WELCOME

Join us in the creation of the "Obama Cheer" project. 

We are a group of creative professionals in lower Manhattan who are volunteering our skills to rally our nation around a voice of hope.

Our goal is to teach America a cheer that will get us off our seat and ensure McCain a quick defeat! Let's create a cheer so inspirational, so energetic, so contagious that America will join 75,000 people at the Denver stadium to shout out - "O-B-A-M-A! Change is gonna start today!" 

So far, friends have gathered to begin the creative process. As the cheer develops, we will document the evolution and then set out with cameras in hand, and invite you to do the same, to teach and record EVERYONE who wants to do the "Obama Cheer".

Be part of the process as we document on video the evolution of the "Obama Cheer." Contact us via email.

Watch this space for how YOU can become involved in our video project to help Barack Obama become the next President of the United States!  (Scroll to the bottom to see how it all began.)

Think Tank #3

Last night's meeting was very eventful!  (video coming soon!) We were visited by ABC News Radio and they interviewed us about the Obama Cheer Project (we will link to the interview when it is live).  We were also visited by Floor Bremer, a reporter for Dutch Public Television in Amsterdam, who is following grass-roots initiatives for the Obama Campaign.  

Here is the video piece Floor created after visiting some of the creative groups in the city...

We really need the attention from press and friends to help spread the word and get people excited to rally.  The group last night came up with some alternate verses for the cheer, and each day the cheer gets stronger and more relevant.  These are some verses that were written at the meeting:

See us here with sweat and tears,
We can conquer all our fears.
Leaders should feel what we feel,
Then body mind and soul will heal

Politics make us divide,
But we are all the same inside,
Red or Blue, a separation,
Will no more define our nation

No more park and offshore drilling,
No more raising kids for killing,
Wind and Sun are free and clean,
We can make our planet green 

Send us your verses, or video tape showing us your cheer, and we may include it here on the blog or in the video montage!
