Obama 4 IMU Lives On!

May 1st has come and gone. President Obama made his visit to the University of Michigan to deliver the 2010 Spring Commencement Address.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, We’re Yours

So the campaign is reaching its halfway point, and things are rolling along. It’s kind of ironic that Obama’s Presidential Campaign Theme Song was Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered, and one of the campaign objectives (besides spreading our message of happiness and community service) is to encourage people to sign our Obama 4 IMU petition.
Yesterday [...]

As we traverse to the fourteenth day in our campaign to get President Obama in an IMU tee, it’s time to move focus from our Obama 4 IMU movement to talk about something near and dear to IMU’s hearts: service. If you remember a couple posts back, one of the reasons why Obama=IMU is due [...]

Reasons Why Obama=IMU

Reasons Why Obama=IMU

1. Community Service
You may be wondering: why should Obama even wear an IMU shirt? Well, despite the fact that he’s the President of the United States, and what better way to spread your message than having the Commander in Chief himself to endorse it, there are even more reasons why Obama should wear an IMU [...]
