Milwaukee, WI (BlackNews.com) - ObamaMania sweeps across America with the presence of U.S. Senator Barack Obama. The Junior Senator from Illinois, who has recently achieved a political rock star status, has become a key component in the Democratic Party's bid and a viable threat to the current field of seasoned candidates for the White House in 2008. Recently he announced that he might be considering a run for the Presidency. Thousands of Americans looking for a fresh face and alternative to the usual pack of democrats have begun the chant, "RunBarackRun!" Leading the charge is a new grass-roots campaign website aimed at encouraging the Senator to run by obtaining 1,000,000+ online petition signatures, providing a blog, links to Obama related stories, videos and even Obama related souvenir merchandise and books, with portion of the proceeds going to the Obama campaign. People for Barack Obama.com – www.peopleforobama.com - was developed to show support for the candidacy of Barack Obama for President. Its creator hopes it will be a point of reference for American voters who would like to see Barack Obama not only run, but succeed in becoming the 44th President of the United States. The African American community is particularly asked to support this drive by signing and circulating the online petition and website among eligible voters and alike. Let's continue to show that Black Americans can make a difference in the presidential elections. So support this cause, our site, and the candidacy of Barack Obama for President in 2008. Even If Obama decides not to run, we hope that our signatures and support will not only flex our power among the Democratic Party, but also convince Obama to accept (if asked) a vice-president's post on the democratic ticket. To sign petition go to: www.peopleforobama.com For interview opportunities please contact the site creator P. Thomas Thadison III by email at info@peopleforobama.com (preferred - with phone interviews to be scheduled) or call 414-350-4865 after 4PM CST.
