Naim --

I have some exciting news to share about the future of this grassroots movement.

I recorded a personal message for you. Please take a minute to watch the video:

What you built can't stop now. Together with our partners at the Democratic National Committee and its new chairman, Governor Tim Kaine, this movement will continue organizing and bringing new people into the political process.

The challenges facing our country are too great, and our journey to change America is just beginning.

I look forward to working side-by-side with you in the months and years ahead.

Thanks,

Barack

One week from today, on January 19th, Barack and I will join thousands of people all across the country for an extraordinary day of service.

I recorded a short video to tell you more about this important effort. Please take a minute to watch it and sign up to host or attend a service event near you.

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are committing to renew America together, one community at a time.

Whatever service activity you organize or take part in -- cleaning up a park, giving blood, volunteering at a homeless shelter, or mentoring an at-risk youth -- you can help start this important journey. But this is about more than just a single day of service, it's the beginning of an ongoing commitment to your community.

Monday, January 19th, is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Dr. King taught us to live a life of service, and he led by example. He once said:

"If you want to be important -- wonderful. If you want to be recognized -- wonderful. If you want to be great -- wonderful. But, recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That's a new definition of greatness."

Barack and I will be volunteering in Washington, D.C., our new home. I hope you'll join us by taking part in this national call to service in your community:

It will take ordinary citizens working together with a common purpose to get this country back on track. This national day of service is an important first step in our continuing commitment.

Now is the time to remind all Americans what ordinary people can accomplish when we stand together.

Thank you,

Michelle

Israel will pay for it one day

The GAZA massacre
I honestly thought that we had solved the problem back then when there is an agreement of the ceasefire and the upliftment of the blockade and also the intervention of the Group of FOUR.
I am sure Israel's attempt to wipe out the Palestinian's cause will not end when the bombings, carnage and the killings stop.

Kuala Trengganu By Election 2

In the Kuala Trengganu Parliamentary by election, PAS named the Wakaf Mempelam State Assemblyman as their candidate.

He will be up against Wan Farid of the Barisan Nasional and another Independent candidate.

Even though Wan Farid is the underdog in this battle for Kuala Trengganu, there is no guarantee that this son of Mohd Endot will be getting it easy.

There is no certainty that the three state constituencies that the PAS controlled as against the solo constituency that is with the Barisan Nasional can ensure a PAS victory.

Kuala Trengganu By Election

Barisan Nasional is now the under dog in the Kuala Trengganu Parliamentary seat by election. It is
going to be an uphill task for all the BN workers whilst the PAS workers can be rest assured they will get the support from the three constituencies that they have captured in the 12th G E.
The less than 700 majority that the BN Parliamentarian won on behalf of Barisan Nasional is too small a margin for any comfort. But nevertheless, Kuala Trengganu is not Permatang Pauh. So the underdog still have a good chance to retain that Parliament Seat although the symbol looks smaller.

Naim --

This holiday season, the grassroots movement you helped build can make a big difference for those in need.

I hope you will join me in supporting your favorite charity or contributing to causes that are especially meaningful to me and my family.

While many of us will spend the holidays counting our blessings and sharing dinner with loved ones, millions of people around the country won't be so fortunate. Donating to your local food bank will help provide a holiday meal to people in your community who can't afford one.

Talking with the families of deployed troops was one of the most rewarding experiences I had during the campaign. Giving to Operation USO Care Package is a great way to send members of our military stationed around the world a reminder that someone back home is thinking of them.

This is a time to celebrate our blessings, the new year, and a new era for our country. But it's also a time to come together on behalf of those who need our help.

Do what you can to help today by locating your local food bank and giving your support:

Or send a care package to an American in uniform:

Thank you for all that you do and have a very happy holiday season,

Michelle

Bless them all

If you woke up this morningwith more health than illness,You are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week. If you have never experienced the danger of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, You are ahead of > 20 million people around the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back, a roof overyour head and a place to sleep,You are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank,in your wallet, and spare change in a dish some place, You are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If your parents are still married and alive,You are very rare, especially nowadays. If you hold up your head with a smileon your face and are truly thankful,You are blessed because the majority can,but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder,You are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch. If you can read this message,You are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all. You are so blessed in ways you may never even know. If you are feeling blessed, repay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others. Remind others that they are also blessed in many ways and to be grateful always.

The Obama small deed

Obama Helped Stranger 20 Years Ago

Oct 05, 2008

The Norwegian newspaper VG has reported a truly amazing story about a newly-wed trying to get to Norway to be with her husband, and the stranger who helped pay an unexpected luggage surcharge.

The blog 'Leisha's Random Thoughts' has translated the story:

It was 1988, and Mary Andersen was in line at the Miami airport checking in for a long flight to Norway to be with her husband. When it was finally Mary's turn, she got the message that would crush her bubbling feeling of happiness.

"You'll have to pay a 103 dollar surcharge if you want to bring both those suitcases to Norway ," the man behind the counter said.

