A Call to Action
Dear Mr. Vice President,
Thank you for your lifetime of dedicated service to this country. Be it the Vietnam War, the House of Representatives, the US Senate, the Vice Presidency, or your current role as an advocate for righting the wrongs of mankind’s abuse of this planet, you have given your strength and intelligence to this country throughout the course of your adult life and as a young American I thank you for doing everything in your power to hand my generation as great a nation as possible.
I believe we have reached a pivotal point in this nation’s history. We have suffered through eight years of unprincipled, irresponsible leadership and a brand of toxic politics that I and many other young Americans find reprehensible. I’ve come to the conclusion that the forthcoming presidential election is too important to sit on the sidelines for.
I would like to take this opportunity to respectfully urge you to endorse Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. It is my feeling that Senator Obama will provide the kind of principled leadership we need to guide this nation through the rest of this decade and into the future. I for one am tired of living in 51/49 nation. I believe Senator Obama posses a unique ability to bring Americans of different walks of life together behind a common cause greater than themselves. It is my earnest belief that an Obama presidency will forever erase the stigma attached to the word “liberal,” ushering in a golden age for progressive ideals and principles. I plan on doing everything I can to make sure this man is elected President. It is my sincerest hope that you Sir will join me, and millions of other Americans of varying ages, ethnicities, and creeds in seeing to it that this opportunity to give this country the future it deserves is not squandered.
Respectfully,
Michael Fitzsimmons
