I have been called many things throughout this recent pursuit to inform the public about the upcoming election. However, I can commit to you that one thing that I am not is a knowing- liar that puts forth propaganda for the benefit of my candidate. I NEVER provide you with information that I know to be false. I can't say the same for McCain and Palin.

No matter which way that you vote, it is essential that you are making an informed decision. Would I like you to cast your vote for the candidate that I believe will bring about the change that this country so desperately needs? Of course. Yet, if someone were to vote for McCain based on legitimate knowledge of him and his record, then there is nothing more for me to say. Democracy provides us with the right to chose the person whom we feel would best represent us in government. What John McCain and Sarah Palin deny us of is an accurate and honest portrayal of their records for us to base our decisions on.

I am 100% behind Barack Obama. Although I have yet to vote outside of my party lines, I can say that as a candidate, political parties aside, he embodies all the qualities of a tremendous leader, capable of leading this country to greatness. Throughout my 28 years, I have always been proud of my country and our country's fundamental commitment to democracy. Unfortunately, I have lived through three Republican administrations that serve that tiny, 1% of our nation that controls the country's wealth, rather than commit to serving our people, ALL of our people. I believe in him. Just as I believe that he will be elected and that this country is destined to change, for all of our greater good.

As an Obama enthusiast, I found myself torn this week as I felt that the Obama camp had not been coming out to combat the vicious lies and attacks that the McPalin machine has been throwing out with the utmost of ease. However, I did not need to doubt for long:

Barack Obama, Joe Biden, you rock my world. You stand up to McPalin and expose them as the liars that they are! All I ask is that you please get informed before you cast your vote in November. It only benefits you in the long run.

This was an amazing message, please read and get informed!

Friends, compatriots, fellow-lamenters,


We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have
felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the
Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We
believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere
partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce on the part
of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidatethat has
a real possibility of becoming fact.

Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of
what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record
could lead to for ourselves and for our present or future
daughters. To date, she is against sex education, birth
control, the pro-choice platform, environmental protection,
alternative energy development, freedom of speech (as mayor
she wanted to ban books and attempted to fire the librarian
who stood against her), gun control, the separation of
church and state, and polar bears. To say nothing of her
complete lack of real preparation to become the
second-most-powerful person on the planet.

We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a
woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant
teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and all
together devastating choice for Vice President. Ms.
Palin's political views are in every way a slap in the
face to the accomplishments that our mothers and
grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for,
and that we've so demonstrably benefited from.

First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She
does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American
women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the
Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to
disagree, publicly.

Therefore, we invite you to reply here
with a short,
succinct message about why you, as a woman living in this
country, do not support this candidate as second-in-command
for our nation.?

Please include your name (last initial is fine), age, and
place of residence.

We will post your responses on a blog called "Women
Against Sarah Palin," which we intend to publicize as
widely as possible. Please send us your reply at your
earliest conveniencethe greater the volume of responses we
receive, the stronger our message will be.

Thank you for your time and action.

VIVA!

Sincerely,

Quinn Latimer and Lyra Kilston
New York,?NY

**PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY! If you send this to 20 women in
the next hour, you could be blessed with a country that
takes your concerns seriously. Stranger things have
happened.

Lord, I am beyond sick of watching Sarah Palin coverage. Just today, I got another article about her "questionable" spending as Governor of Alaska : http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/09/09/palin_billed_state_for_nights_she_spent_at_home/

However, this article, which pinpoints unjustified reimbursments that Palin is taking away from her own taxpayers is of course trumped by three articles about how teen moms relate to her etc.

First of all, everyone needs to wake up, and fast. Sarah Palin is NOT running for president. In all of this media blitz, many McCain doubters have been snowballed into voting for him because she is on his ticket. This election is about McCain and Obama.

Before the Palin craze, who was your candidate?

People are quickly forgetting that the role of the Vice President is fairly minimal in terms of impact they may have on legislative and executive matters. However, a very important thing to keep in mind is that IF the president were to pass away, the VP steps right in. Please ask yourself, would you want Sarah Palin for president? Many people either say "yes" or don't bother to take in the weight of that question.

The bottom line is this, you should care. Who do you want running this country? If it's McCain, then by all means, support your candidate. However, if you are one of the many that are living in a Sarah Palin fantasy, please wake up. This election is about politicians and their party's politics. By now, many of us are well aware of McCain, Obama and Biden's political record, do you know anything about Sarah Palin besides the fact that she's got a "cute" family and speaks with a down-home gusto that appeals to so many Americans? Get informed about Sarah Palin, and fast. Her politics speak volumes to her inexperience, dirty politics and her lack of qualifications for the job.

I am not just tired of hearing about Sarah Palin, I'm scared. Scared to death that so many Americans are falling for this horse-and-pony show. In all of this chatter, this country has lost its focus on the actual candidates. This is your country. If you're a registered voter, all of this media hooplah should bother you. No matter which way you chose to vote, this country is quickly forgetting what this election is really about, voting for our next President, not Vice President.

Bring this election back to the presidential candidates, and fast. I assure you, if you don't, you will be kicking yourself come Novemeber 5.
