Barack and Joe,
Thanks for keeping it real. I have found no two greater candidates that would ever compare to the caliber and quality as the two of you have shown. Continue to stay focused and on course with what you believe. We the people will see you through. We are not worried about the tatics and lies that the Republican party has tried to convey. We know the truth.
We are not concerned about Sarah Palin and what she has to say because really she hasn't said anything that merits credit. Every time she opens her mouth a new lie comes forth and now the American people are really begining to see her for what she really is. It was sicking to see them use the video of 911 to try and exploit the many fallen Americans for political gain. It was personal for me because Sept 11 is my birthday. I hold this day sacred and I'm tired of the Republican party trying to use that theme as the political stronghold over the American people.
I took the time to use some of your online photos and made this just for you to see, so that it will remind you why we need you in the White House. I hope that you like it and everyday I look at it as a reminder as to why Obama & Biden is the right decision for America.
Thanks and Enjoy
Mark Dickey

After watching the first opening day of the Democratic Convention, It helped me to realized the importance of this election. I am fully convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that Barack Obama is the next President of these United States of America. After listening to the many speakers throughout the course of the event, it help me to understand why we really need change in this country. You see I lived the many pitfalls that all spoke about. Coming from a family of ten it was hard growing up. Seeing my mother get up before the crack of dawn to make sure that we had breakfast and then see herself off to work.
I remember her telling us that we can be anything that we want to be if we believe and put forth the effort to do so. I've had down falls and setbacks, but I learn to use those setbacks as a learning tool, which strenghten me to continue to be the best that I can be. Having my first marriage to end with bitterness and hatred my children were taken from me and never got to see until they became fully grown. How the mother vowed that I would never see them again and moved them 5,000 miles away.
Having a house forclosed on because I couldn't pay the note and child support at the same time. Still I continue to fight that battle and God gave me strenght through it all. I remember the day, just three years ago that a company I worked for called us into the breakroom and decided to close the plant because of union disagreements and I was out of work, not knowing how I was goning take care of my responsiblity as a man.
Still the excitement that the opening day brought forth help me to realize that I can't stop trying to be the best that I can. I love the fact that Sen. Ted Kenndy made his way to deliver an astounding speech which touch my heart. The Lion has roared and the country has heard him.
Still with grace as always Michelle did a double take and put the icing on the cake. I am very proud of this Democratic Party ad nothing and noone can change that. I hope that this sends a message no only to women but also to the men as well. Barack is a possitive role model and a great political figure. Finally we have torn down the beariers that have continued to hold us back. We can now say that we are ready to stand up and be men again and help to put this country back on the right track.
Thank you Barack Mark Dickey
