It's crunch time. We have ads ready that can make a difference in the states still up for grabs. Here's some of our newest work for Missouri, Ohio & Nevada:
Darrell Hanschen of Jackson, MO talks frankly about race, conservatism & the economy & how Obama is making inroads where none expected he could & why he is voting for Barack Obama:
Darrell Hanschen again (he's a pharmacist) sharing his story of customers asking him what pills they can do without when faced with a monthly bill that exceeds their ability to pay for medicines, with their lives at stake. He implores voters to get someone in the Whitehouse who cares about these people:
Korean War Vet Barclay Hastings of Columbus, Ohio. Barclay voted for John McCain in 2000, but in his words "wouldn't do that again." He asks us to support our Iraqi vets by bringing them home:
Sandy Austin is a Native American woman living with her son on the Paiute-Shoshone Reservation outside Fallon Nevada. Her health is the most important thing in life since her kidney failure. She goes regularly for dialysis and is on the waiting list for a kidney and a pancreas. She uses her tribal skills to make beaded bracelets and handbags emblazoned with 'Obama':
81 year old Jack Moore is from Nixa Missouri. He is a World War 2 veteran that served in the US Navy. Jack is a gun lover and treasures his father's hunting rifles. He knows that "Barack won't take his guns away."

Time is running out. We need your help. Our cable buys must close out on Monday (network at the end of the week, but the spots are a higher cost). The average per spot cost for these ads is $44 per airing. These citizens & the others in the Local Voices series have shown great courage to take a public stand for Obama, while living in small heavily Republican towns. Let us honor their courage by sharing their message with other community members so they will know that they are not alone.
Please help us get these on the air by contributing what you can. You can view all of our projects on our website and learn more about the local voices project, watch more videos & read about the amazing directors donating their time to this effort at our dedicated Local Voices for Obama site.
Please share these videos with any friends & supporters of Obama you know!
Thank you for all that you do,
