Brothers and Sisters For Obama!

Brothers and Sisters for Obama is a new and inspiring grassroots political movement of like-minded leaders, thinkers and citizens that support the ideals and mission of Senator Barack Obama's run for President of the United States. 

Purpose

The purpose of Brothers and Sisters for Obama is to reach out to African-American men and women, young and old to work in unison with all organizations nationwide to make a persuasive case for supporting and voting for Senator Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States. 

Mission

We believe it is our responsibility to make sure that the political ideals that represent the African American community are represented accurately.  We have created this outlet to educate, inform and serve the Black community, while sharing the facts and benefits of supporting Sen. Obama for President. We believe that our support of Barack Obama is because we fully believe that he is the most fully capable and qualified candidate to lead America in the 21st Century. But we also feel it is our responsibility to acknowledge the historical significance his Presidency would have on reshaping and strengthening the image of the African-American community throughout the world as well as within the Black community itself.   We intend to follow the inspiring ideology and charge that Senator Barack Obama has pledged to and lives up to, to boldly seek change while being the change that we seek in our communities and beyond. 

Join us in changing history!

Objectives / Tasks:

• 
  To recruit African Americans who can identify with the Purpose, Vision and Mission of the Organization.
• To make a firm, compelling and persuasive case why Senator Obama is the most qualified to be President of the United States.
• To create a strategic plan that creates opportunities for people in the African-American community to have access to the facts to have their own voice in the 2008 election.
• To identify the greatest areas of need for the organization that will make the greatest impact.
• To create a “talking points” article to be used for arguing on behalf of Senator Obama
• To develop a "street team" whose purpose is to promote Senator Obama on the Primary Day and Super Tuesday and work to share information that would convince non-committed voters that Senator Obama is the right person for the job.
