An Open Letter...

to Senator Barack Obama's campaign office in California...

Many thanks for the reminder to register to vote. I'd completely forgotten with my recent move from Southern to Northern California in July.

Please let the Senator know that I'm heartened by his recent speeches, and willingness to share his vision for national unity, as well as speak on the issues that are meaningful to us all. This is a wounded country, and we need leaders with vision not just strategy.

It would be wonderful if Senator Obama could hook up with John Edwards--that would be an unbeatable combination. One can think of no time in our history when politicians need to leave their egos in the backseat, and let their concern for the course of our country be their driving force. It is in this spirit that those who wish to defeat the purveyors of war and injustice must work together, and on the same ticket, to ensure victory.
