hey folks,

I’m for Obama and feel SO HELPLESS out here in Pennsylvania, where the primary is not till April 22nd! but you folks are in a state that votes on Super Tuesday. I’d be happy to make my own personal plea for Obama but found the attached to very much echo my sentiments and state the case quite eloquently. only thing I would state more forcefully is how much I distrust Clinton and how disingenuous I find her to be (not to say how machine-politics she is — she doesn’t change anything and we desperately need CHANGE). I know it’s dicey to talk politics and religion with friends (especially so in these parts, a true patchwork of Red and Blue) but I don’t think we have the luxury of being delicate right now -=- I fear for our planet and our ability to get along with the global community. while retirement in Nova Scotia appeals to me (really!), I’m not ready to be chased out of America yet.

I hope you’ll read this (it’s not very long at all) and consider a vote for Obama tomorrow. I’m sure the votes will be close tomorrow so every vote will count (listen up, those of you who hate to vote, and I know who you are .

I’ll be volunteering with the get-out-the-vote folks in Maryland on Feb 12th (next Tues) since I can drive there in under three hours, and will be doing the same in Ohio, about two hours away, on March 4th.

thanks for listening!

a big, heartfelt hug,
Elaine

oh, please feel free to forward this!