Mary had no money. Her new husband had travelled ahead of her to Norway , and she had no one else to call.

"I was completely desperate and tried to think which of my things I could manage without. But I had already made such a careful selection of my most prized possessions, " says Mary.

As tears streamed down her face, she heard a 'gentle and friendly voice' behind her saying, "That's okay, I'll pay for her."

Mary turned around to see a tall man whom she had never seen before. He had a gentle and kind voice that was still firm and decisive. "The first thing I thought was, Who is this man?"

Although this happened 20 years ago, Mary still remembers the authority that radiated from the man. He was nicely dressed, with brown leather shoes, a cotton shirt open at the throat and khaki pants, says Mary.

She was thrilled to be able to bring both her suitcases to Norway and assured the stranger that he would get his money back. The man wrote his name and address on a piece of paper that he gave to Mary. She thanked him repeatedly. When she finally walked off towards the security checkpoint, he waved goodbye to her.

Who was the man?

Barack Obama.

Twenty years later, she is thrilled that the friendly stranger at the airport may be the next President and has voted for him already and donated 100 dollars to his campaign:

"He was my knight in shining armor," says Mary, smiling.

She paid the 103 dollars back to Obama the day after she arrived in Norway . At that time he had just finished his job as a poorly paid community worker in Chicago , and had started his law studies at prestigious Harvard university.

Mary even convinced her parents to vote for him: In the spring of 2006 Mary's parents had heard that Obama was considering a run for president, but that he had still not decided. They chose to write a letter in which they told him that he would receive their votes. At the same time, they thanked Obama for helping their daughter 18 years earlier.

And Obama replied. In a letter to Mary's parents dated May 4th 2006 and stamped "United States Senate, Washington DC ' Barack Obama writes:

'I want to thank you for the lovely things you wrote about me and for reminding me of what happened at Miami airport. I'm happy I could help back then, and I'm delighted to hear that your daughter is happy in Norway . Please send her my best wishes. Sincerely, Barack Obama , United States Senator'.

The parents sent the letter on to Mary.

Mary says that when her friends and associates talk about the election, especially when race relations is the heated subject, she relates the story of the kind man who helped out a stranger-in- need over twenty years ago, years before he had even thought about running for high office.

UPDATE: Also, remember this was 1988, when 100 dollars was quite a bit of money, compared to today's value.

Truly a wonderful story, and something that needs to be passed along in the maelstorm of fear-and-smear politics we are being subjected to right now.

All the best to the two girls

Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz is the incumbent Chief of the Women's wing
and Dato Seri Sharizat Jalil is the incumbent Deputy Chief. So they
have decided to have a go at each other instead of adhering to the
compromy agreed earlier on. Shahrizat supporters do not want to
wait that long till June, 2009 and Kamiliah had pressured not to bow
down to all the understandings that had been reached amongst the EXCO.

In the recent General Election, Shahrizat lost to a younger woman, in accepting
to challenge Rafidah, she must have thought that her chances are and will be
better against an older woman. If young is strong and old is weak, than she had
decided on a risk which she can gain rather than lose. But if more nominations
means strong and less nominations means weak, she has to turn the table around.

Best of luck ladies. The men used to say BMW (best man win), but in this case of
BMW (may the BEST MOTHER WIN). Hopefully the women members of UMNO
can unite quickly after the contest to face the daunting task of winning the next GE.

AMERIKA SYARIKAT BOLEH

Barack Obama telah berjaya didalam pilihanraya Presiden
di Amerika Syarikat dan akan menjadi Presiden Kulit Hitam
Pertama Amerika sebagai Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang ke
empat puloh empat (44). Apa yang hendak diperjuangkan oleh
President Elect Obama ialah AMERIKA SYARIKAT BOLEH.

Pertabalan Barack Obama akan berlangsung pada 20 hb Januari, 2009.

CONGRATULATIONS YAB Dato' Seri Mohd Najib

Congratulations YAB Dato' Seri Hj Mohd Najib bin Tun Hj Abdul Razak for winning the UMNO's Presidency without contest. Under the UMNO election rule, anyone contesting the President's post must obtain at least 30% of the nominations from the 191 UMNO divisions. As at 4-11 pm on the 2nd of November, 2008 - YAB Dato' Seri Hj Mohd Najib had obtained 134 nominations.
YBM Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah had obtained 1 nomination. By the end of the day, YAB Dato' Seri Hj Mohd Najib would have secured another 5 more nominations bringing it to a total of 139 nominations from 140 UMNO divisions. Even if YBM Tan Sri Tengku Razaleigh gets all the balance nominations, he still will not qualify. There are another 51 UMNO divisions to complete their meetings and one foresees that the President's nomination will go to YAB Dato' Seri Hj Mohd Najib bin Tun Hj Abdul Razak. Congratulations to Pak Lah for making a very wise decision not to contest the President's post. Now UMNO can and should unite under the new President to move forward to champion the cause of the Malays and Malaysians.
