I ′ ve never taken this kind of risk before nor felt compelled to stand up and speak out before because there wasn ′ t anyone to stand up and speak up for . We need a president who can bring us all together . I know [ Barack Obama ] is the one . These are dangerous times , you can feel it . We need a leader who shows us how to hope again in America as a force for peace . I believe Barack Obama will bring statesmanship to the White House . He ′ s a man who knows who we are and knows who we can be .
