At this defining moment in our history, Americans are hungry for change. After years of failed policies and failed politics from Washington, this is our chance to reclaim the American dream. Barack Obama has proven to be a new kind of leader-one who can bring people together, be honest about the challenges we face, and move this nation forward. "Change We Can Believe In" outlines his vision for America.
In these pages you will find bold and specific ideas about how to fix our ailing economy and strengthen the middle class, make health care affordable for all, achieve energy independence, and keep America safe in a dangerous world. Change We Can Believe In" asks you not just to believe in Barack Obama's ability to bring change to Washington, it asks you to believe in yours.

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN, copyrighted by the group Obama for America, is published during the 2008 presidential campaign in support the candidacy of Barack Obama, whose campaign slogan provided the title. As Barack Obama says in his foreword, "the purpose of this book is to describe in detail what that change would look like." It includes specific proposals for reviving the economy and investing in our prosperity, for restoring America's leadership role in the world, and for embracing America's values. It includes the texts of seven speeches, beginning with his declaration of candidacy and ending with his historic speech in Germany in July, 2004.
