"...the real work of democracy begins far from the closed doors and marbled halls of Washington. It begins on street corners and front porches; in living rooms and meeting halls with ordinary Americans who see the world as it is and realize that we have it within our power to remake the world as it should be.

It is with that hope that we began this unlikely journey – the hope that if we could go block by block, city by city, state by state and build a movement that spanned race and region; party and gender; if we could give young people a reason to vote and the young at heart a reason to believe again; if we could inspire a nation to come together again, then we could turn the page on the politics that's shut us out, let us down, and told us to settle.  We could write a new chapter in the American story."

Maria Shriver endorses Barack Obama at a surprise appearance in Los Angeles.

Former President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard, tells the story of why she switched from supporting Hillary Clinton to supporting Barack Obama.  Her reasons echo my own.  I have a great desire to see a woman in the White House, but I also feel it is important for that woman to be someone I can trust to tell the truth about herself and her opponents, to move us into a new era of truth, integrity and transparency.  Hillary Clinton has shown time and again throughout this campaign that she still operates under the old political paradigm that will not lead this country in a new direction but keep us mired down in "politics as usual."  I have watched Barack Obama throughout this campaign and seen how comfortable he appears around powerful women. In listening to Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy endorse him recently and to his acceptance of those endorsements, I was actually moved to tears.  I have not been so inspired by a candidate for president since JFK.
