We at RP like to think we know how to take a page from the President-elect.

It’s in his spirit of drive and determination we’re starting a site dedicated to bringing you how Barack Obama has changed lives, and how the fight for civil rights and social causes are shaped by the believers that stood up with him—and vowed to take back control of the country. His story was one that changed the nation —and now we want to hear how he’s changed you.

You may have noticed in your local paper a call to visit us and share that story. If you haven’t done it yet, we invite you to email your story to news@renegadepresident.com, or simply click on “full story” and leave a reply. Please make sure you include photos or video if you have it, and let us know if we can use your name. To those of you who have already shared, we appreciate the stories already coming in, and we’re working hard to get them ready to bring to you. 

This site is an experiment we can’t wait to see grow and thrive, but it certainly can’t happen without you. The nation is ready for change, and RP is going to bring it all your way...
