Dear Mr. Gore,

I am writing you as a 30 year old man who himself has always identified with the Republican Party, and at the same time feels moved, inspired, and that it’s his duty to do everything he can to make sure Barack Obama is the next President of the United States.

I feel that your endorsement of him will literally put this man over the top in his fight against Hillary Clinton, and eventually in his fight against the Republicans to become the President. You have achieved a level in your party and in this country of one of the most iconic figures in some time. Your non-partisan fight against Global Warming on Capital Hill should be the future blueprint on how politics is done in this country, as well as a humanitarian blueprint on how to bring social and economic awareness to one of the biggest dangers this world has ever seen.

I have never voted Democrat. Not even for you, sir. For that, I’m sorry, but you won NJ anyway, so in the long run, it doesn’t really matter. Barack has inspired me to change my affiliation. Going against my family, a lot of my friends, and the very Republican community I live in. It’s a small price to pay to do something I truly believe in.

So, in my first letter ever to a political figure, I’m asking you to endorse the Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama for President of the United States.
I hope this finds you well, sir.
Sincerely,

Michael DeSilver
