The Story of “Fired up! Ready to go!” – Obama for America 2012

Posted on by

Are you in? my.barackobama.com Edith S. Childs is the one that got Barack Obama fired up. While attending a small campaign event in Greenwood, South Carolina, then-Senator Obama first heard the chant “Fired up! Ready to Go!”. As then-Senator Obama shared in his pre-election night speech in Virginia: “After a minute or so I’m feeling kind of fired up. I’m feeling like I’m ready to go! So I joined in the chant. And it feels good. And for the rest of the day, even after we left Greenwood, I’d see my staff and I’d say, ‘Are you fired up?’ They’d say ‘We’re fired up boss. Are you ready to go?’ I’d say, ‘I’m ready to go.’ So some people start putting ‘Fired up! Ready to go!’ on their shirts. Some people start putting ‘Fired up! Ready to go!’ on signs. Everybody’s saying ‘Fired up!’ and ‘Ready to go!’ It shows you what one voice can do. One voice can change a room. And if a voice can change a room it can change a city. And if it can change a city it can change a state. And if it can change a state it can change the nation. And if it can change the nation it can change the world. Your voice can change the world.” April 4th, 2012 is the one year anniversary of the 2012 campaign. Help President Obama stand up for working Americans. Join this campaign now. my.barackobama.com

Security America Mortgage Shake President Obama’s Hand in Fort Bliss, TX While Recently Deployed Military are Praised & Educated about New Health & Home Loan Advantages

Posted on by


Fort Bliss, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 17, 2012

As Americans grow in support to help military members and their families transition back into homes within the United States, the U.S. President makes several appearances nationwide – meeting the military heroes personally to offer tribute. With a ‘mission to serve’ attitude, veterans learn more about VA home loan benefits and additional changes to the executive priorities of the presidential cabinet.

Texas veterans can now find more information about VA eligibility, entitlement, support at VA website; va.gov. New veteran support can be found within local veteran posting including information about jobs, affordable real estate homes, and many other growing VA benefits supported by Texas based companies. America’s preferred VA mortgage lenders, such as Security America Mortgage, also support veterans by sponsoring events with non-profit organizations to assist the Texas Commission for Veterans with VA relocation, VA housing education, and VA home loan advantages for military members throughout the nation.

On September 1, 2012, President Obama met military families in Fort Bliss, Texas to congratulate each active duty and veteran service member for a “job well done”. According to “The Daily Beast” magazine, Obama visited the Texas veterans and families all while shaking as many hands of those who attended the crowd.

While congratulating the U.S. Heroes, Obama shook the hands of veterans, their families, and active troops all while communicating his appeasement over their job well done. Obama further addressed the crowd of military service members with an announcement over the “new executive order” that was signed on Friday, August 31, 2012, called, “IMPROVING ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR VETERANS, SERVICE MEMBERS, AND MILITARY FAMILIES”. (Click for Full Length White House Story Here)

“[...By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order as follows:

Section 1. Policy. Since September 11, 2001, more than two million service members have deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. Long deployments and intense combat conditions require optimal support for the emotional and mental health needs of our service members and their families. The need for mental health services will only increase in the coming years as the Nation deals with the effects of more than a decade of conflict. Reiterating and expanding upon the commitment outlined in my Administration's 2011 report, entitled "Strengthening Our Military Families-Security America Mortgage" we have an obligation to evaluate our progress and continue to build an integrated network of support capable of providing effective mental health services for veterans, service members, and their families.

Our public health approach must encompass the practices of disease prevention and the promotion of good health for all military populations throughout their lifespans, both within the health care systems of the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs and in local communities. Our efforts also must focus on both outreach to veterans and their families and the provision of high quality mental health treatment to those in need. Coordination between the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense during service members' transition to civilian life is essential to achieving these goals.

Ensuring that all veterans, service members (Active, Guard, and Reserve alike), and their families receive the support they deserve is a top priority for my Administration. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve all facets of military mental health, this order directs the Secretaries of Defense, Health and Human Services, Education, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security to expand suicide prevention strategies and take steps to meet the current and future demand for mental health and substance abuse treatment services for veterans, service members, and their families...]“

Hiring 1,600 new mental-health professionals and increase the agencys crisis-line capacity to allow those in need of professional assistance to meet with a counselor within 24 hours.

Last, Obama encouraged all military members who fought in more traumatic battles overseas to be open with those around them, and to further seek out as much support as they need, as all resources are being given to them by the government, including mental-health benefits, free counseling centers, and the many VA support groups spread out across Texas.

For military members looking for a home in Texas, Obama provided the masses with reliable real estate resources for veterans, including lists of approved Real Estate Agents. Financial hardships can be a challenge to overcome for veterans transitioning back into the civilian life, but luckily, Texas has been one of the few states in the nation to bypass the economic downfall of the repression.

