Support Obama, and stop spreading fear!


I've come to the conclusion that the intelligent voting folks of America vote for several different reasons. I've only named a good 4 of these as Joaquin is lightly sleeping next to me and the laptop. I've probably only have 2.5 seconds before I jump back into my lovely nursemaid duties. :)






1. We vote according to our political party.



2. We vote for whoever/whomever our folks tell us to vote for. :)



3. We vote for the person that we truly believe is right for the Presidency based on studying the individual's campaign issues that he/she tackles as their objectives, and



4. We vote for the President, and in some recent cases...the Vice President that is less scary.






Yes, I am an OBAMA/BIDEN supporter. I use to work in a state government agency that left me displeased with how funds were distributed among the low-income families. Why you ask? The answer...it was obvious that 9 times out of 10, families that needed the assistance were never eligible to receive the assistance based on the rules that were in place...at that time. However, sometimes this wasn't the case...can't make everyone happy, right? Most importantly, although I disagreed with the implementation of the program sometimes. I agree with the overall purpose of the programs for individuals who may have needed it.






I honestly feel like the OBAMA ticket is the change WE need. I've tried to keep an open mind throughout the last year and a half regarding this next significant election, but I'm getting frustrated by the numerous silly emails and talk spreading regarding Obama (he's not an American, he doesn't wear a flag pin, he won't recite the "Pledge," he is anti-WASP, he is anti-Christian....blah,blah,blah,blah)! Perhaps, before we forward that next email that insists that Obama is the ANTI-WHATEVER, you/me/us need to actually look into the source, http://www.fightthesmears.com/. That goes both ways...with both campaigns. The history of each candidate speaks for itself, just research it for yourself, and stop letting nonsensical forwards tell you who you should vote for or not vote for. SERIOUSLY!
