Donations for Change

OK, I don't normally do this- full disclosure- this is a message asking you to help fund a political campaign.

However, I truly believe that we need a new direction in the United States and I believe Barack Obama is the candidate best suited to help us break the chains of the usual polemic, for these reasons:

1. I believe is time for a new generation to take over and clean up the messes left by Republicans and Democrats alike. I believe that this country has turned a corner. My generation has seen the mistakes made by the last four Presidents to hold office. Politicians from other generations have had their chance at leadership and they have failed, ethically and practically. We need a change.

2. I believe we have moved past the need for Manichean worldviews and a domestic policy based upon division into "interest groups." I tire of being told I should vote for a candidate because they look like me or sound like me. I shudder at being pigeon-holed as a "red" or "blue" American. We do not need a Caucasian candidate, nor a male candidate (or female, for that matter,) we need the BEST candidate.

3. I believe it is time for our next great American President. As a free-minded citizen, I do not require leadership, I am part of it. In order to reunite these United States, we need a candidate with charisma and chutzpah, who understands the internal workings of government but has enough credibility with those who feel "outside" the mainstream to reach a wider audience.

I believe that Barack Obama stands in upon a precipice few leaders in our nation's history have had the courage to brave. Men like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King have held the honor and unique responsibility of healing and uniting a wounded citizenry. Barack Obama holds qualities that I believe make him, like these men were for their
times, a leader for our times.

Please join me, if you agree, in supporting Barack by making a donation to my personal fundraising page:
