Clarksville For Obama, a grassroots group made up of volunteers working together in unity to aide in the efforts of ensuring that U.S. Senator Barack Obama is sworn in next January as the next President of the United States of America, recently launched its website.

This site has already received national and state attention and recognition for excellence from the Democratic Party communications leaders. David W. Shelton, who designed the site, wanted to make sure the community of Clarksville and its military uniqueness was showcased throughout the site so that Clarksville-area voters would feel more like a part of this campaign.

Each section of the website includes local-interest information and provides a master link to the Obama for America national website. Of special interest is a “Get the Facts” section to help clear up some of the smear emails, lies, and false reports about Senator Obama.

“This website is now the area’s leading information resource for Clarksville-related facts and tips for the Obama campaign,” Shelton said.

The site also features a promotional page that features common-sized banners for local voters to show their own support. It’s especially designed for members who have popular community website pages — a MySpace page, a blog, or a website of their own, they’ll be able to show their support as a “Clarksvillian for Obama” by inserting a banner with code that’s available on the site.

The site also allows visitors to sign up to receive email updates on local and national grass roots events, and encourages visitors to tell their friends about what Shelton says is “the new, premiere resource for Democrats in the Clarksville area.”
