I Am Voting For Barack Obama To Make America PURPLE

It was July 4, 2006 when I first called on the American electorate to Make America PURPLE.

The tide of change began rising that November when Democrats became the majority party in both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.

In February of 2007 Barack Obama went to the old state house in Springfield, Illinois to announce he was running for President of the United States.

Now, I am asking you to go to the polls on Tuesday and join me in voting for Barack Obama.

Why am I casting my vote to make Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States?

Barack Obama is best equipped to bring much needed change to America and to resolve a myriad of problems brought by George W. Bush with the support of John McCain.

Barack Obama is the one most capable of bringing the generational change necessary to move beyond the past represented by John McCain and offer hope for a bright future.

Change and hope have been the consistent theme of the Obama campaign.

Barack Obama has shared a vision of what America can be, offered a comprehensive plan to deliver a higher quality of life and demonstrated that he possesses the leadership ability necessary to get the job done.

Choosing Joe Biden to join him on the ticket reflects Obama's good judgment. He has attracted support from the best and brightest people in America ranging from Warren Buffet to Colin Powell.

Reaching across the aisle is something both Obama and Biden have demonstrated the ability to do successfully. That will be more necessary than ever to resolve problems both at home and abroad.

The Obama/Biden team is best suited to foster a relationship of trust with our allies and return America to a position of being both respected and admired around the globe.

America will be more secure with Obama at the helm.

The misguided and poorly managed occupation of Iraq will end. The true War on Terror in Afghanistan, which has been largely ignored to focus on George W. Bush's war in Iraq, will get much needed attention and we will be victorious where it counts most.

Talk of Barack Obama raising taxes is, in fact, the righting of a wrong done by George W. Bush. Again, with the support of John McCain. The wealthiest one percent of Americans were given huge tax breaks by Bush while the middle class took a good screwing.

Giving the middle class more opportunity, making it possible once again to achieve the America dream will be a top priority for the Obama Administration.

It is Barack Obama who has the best plan and is most capable of revitalizing the economy and fostering prosperity in America.

When the American economy was threatened by the near collapse of the banking industry, and in turn Wall Street, it was Barack Obama who exhibited leadership while John McCain was both unsteady and erratic.

The emphasis of John McCain's campaign has been to focus on attacking Barack Obama. His choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate reflected both bad judgment and that he, as George W. Bush did, would pander to the Republican base in order to get elected.

Conservatism, religious fanaticism and partisanship are not what is needed in the White House at a time when the United States of America is at one of the most critical points in it's history.

Vote on Tuesday for Barack Obama. He is right person at the right time, just as John F. Kennedy was almost 50 years ago. The future is in your hands and it's important you do the right thing.
