PESKY REPLIED TO RHONDA BARNES Tuesday, April 08, 2008 7:33 PM: di·ver·si·ty–noun, plural -ties. 1. the state or fact of being diverse; difference; unlikeness. 2. variety; multiformity. It seems to me your message, in and of itself, is "questionable content". You advertise yourself as "Diversity": diversity of what? The fine points of difference between various Christian sects? Are these what you are claiming as "Senator Obama's standards"? I don't think you quite understand what Senator Obama's standards ARE. Please feel free to invite Barack Obama here to speak for himself if you feel that is the case. If I have misunderstood his message I would very much like to know about it now, before election day arrives. "Diversity"... last time I checked, I am an atheist and soldierette is a Christian. Last time I checked, we had the same goal in mind: get Senator Obama into the White House. I was under the impression you shared that goal. Perhaps I was wrong.----- Original Message ----- From: Rhonda Barnes To: Diversity4Obama Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 6:52 PMSubject: [DiversityforObama] Please use respectful conversation in our emailTo our Diversity Members As administrator of our group I have had many complaints about how some of our dialog has been in the past 4-5 weeks. I am specifically asking "peskyathiest" and "solierette" to be more respectful and keep up to Senator Obama's standards in this campaign. Remember that each of us have the right to report any "questionable" contant to the Obama campaign. At the same time, our country has "freedom of speech". Yet the purpose of this group is to bring diversity together, not tear us apart. Please let all of us respect each other. We are also not hear to tear down Hillary or any other candidate. Let's stick to the issues. Our goal is to help support Senator Obama.
