If you think all Missouri Rednecks are Republican, take a look st Rednecks4Obama!
Rednecks for Obama has been around since early 2007! There is an official Rednecks for Obama section in www.barackobama.com, and there are a couple of great websites! (www.rednecksforobama.com) But, Tony Viessman, 74, retired Missouri State Highway Patrol Lieutenant hadn't seen these. He just knew why he, a self-proclaimed "half-redneck", strongly supported Barack Obama. He knew the same old politics of the republican party trying to claim any democrat candidate would "take away your guns". And, he knew the significance of the redneck vote in Missouri. And, he knew how badly this country needs Barack Obama as president. He took action!
After the announcement of a town hall meeting with Barack Obama in Rolla Missouri, Tony Viessman had a "Rednecks for Obama" banner made at the local sign shop, found a friend, Les Spencer, 60, to hold an end, and headed for the auditorium. With "Rednecks for Obama" bumper stickers in hand, they greeted hundreds as they entered the auditorium. Further excited by Obama's answers to difficult questions in that hot auditorium, Tony and Les headed to Union Missouri, Obama's next stop. As they held the banner outside the auditorium, the motorcade came to a complete stop. Barack Obama stepped off the bus and ran over to thank Tony and Les, and to hear their story.
And 2 days ago the Votemaster at Electoral-Vote.com switched Missouri from Barely Republican to Barely Democratic.
Keep it up, guys!
