In thanks to all the volunteers, staffers, and candidates in the 2008 election cycle, Nebraska For Obama has released the following video “Right Now.” It is a remake of the 1992 Van Halen video of the same name.

On August 9th, Lincoln For Obama hosted “The Audacity of Hope” Rally with Senator Ben Nelson, Lincoln Mayor Chris Beutler, and Nebraska Democratic Party State Chairman-elect Vic Covalt. It was a wonderful event that drew around 400 people and local media attention.

Lincoln For Obama “Audacity Of Hope” Rally  

Please join Lincoln for Obama in celebrating the anniversary of
Senator Barack Obama’s famous 2004 speech
with a very special guest:
Senator Ben Nelson

 “I’m not talking about blind optimism here — the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don’t think about it, or the health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about something more substantial. It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too. Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!”
- Sen. Barack Obama (July 27, 2004—Democratic National Convention, Boston, MA)
