A compelling explanation.
I was reading Baratunde's blog, which you'll want to visit if you've ever wanted to get an informative and witty take on why so many folks are feeling passionate about Barack Obama. Last week, he posted a friend of his, Derrick Ashong's brilliant break down of Barack's stance on Healthcare while under "friendly fire" outside a recent debate.
That video received so much response, Derrick posted a video of his own to explain the circumstances behind that interview and his more emotional reasons for his support. Both are compelling and for many of us, an example of what an informed voter should aspire to be. I'm sharing the videos here as Baratunde and so many others have done, to get the word out.
And a personal thanks to folks like Baratunde, Derrick and others who passionately and eloquently spread the word.

Obamas health care plan was one thing about him i was skeptical about and wasnt to happy about. Derricks videos made me feel a little better about it all.
Thanks.
You're going to make me rethink my stance on "the youth" aren't you?
Pretty sneaky...
So what had happened was...
I had no choice...having worried significantly about the ever increasing proximity of the the battle to gain the right to vote and its impact on whether or not the sacrifices made to win the hard-earned right still hold relevance for the youngsters of my son's generation. In the end, I was gratified to discover that yes, once again for reasons more pertinent/relevant to the issues of today with which they are faced, the next generation like its predecessors has its own reasons for continuing to fan the flame.
Therefore...
I had no choice but to steal these videos in order to screen them at my spot in the hope that the true message "DON'T SLEEP" will be perpetuated!
