Senator Joe Biden was in Nashua, New Hampshire today and motivated the crowd at the Nashua Community College.

The crowd of over 500 felt the urgency as the days tick away toward November 4th. This election is different. We can no longer sit back and wait for others to make it better. This election is about us; each one of us; you, me, and our neighbors coming out and talking to each other about how we can change the world ourselves. This is new.

Senator Biden knows the change we need. You know the change we need. It's clear and it includes addressing the healthcare crisis, the energy crisis, the housing crisis, the education crisis... how many crises can we take all at once? We need solutions that make sense for all hard working Americans, like those below, who came to hear about this change.

We need you to motivate. We need you to get involved. We need you to talk to your neighbors in New Hampshire and spread the word. Without you, we cannot reach out to everyone it will take to win this crucial state. It's going to be close here in New Hampshire, real close. There are so many Independents, Republicans, and Democrats that want the change Barack Obama and Joe Biden will bring. You can bring that change too! Come to your nearest Field Office. Undecided voters are waiting. They need to hear from you. Our problems won't get solved without you!

NH Veterans for Obama Steering Committee Roundtable in Manchester, NH

Thursday night, at the American Legion Sweeney Post in Manchester, New Hampshire a group of Veterans met at a roundtable to discuss Senator Barack Obama's stance on Veteran affairs and benefits. Medal of Honor recipient and Vietnam veteran, Captain Paul "Bud" Bucha, joined them to kickoff the New Hampshire Veterans for Obama Steering Committee.

Bill from the Manchester Sweeney Post started off:

We need a change in this country. We need a change now. We need to bring somebody into the White House who will speak for us veterans, who will get us a VA facility like we need here in Manchester; the only state in the United States that doesn't have a full service VA hospital. We need people here to help us. We need Obama in office. We need Carol Shea-Porter in office. We need Governor Shaheen in office. We need everyone to help us veterans. A lot of guys who have got a lot of issues, they can't get them taken care of here. They have to travel to Massachusetts. They have to travel to Vermont, whether it's for cancer treatment or mental health facilities.

Jim Smith, retired Air Force General, served 28 years mainly as a fighter pilot, introduced Captain Bucha:

I supported Senator Obama early because I saw in him someone who understood that the last seven years of this nation's experience did not match what our nation stood for. And I think in Senator Obama we've got a candidate, that not only is right for this time, he probably represents the best candidate for change we've seen in several generations.

I wanted to introduce myself to the wonderful readers on BlueHampshire. Previously the Obama state pages were active during the primaries and most people read the blog on the main site. Now the content on NH.BarackObama.com is continuously active and updated. Please visit it often as I'm looking forward to your comments and ideas as we hit roll on through this historical campaign season.

The main role of the New Hampshire for Obama site is to be both a resource and action network for people who want more information on the campaign, what's going on across the state, and how to get involved.

Some events and highlights coming up include:

1. Across the state there are Organizational Meetings tonight, Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Some of them are highlighted on http://nh.barackobama.com but you can also find more by clicking "More Events >>" on that right sidebar on the main New Hampshire state page.

2. Did you hear there's some huge event happening in Denver, Colorado next week? Crazy. But since only the lucky people get to go, we're going to do it up big in the Granite State too. Go to http://my.barackobama.com/conv... to find a Convention Watch Party near you. Senator Obama's speech Thursday, August 28th is going to be amazing!

3. Are you curious about who the VP is going to be? Me too. Everyone keeps asking me, but I don't know. But I do know that you can Be the First to Know by texting VP to OBAMA (62262) - standard rates apply - or by signing up at http://my.barackobama.com/first. The announcement could happen any day now! DON'T WAIT!

4. If you or anyone have questions about how to register to vote - we've created the New Hampshire Election Headquarters at http://my.barackobam.com/NHEle... You can find election information there and even download an Absentee Ballot application from the Secretary of State's website if you know you're going to be out of town on November 4th.

There's so much more on the New Hampshire for Obama website but that should be a good start for you. We also keep the state Blog up-to-date and relevant, so please come and comment and let me know what you think.

Enjoy and I look forward to reading all of your posts on Blue Hampshire too.

Kind regards,

P.S. I'm so happy that one of New Hampshire's own Ed Prouty from Atkinson was the historical 2,000,000 donor to our campaign. Thank you!
