On April 27, 2008, I called a voter named Makeesha. I asked her if she's supporting Senator Obama in the Indiana primary Presidential election? She stated " if you can answer a few questions about the Senator". I said "yes". Her 1st. question was " what religion is Obama apart of ?" Of course I said that he is a Christian. Her 2nd question was"did Obama change his name?" I said no, that he got his name from his father at birth. She was happy to here that because people had told her that Barck use to be a Muslim. She stated that shehad nothing against muslims but just wanted to know if he had changed his name. She had other comments as well, such as Obama's stance on abortion, the bitter comment and more. I answered the questons.
Makeesha stated that she would like to get more information about Barack to determine how she's going to vote. She also stated that she did not own a t.v, nor a computer, mainly beacause she can't afford it. I told her that I will send her some information regarding the issues Barack is on record for.
Makeesha, is thirty years old, have for kids and is not married. Talking with her today I felt the compassion she have in her heart for people , she is against abortion, she cares about people and have a great love in her heart for the unborn and kids. I felt her sprit of love from the words
During this entire presidential race, there has been many neagative statements made about Senator Obama. And many are playing on the fears of the american people. The opposition has been trying to make the people believe that Obama is a muslim, inferring that he is not a patriot, displaying a photo of him wearing african garb, linking him to Rev. Wright beliefs, using the Red Phone (3:am)ad against him, and more...
200 hundred years ago, Thomas Jefferson, our 3rd President stated: "When a presidential candidate plays on the fears and ignorance of the people to win their votes our democaracy is threatened ".
Let us embark on a massive campaign to inform the american people about the concerns of jefferson, over 200 years ago. This is exactly whats happening to Senator Obama. The opposition and its surrogates are using fear to keep the american people from voting for Barack. Our democaracy is being threatened. Lets get this message out.
