1st District National Delegate Ron Oshima passed away Friday May 28th and there will be a memorial for him Sun. June 13th at the Edmonds Convention Center Ochird Room, 4th Ave. in Edmonds between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Ron had been enturned during WWII in a camp just because he was from Japan. The Obama Campaign was his first involvement in elections and he believed Obama could change the country. He went to Denver, came home to work hard for change and stayed involved in the Democrats. We will miss him and send our best wishes to his family and friends he became so close to during the campaign.

Please share them with me! I have started a writer's blog and one of the segments on my blog is called "Spirit of Service," where I intend to tell the stories of people making a difference in their communities all around the country. The segment was inspired by our new president's own call out to all of us to embody a new "spirit of service." Check out the blog and email me your stories: www.accidental-rabbit-trails.blogspot.com

Thank you all for your hard work getting Barack elected. To think that a man with an mother from Kansas, father from Kenya, lived in Indonesia for 4 years as a child, raised in Hawii, with a middle name of Hussein has become president of the highest position in possibly the world has elevated our common conciousness. Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Democrats,

The brilliance and success of the Obama/Biden campaign is due in large part to our collective efforts at the grassroots level. This race is far from over, so I say - this is the time to be unwavering and to keep the faith. Now I will admit that there is some floundering and the noise from the media is off-putting, but one thing is for sure - we can and will march forward.

- we brought much needed discipline to the Democrat Party
- we had a successful Democratic Convention
- we changed the nature of the race (grassroots, internet and fundraising)
- we have a 50 state strategy with a specific focused on battle-ground states
- we brought young people out during the primary season
- we weathered and faced controversy head-on
- we reclaimed religion for the Demcratic Party
- we had a successful overseas trip to Iraq, Afghanistan and Europe
- we have a strong team in Obama and Biden

Of course I am preaching to the choir here, but sometimes we need to know where you've been to know where you're going. So, my advice for those who need it?

- turn off the "noise" and continue to do the "off the radar" grassroots work
- keep people talking about Obama/Biden
- no drama and no distractions from the "kitchen table" issues at hand
- trust Barack (he may make a mistake, then he gets to the core, finds the resolve and communicates it)
- trust the team that helped us this far (Axelrod, Ploughe and the staff in Chicago)
- take a break, breath, and put some music on (Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow or The Boss)
- have "faith" in what you are doing, in our team, in our movement, and in our country

...and finally, keep looking at the race from the perspective that got us this far – FROM THE ground UP.

Faithfully Yours,

Tyrone Brown
Proud Obamacrat
