Most of you know that I was an early supporter of Barack Obama, signing up to serve under his leadership in June 2007. Having participated with Governor Deval Patrick’s campaign in 2006, once again as an early adapter, I had a gut instinct that Obama, like Patrick, could fool the experts, build a guerilla operation and deliver a stunning victory to the electorate. I had witnessed it in Massachusetts and knew that it could be replicated during the presidential race. Knowing that Patrick and Obama were good friends and, had similar political philosophies and would always emulate a servant leadership mentality was enough for me to sign up again to help deliver the vote.
Obama was a longshot. So was Governor Patrick’s campaign. During the 2006 gubernatorial campaign, Republican opponent Lt. Gov. Kerrie Healey launched one of the most negative and vicious campaigns in the state’s history. It was ugly and the people of Massachusetts responded by sending Healey home packing.
Like our state campaign, this presidential race is ugly, nasty and negative. The sky IS falling, Wall Street IS in serious trouble, the economy IS in trouble, and John McCain and Sarah Palin ignore the obvious and pounce on Obama for his alliance with William Ayers, a reformed 60s rebel, whose violent actions occurred when Obama was 8 years old. This week the clueless Sarah Palin with great delight called Obama a socialist.
What a STUPID campaign the Republicans have run.
Now those Republicans of reason are bailing ship. General Colin Powell. Susan Eisenhower, Chris Buckley (whose father the late William F. Buckley started the National Review). And now former Massachusetts Governor William Weld.
All have endorsed Senator Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, the Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates for President of the USA.
They see what I saw in June 2007. THE man who can SAVE this country.
As bad as things are with the economy, it is electrifying to know that SO many Americans are closely following this race. What a blessings for the masses to finally taking a stand in the political arena.
The world is also watching very very closely. My Kenyan friends who are part of the listserv I belong to are calling the action shots as fast as we are. The young adults from Ireland who I trained three weeks ago don’t understand why we would even consider electing Senator McCain. And Sarah Palin becomes more of an embarrassment each day. I can see Russia comments yesterday. A $150,000 wardrobe today. What is next?
The WORLD is waiting for President Barack Obama.
In less than two weeks, every American citizen who is eligible to vote will get an opportunity to become the civic activist of the day. Early voting, absentee ballots, and pulling the lever on November 4th are the BEST ways that you can help the country.
My choice to save our country is Barack Obama. You may choose a difference candidate, and that, my friend is your RIGHT. Whoever you choose…DO NOT STAY HOME. VOTE.
VOTE like your life depends on it.
VOTE for your children and grandchildren.
I am voting for Senator Barack Obama and I pray that he will become our next President.
I respect those who will not pull the lever for Obama and will congratulate those who just go out and vote.
I will have little respect for those who will not vote, making endless excuses why their vote won’t matter.
I pray you will go to the polls and vote for the candidate who will help save this country.
VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4th.
