Touching Obama ad w elderly Ohio Vet supporting Obama:

[mod mom]

I want to introduce you to a group called truthandhope.org. These filmmakers have donated their time to make campaign ads across the country featuring local individuals that connect with the community they live in. They were in Columbus last week and filmed an ad with Barclay Hasting, Ward 21 Committeeman, and head of the Fightin' 21st. Barclay has worked so hard over the past few years to develop his neighborhood into the most organized club in all of Franklin County.

I hope you will consider making a donation and helping put this ad on the air throughout all of Ohio. Click the link below to watch the video.

About the Project

A group of award-winning filmmakers have quietly formed a production army and have created 12 amazingly impactful Obama ads - This is all about Missouri, Ohio and Nevada.

From a humble grassroots endeavor, the Local Voices for Obama has grown into something extraordinary, an ad campaign giving voice to courageous swing state voters affirming their choice of Barack Obama for president. Neighbor to Neighbor Validation and encouragement and most importantly permission to Vote Obama - The ads are shot in key counties of battleground states and are being broadcast strategically in local markets to give these voices a compelling way to speak to their undecided neighbors.

We now NEED to band together and help get these ads to the next level. Currently they are running at night on Cable - They NEED to be prime time, we think you will agree - Can you help?

1) Make a donation up to $5000 here: http://truthandhope.org/donate
(Select Local Voices)
2) Let as many people know about this as possible, especially people in the press and people who still have any money.

It's extraordinary to think of the $150 million Obama raised last month was made through donations that AVERAGED $85 dollars. We are involved in something truly grassroots, a turn of events that will inspire generations to come. 1 week to go! All hands on deck!
