From James Dobson Doesn't Speak For Me

James Dobson doesn't speak for me is a coalition of pastors and other Christians, led by Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell who are standing up for our Christian faith and supporting Barack Obama. We are signing in our individual capacities and not on behalf of our churches or denominations.

JAMES DOBSON DOESN'T SPEAK FOR ME

James Dobson doesn't speak for me.

He doesn't speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide;

He doesn't speak for me when he speaks as the final arbiter on the meaning of the Bible;

James Dobson doesn't speak for me when he uses the beliefs of others as a line of attack;

He doesn't speak for me when he denigrates his neighbor's views when they don't line up with his;

He doesn't speak for me when he seeks to confine the values of my faith to two or three issues alone;

What does speak for me is David's psalm celebrating how good and pleasant it is when we come together in unity;

Micah speaks for me in reminding us that the Lord requires us to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him;

The prophet Isaiah speaks for me in his call for all to come and reason together and also to seek justice, encourage the oppressed and to defend the cause of the vulnerable;

The book of Nehemiah speaks for me in its example to work with our neighbors, not against them, to restore what was broken in our communities;

The book of Matthew speaks for me in saying to bless those that curse you and pray for those who persecute you;

The words of the apostle Paul speak for me in saying that words spoken and deeds done without love amount to nothing.

The apostle John speaks for me in reminding us of Jesus' command to love one another. The world will know His disciples by that love.

These words speak for me. But when James Dobson attacks Barack Obama, James Dobson doesn’t speak for me.

Who is Barack OBama

WHO IS BARACK OBAMA?

There are many things people do not know about BARACK OBAMA. It is every American's duty to read this message and pass it along to all of their friends and loved ones. 

Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the

shower. Barack Obama says the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

every time he sees an American flag. He also ends

every sentence by saying, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE

FOR ALL." Click here for video of Obama quietly

mouthing the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in his sleep. A

tape exists of Michelle Obama saying the PLEDGE OF

ALLEGIANCE at a conference on PATRIOTISM.Every

weekend, Barack and Michelle take their daughters

HUNTING. 

Barack Obama is a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. He

has one HAND over his HEART at all times. He

occasionally switches when one arm gets tired, which

is almost never because he is STRONG. Barack Obama

has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his

stomach. It's upside-down, so he can read it while

doing sit-ups.

There's only one artist on Barack Obama's

iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. 

Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American. Barack Obama goes to church

every morning. He goes to church every afternoon. He

goes to church every evening. He is IN CHURCH RIGHT

NOW. Barack Obama's new airplane includes a

conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH.

Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL. Barack

Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a

BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM

AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT.

Barack Obama says that Americans cling to GUNS and

RELIGION because they are AWESOME.

Obama's Fort Lauderdale Rally

It's been six weeks since I've posted a blog entry. May was a busy month of working on the Obama campaign. It culminated on May 23rd when Senator Obama came to the Fort Lauderdale for a rally at the BankAtlantic Center. 

I got off work at noon that Friday, came home, changed into my Obama tee shirt and cap, got Larry and our neighbor Carmen and off we went to Sunrise for the rally.

What impressed us was how organized it was. Everything went like clockwork. After clearing TSA we got into the stadium kind of looking around to what section ramp we were going to go up when a young man approached us and said that we've been selected for seating behind Senator Obama. He let us make a bathroom stop and then escorted us to our seats. 

One of the things done differently at the Obama rally which I never saw done at Kerry rallies, was that hundreds of Obama volunteers were getting names and email addresses of people not signed up to volunteer and getting folks registered to vote. They went through every row in that arena.

The Cuban reggae band was fantastic and everybody clapped to the music. 

My congressman, Rep. Robert Wexler served as MC and gave a wonderful speech. 

As the time got nearer for Obama to arrive, people had their cameras fixed on the entrance where the speakers had come thru. 

But then, out of nowhere, Obama is walking the circumference of the arena walking toward the stage and the crowd went wild.

It was a great event. Afterward, we went to the Wilton Manors area of FTL to eat dinner at the Old Florida Fishhouse which was fantastic.
