i'll ask again, please give serious thought to voting for obama

these folks in missouri, ohio, nevada, battleground states like georgia, have all come around, listen to their own words about why. a filmmaker captured their honest thoughts and no campaign paid for it. http://truthandhope.org/localvoices/. it rings true for me, and i'm sure it will you too, if ya listen.

it's not too late to meet me in the middle, and know hope!

this is for my family, i've sent them my thoughts relentlessly and i'm sure they are tired of hearing it b/c they are all, it seems, firmly on the other side from me in choosing a president. but as people everywhere on every side are starting to see and do, its okay to meet in the middle. leave behind the blind political preferences and actually consider the candidate's character and policies they endorse on the ballot. its common sense. recognize that we are part of a change in history that is happening right this second and you can jump in too. there's room for everyone.

the 3 thoughts below that i shared this week on why obama is the right choice for america were actually from conservative and registered republicans, read their own words about why they are voting for obama. adrianne wrote at length on facebook "Republican Faithful on Why Obama v McCain" as to why she will vote for obama. note adrianne is:

colin powell, former sec. of state, national security advisor and a serious man we all respect, shares his views on why his party just isn't suited to lead america right now and he will vote for the man who is, Obama. Powell Endorses Obama. and note, he is:

100,000 folks in st. louis just showed up for the largest obama campaign gathering ever. i think they are on to something, i know they are. so yeah, meet me in the middle and we'll do it together. and note joe the plumber has recanted, he now realizes his new business will be better off with obama's tax plan.
