Super Tuesday and Beyond - Obama in '08
Friends and family,
While many of you are well aware that I have been an ardent supporter of Barack Obama over the last year, I feel an important need to reach out to you today and ask for your support in getting Obama the Democratic nomination. While I have been very interested and involved with politics before, it had usually been with a cynical approach. My 2004 vote for John Kerry wasn't in support of Kerry and his policies, but was a voice of frustration against the policies of George W. Bush (especially concerning Iraq). Things are different this year as I have found a candidate that I not only support, but am enthusiastically excited to help reach the White House. That person is Barack Obama.
I am not alone. Over the last year of campaigning, there has been a growing support of Obama as many across the spectrums of age, race, gender, class, and party have found a candidate that not only seeks out the policies and change in politics that are desperately needed in this country, but also has the ability to motivate and inspire the American people as no president has since the late John F. Kennedy. And unlike many of today's politicians, Obama is a man of integrity whose ideals have not changed with the polls of public opinion but are a part of who he is. Not only was he against the war in Iraq from the beginning, his ideals for social and political change have been a part of him from the beginning. A year ago I read both of his books /Dreams of My Father/ and /The Audacity of Hope /(he wrote the former before he was involved in politics). In both of these, you can see the ideals and politics he will accomplish for our nation - from his early service as a community organizer to his abilities and ideals to bridge the divides of faith, race, politics, class, and gender in finding common ground and pushing America forward.
So in the primaries and caucuses of tomorrow's 'Super Tuesday' and in states following, I urge you to join in the effort in making a positive change and progress for the United States by placing your vote for Barack Obama. In many states, the democratic primaries are open or semi-open allowing those who are not registered as democrats to still participate in this important election.
Thanks,
-Loyd
