This group is dedicated to discussions, planning, and brainstorming for the 'Bridges for Obama Project'.

The goal of this global effort is to compose a photo montage of Obama supporters in front of the world's major bridges.

Why bridges?? Bridges unite two sides, span chasms & gaps, and soar over troubled waters....they offer a road of hope past obstacles that may otherwise seem impossible to overcome.

The project has also taken hold in the USA.

Over 80 bridges have been photographed in 40 nations.

And we succeeded--Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. Thanks to everyone who took part!

Our plan now is to make a gift album of the photos as an inauguration present for Michelle and Barack Obama.

We're also re-editing the video to include bridges that came in after the original video.

There are now THREE videos based on the Obama bridge photos:
