It seems I wasn't optimistic enough when I set my fundraising goal for Obama, because I exceeded it. So I decided to go for double.
Thanks to those who have given, and for those who haven't, or who want to give again... it's in the left hand column, or you can visit my fundraising page here.
Why should you give? Well, there are two reasons. One is the speech in the video clip I've embedded at the end of this post. If you haven't heard it, listen to it.
The other? He wrote it himself.
While most political speeches put me to sleep faster than you can blink, I could listen to Obama all day long. I have played this speech over many times and it never ceases to inspire me and fill me with optimism for the future. I feel so much optimism that I can't fathom the crush of disappointment I would feel if he should lose. I can't wrap my brain around it. It can't happen. We must elect this man who inspires so much vision for the future. Our children and grandchildren are depending on us. GS
