Every one hundred years or so the Democratic Party holds their national convention in Denver. Welcome to the Mile High City everyone. Be safe. Do the work of the people.
To get you pumped up a bit here's a link to a new Obama music video, American Prayer.
Many across the U.S. are hoping for a move away from the ridiculousness of the past 7+ years. Republicans have proven at the federal and state level that they cannot govern well. Of course, they haven't wanted to govern well. Looting the U.S. Treasury was primary. They were good at that.
Two wars with no end in sight. Unbelievable growth in government. The financing of the whole charade by plunging future generations of Americans into debt. The assault on the environment. The lack of will in responding to climate change. No serious energy policy. Incompetent responses to natural disasters. Torture. Lawlessness. Corruption beyond anything the country has ever seen. We could go on an on.
Senator Obama, the country is depending on you to bring pragmatism and competency back to the oval office. Please follow through on your promise to govern for the middle class. The middle class drove the spectacular success the U.S. enjoyed for so many years.
We're asking the Democrats to set aside the sometimes nasty primary battle. You need to unify, get out the vote and do what you can to elect Barack Obama. Don't let those who are proud to be ignorant spread their lies about Obama, challenge the misinformation every time you hear or see it. Counter their attempts to impugn Senator Obama's character. Negative campaigns are easy to run and they work. Be on guard.
John McCain has shown his willingness to say anything to gain office. His policies are shallow. He is mistaken on most issues. His answer to any international crisis is saber-rattling. Do you want him as Commander-in-chief?
Is it the dawn of a new national politics? We'll let you know on November 5th.