Above all, the expanding VA support serves veterans with hope for change toward a new and glorious future to come for Texas homeowners.







Table – Obama for America TV Ad

Posted on by

Read the President’s plan: OFA.BO During the last weeks of this campaign there will be debates, speeches and more ads. But if I could sit down with you in your living room or around the kitchen table here’s what I’d say: When I took office we were losing nearly 800000 jobs a month and were mired in Iraq. Today I believe that as a nation we are moving forward again. But we have much more to do to get folks back to work and make the middle class secure again. Now, Governor Romney believes that with that even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy and fewer regulations on Wall Street all of us will prosper. In other words he’d double down on the same trickle down policies that led to the crisis in the first place. So what’s my plan? First, we create a million new manufacturing jobs and help businesses double their exports. Give tax breaks to companies that invest in America, not that ship jobs overseas. Second, we cut our oil imports in half and produce more American-made energy, oil, clean-coal, natural gas, and new resources like wind, solar and bio-fuels—all while doubling the fuel efficiencies of cars and trucks. Third, we insure that we maintain the best workforce in the world by preparing 100000 additional math and science teachers. Training 2 million Americans with the job skills they need at our community colleges. Cutting the growth of tuition in half and expanding student aid so more Americans can afford it. Fourth, a balanced plan to reduce our deficit by four trillion …

Learn More: OFA.BO What a president believes matters. Mitt Romney’s companies were pioneers in outsourcing US jobs to low-wage countries. He supports tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. President Obama believes in insourcing. He fought to save the US auto industry, and favors tax cuts for companies that bring jobs home. Outsourcing versus insourcing. It matters.

Evangelist Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, Calls for Global Day of Fasting and Prayer for America and the World

Posted on by

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Daniel Whyte III says that “on Wednesday, May 9, 2012 the President of the United States and leader of the free world, Barack Obama, broke thousands of years of Godly biblical tradition and announced to the world that he supports homosexual marriage.” Along with other fasting opportunities, Evangelist Daniel Whyte III is calling upon all believers to join him in fasting at least one meal every Wednesday through the election (everyone is encouraged to fast the whole 24 hour period, but if you cannot do that, please fast at least one meal), praying and asking God for the following:

“1. That all races understand that neither Romney nor Obama is the answer, but Jesus is the answer.

2. That we as pastors and churches repent of our hypocrisy because the church is more guilty than the government for the state of affairs in this country. The Bible says, “Judgment must begin at the house of God.”

3. That both Obama and Romney, who claim to be believers, would confess their sins and repent of lying, dishonesty, hypocrisy, and intentionally deceiving people for political gain.

4. The president of Gospel Light Society is also asking that Christians “pray that President Obama will repent of being a Judas and betraying the Lord, betraying the Lord’s church, betraying the Word of God, betraying thousands of black, white, and hispanic pastors who tried to help him, betraying America, and betraying his own people who have overwhelmingly supported him; and as a Christian, that he would stand up, humble himself, and apologize to the nation for making such an abominable decision and statement for political advantage and money.”

5. For the salvation of millions of people in this country and in the world, including those in the homosexual community.”

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God…” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

“And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29)

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

This twenty-four hour fast will begin after breakfast on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 and will end at breakfast on Thursday, May 17, 2012. This one-day fast will commence an extended period of fasting and prayer which will end on November 6, 2012 (election day). Gospel Light Society is calling on all Christians around the world who believe in traditional marriage and who are willing to stand up for God’s Word to unite in fasting and prayer for any length of time during this 165 day period. Those who wish to participate may fast for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 30 days, 40 days, or any amount of time that God leads them to fast.

Gospel Light Society International is a global online ministry that seeks to present the Gospel to all people, in every language, around the world “by any means necessary”. In many languages, GLS seeks to share the Gospel of Christ and help new believers grow in the saving knowledge of Jesus by connecting them with a church or a home Bible study group.

Daniel Whyte III has spoken in meetings across the United States and in over twenty-five foreign countries. He is the author of over twenty books. He is also the president of Gospel Light Society International, a worldwide evangelistic ministry that reaches thousands with the Gospel each week, as well as president of Torch Ministries International, a Christian literature ministry which publishes a monthly magazine called The Torch Leader. He is heard by thousands each week on his radio broadcasts, The Prayer Motivator Devotional and the Prayer Motivator Minute, as well as Gospel Light Minute X, the Gospel Light Minute, the Sunday Evening Evangelistic Message and The Prophet Daniel’s Report. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology from Bethany Divinity College, a Bachelor’s degree in Religion from Texas Wesleyan University, and a Master’s degree in Religion from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been married to the former Meriqua Althea Dixon, of Christiana, Jamaica for twenty-five years. God has blessed their union with seven children.
