This is a wonderful Letter Written By Robyn Vandenberg from Florida: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/robynvandenberg
WE COULD E-Mail it to All the News Papers in Pennsylvania http://www.usnpl.com/panews.php
TO THE GOOD Citizens of Pennsylvania, I write to you because of my concern that you are being characterized as angry white voters who would never vote for an African American candidate . Your Governor, Ed Rendell, said and believes that and the Clinton Campaign is depending on it . Is that truly how Pennsylvania wants to remembered in this historic debate ? Let me start by saying that I am a white woman over thirty and middle class. I am supposed to be the demographic that is " angry " and will only vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman and also because she is white.
I haven't done so and I wont, ever. My support for Barack Obama is because I believe in his policies on health care , rolling back the Bush tax cuts and his strong stance against the war in Iraq. I am not a casual voter. I research each candidate and then make a distinction as to who better serves my country and my family. Another reason I chose Barack Obama is due to the fact that I have never been so inspired to get off my lazy butt and take my country back, as I am now. I would not be writing this letter to you if I did not feel so strongly about this campaign. There are millions more just like me and we are ready to take back Washington and make them work FOR us and not against us . To finally be heard and to hold our legislators accountable.
The Clinton Campaign is playing the good citizens of Pa. She is using fear and racism as her under bellied platform in order to get the white vote and win Pa. I find that wrong in so many ways I can not even grasp the concept. I am challenging you to rise above this . I am asking you to do your own research and then ask yourself , are we not better than what our Governor thinks of us ? Are we not better to fall for such a horrific political strategy ? Shouldn't we be unifying rather than dividing ? If you say yes to any of these questions , then your vote should be loud and clear and for no one other than Barack Obama.
The racial and religious smear tactics have got to stop and it is only through your votes and your willingness to step to the plate and denounce such tactics that this can be achieved. How can one lead a country if one is so willing to delve into the strategy of " gutter " politics ? I find myself wondering what century we live in and how can this be happening today ,in the year 2008 ?Its your turn Pennsylvania , prove your Governor wrong, the Clintons wrong and The Main Stream Media wrong !
Respectfully Yours ,
Robyn Vandenberg
