Make the Obama "I WILL NOT BE COWERED!" pledge. Obama does not do cowering and neither should we.
Someone suggest that we should be very careful on election day and night because as Obama wins the big, bad Republicans will be mad and will get us. That we should go out on the buddy system. I will not be stupid, but I WILL NOT BE COWERED!

I read of so much concern and fear that we will become complacent because, Oh My God!, Obama has a good lead, but I WILL NOT BE COWERED! Confidence is not complacency. I have read nowhere of anyone suggesting that we somehow relax and coast to the finish, but I am constantly reading warnings against it. We will be vigilant and diligent and finish this race strong and vote in such overwhelming numbers so as to give the Republicans a humiliation beating and giving Obama a strong and clear mandate to govern. We will overcome!

When the MSM actions and news are unjust toward Obama, or the Republicans are evil and nasty, I WILL NOT BE COWERED! Instead of whining about what the MSM is doing and hand wringing about things outside of our control, let's instead do something. Make calls for Obama, work to get out the vote, register people, talk to friends and neighbors about supporting Obama. Just think of the results if all of us just convinced one person to support Obama who otherwise would not have done so. Display those yard signs that some seem to belittle. They inspire the faithful and in great numbers they will demoralize the opposition. Your yard sign or bumper sticker is your personal stamp and seal of approval for Obama and you may never know if that small thing will nudge a voter Obama's way.

Too often Republicans tend to think of Democrats as being wimps who can be intimidated, but we need to stand up to the bullies. It's time to dispaly the courage take back this nation and show people that although Democrats believe in fairness and justice and compassion we are not fools and WE WILL NOT BE COWERED!

As Obama has said, he will not throw the first punch, but he will throw the last one. Let us throw that last punch that brings down the Republicans. Let's finish this race strong, never give up and never stop fighting until the fight is over. Have strength and confidence, diligence and vigilance and perseverance, but above all, NO COWERING!

Let's do it!

2. You mean, "I will not be cowed."
When you are cowed, you cower.
