Welcome to Kentucky Republicans for Obama


By wes_sydnor - Posted on 30 March 2008

To all Kentucky members - Welcome.  My intent with this group is to provide as much information and coordination with the local Barack Obama groups and give an outlet for Republicans within the Commonwealth to participate in Senator Obama's campaign for president.  I will admit that my views would be considered moderate, and that there are components of each party's platform that I agree and disagree with.  I also believe that Senator McCain is a great statesman and patriot.  However, we find ourselves with the once in a lifetime opportunity to elect a candidate that : 1) Transcends political party, 2) inspires those that hear his message to be better Americans, 3) will empower and engage the next generation of voters to participate in our democracy.

We must take advantage of this opportunity in time to engage a new generation of voters who have long been disenfranchised.  Along the way, we will meet new friends, have fun, and participate in one of the most significant political movements of our time. 

Thank you for participating and for your patience as I get our state page up to date.

WELCOME Kentucky! to RFO! Iowan here. I loved what you wrote, too, and agree that McCain is a great statesman and patriot! I still believe Obama to be the glue that will hold the country together as we repair and regroup for the next phase in the history of our country!
Thanks so much!  Glad to be part of the fun!  We just need to clean house a bit, regroup, and come back in 4-8 years with a revised gameplan.  Obama will be exactly what we need to heal old wounds and set the stage for real political debate, rather than pro-Bush vs. anti-Bush...

Welcome wes-sydnor!

He who has hope has everything.  Hopemongers are we!

Hello Kentucky,

I am a native Texan.

I called in to our local Rt. wing radio station this morning and disputed negative comments about Sen. Obama and I made it clear there are many Republicans supporting Obama and the host tried to chastise me for being Catholic and supporting Obama, I referred him to www.RomanCatholicsforObama.com and explained that we are willing to compromise on our end for the good of America and Sen. Obama is the best hope.

Yes he can change this country for the positive.

I believe the host was stunned from his reaction...
