NAPLES, Fla. - In a e-mail to supporters on Saturday, Michelle Obama used the words of a woman from Southwest Florida encouraging people to pitch-in for the Obama-Biden ticket.
Michelle Obama's e-mail quotes "Cheryl in Naples, FL." The quote reads, "It's fantastic to be able to do this important work on your own time and even in short bursts. It was so simple. I was amazed."
The e-mail also quoted a person from Missouri.
Both Florida and Missouri are battle ground states for Presidential race.
The RealClearPolitics polling average from September 27 to September 30th in Florida has Senator Obama ahead of Senator McCain 48.6% to 45.6%.
Senator McCain is polling ahead of Senator Obama in Missouri according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Incentives for companies which moved abroad in the past that are willing now to BRING BACK their businesses TO the USA. LET HIM SAY THAT OUT LOUD DURING THE LAST WEEK; THIS SHOULD BE THE "COUP DE GRACE." Sincerely, Rose-Michelle Novembre

THE BOMBSHELL TO USE FOR THE LAST WEEK !!!! Please communicate these ideas to Senator Obama:Remind him to assure to the American people that all factories that manufactures anything meaning airplanes, boats,weapons, hardware and software, ANYTHING for the Defense Department or the SECURITY of our country HAS to FABRICATE on American soil; WITH ONE STONE LET US KILL TWO BIRDS: SECURITY AND NEW JOBS, and, this is how we prevent DISASTERS, not by going to war under false pretenses.

Can't imagine why anyone would vote for McCain/Palin. They both seem like empty-headed, hateful people. The past eight years have been disasterous not only because of deregulation but also because in every department the fox has been appointed to guard the henhouse. The present Republicans want to kill government; the Democrats want to use it to help people have productive lives. Our country is a mess because greedy people are in charge.

I'm a Ft Myers woman. My husband and I will cast our vote for McCain. If all you Obama fans will sincerely look at Obamas' records and plans for all citizens, you would be scared. The media refuses to tell you. If you want change, Obama will do that for you, but it will only be change in your pocket.

I can not believe the comments here. We have a small business in Florida and there has been a complete halt in business. I can not stomach either of the 2 political unions (GOP or DEM) When will America wake up to the fact they both serve the same master and it is not the PEOPLE. Will electric bills of over $300 a month and Rent close to $1000 a month yet wages (if we were to go get jobs) are under 10.00 an hour. Who is kidding who? Soon there will be more people homeless than those w/ homes-

God Forbid and God help my grndkids if he is a winner. No more free society and lots of "we will take care of you". What happened to this country. I blame the Congress of this US of A. They think they are the messiah's and they stink. We should vote them out and get some good honest thinkers in there. No Lawyers.....

America should wake up. All we need to do is listen to the presidential candidates. It is not all about taxes or color. What about companies being pushed out of United states? What about families becoming homeless? I will vote for McCain!

It is very diffcult to vote this year. McCann for the same but he has experience and will work for us. Obama is radical and we are already a minority with Obama we will be extinct. Its a hard decission and I wish everyone the best. MCCann is my choice, Obama does not have experience and he is not for the people he is just telling you what you want to hear. How long was he actually senator before he started campaigning? just lot of hot air.

I am a Naples woman. My husband and myself will gladly and proudly go to the voting booth and vot for Obama! We have watched this race for the last month. There is no doubt in my mind that if we want financial stability in this country...Obama is the man! If we want respect from the other countries...and have ourselves elevated in the world again,again,Obama is our man!McCain/Palin, lack the dignity and the direction. They are more concerned with tearing Obama's image down!I want solutions!

This is for 7:41 AM Anonymous and Leocaja you two are ignorant for the comments that you made if you are not for him you still should keep your ignorant comments to yourself. I don't know what world you two have been living in because McCain beliefs are the same as Bush so if you think the world is going to get better if he becomes president you're so wrong.

Warren Buffet and Obama have taken enough from the working people of Florida. Obama is for the poor all right they can have a few crumbs after Warren takes the whole pie.

Obama cares about everybody. The Republicans are for the rich. Plain and simple. Vote for Obama. He will work to save our country from the disastrous 8 years of republican rule under the Bush administration. McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time. If you want more of the last 8 years, he's your guy. I think Obama will lead us to great change for everyone, not just the rich.

Where does the "communist and lefty" come into Obama's messages? Please don't be afraid to research Obama's words and deeds. I don't think you'll find any communist, lefty values. Who is a communist in 2008? Get some facts, Leocaja.

Obama will NOT get my vote, he relies on his wife to do legwork because he doesn't know how to.Elitists seldom know the plight of the common man, he has to guess at it. even when asked a simple question by a young girl,he rants about something totaly offbase.You people call for change by electing "Mr.Mocha" yet you can't even accept gays getting married. YOU blind,stupid people don't deserve the right to vote! regardless of who is elected,all of you have shown your ignorance. Mike Mayes,Ft Myers

I am that Naples woman and I was just interviewed by WINK news. I was thrilled to learn that Michelle Obama quoted my message to Obama HQ and am honored to be part of this campaign - the largest grass-roots organization in the history of Presidential politics. Senator Obama speaks always about Americans honoring and caring for each other, of personal responsiblity and casting aside bitterness and lies. I ask all of you to get and vote on facts, not smears like the comment above.
