It’s Time to Stand Up and Be Counted!

John McCain and others have questioned the legality of the millions of dollars given to the Obama campaign and have been demanding a full disdisclosure. No law prevents Obama from releasing these names of small donors of $200 or less and there is no law that states he has too.

Many people are voting for Barak Obama that have never voted for a Democrat before and do not identify as such. If a “closeted Obama supporter” makes a donation I’m sure they want it to be kept a secret and not posted all over the internet. Then you have people like me. I am a small donor to the Obama campaign. I have periodically rolled change in order to get money orders to send to the fund raising. Two months ago my 9yr. old grandson handed me $5 from his saved allowance and said, “please grandma, give this to Obama.  I want to help too.”  And if it makes any difference, which it shouldn’t,  we are a young and an elderly WHITE American!

I know I speak for many others. I do not want my personal information made public, no way, no how! I do not want my name or info given to mailing lists for any reason, especially for those begging for contributions of any kind. I pick and choose carefully who and what I support. I also cherish my privacy, my personal security and my freedom.

Last week I rolled up enough change to fill my gas tank. I leave in an hour to begin transporting several senior citizens and others who can’t drive to the polls to cast their votes. I am a little person who believes in our democracy and our right to choose and vote as we wish. I am but one small person in an army of millions who have decided it is time to stand up and fight to help bring our country together as ONE America not a divided America. I am but one small American hoping and dreaming for a better future for our children.

Let’s show the world that we really believe in the democracy we preach. No matter who you want to be our next president, it’s your duty to get out and vote! No matter who you will be voting for, it’s your duty to protect the safety and rights of everyone else to vote!

Peace!

I’ve added a video of the ending of Obama’s last rally speech in Virginia last night. I hope it inspires everyone, no matter who you are for, to get out and vote!  In all fairness I wanted to post McCain’s also but was unable to.
