a united America... and "they" spoke a different language...  and they had an agenda different from our well being...  correct me if I'm wrong... or speak up if I'm missing something...  we want education, health, safety, and good jobs...right???...  oh yeah... and "a healthy planet to live on"... but here we are... in a war... poor education... poor health programs... the dollar is down... the planet, polluted... the rich, richer... and the poor, struggling... with sky high gas prices to top it all off... and now even the rich aren't really rich internationally because our dollar is has fallen so far down... in our slumber... a very small few got really rich... because when you're sleeping... "it's hard to change agendas"... we know what happened in 2000 and 2004... but in 2008... it's different... we are awake... and there is a movement... and "it's hard to change a movement"... last time "we" didn't have a movement... America wasn't united... and now "United and "Standing"...for something... we know the power of "US"... and we have a person who represents the "U.S."...  "US"... "we are the ones we've been waiting for"... I'm proud to be an American... will.i.am
