New Update July 20, 2008

Your voices are being heard!!! I recieved this mail today from Ms. Kimberly Reed - Senior Advisor on Americans Abroad Obama for America:

Dear Mr Montgomery,

I have passed on your daughter's story to the advance team for their consideration. I do not have any control or even input into Senator Obama's schedule but at least the right people have the information. We have received MANY emails regarding your daughter but also regarding cancer patients, men and women wounded in the Iraq war, and other people with heartbreaking stories, all asking to see Senator Obama while he is in Berlin, so in the event that he is not able to meet you and Josie, please do not think for one second that this is because he does not care about your situation -- it's just that everywhere he goes, he receives many requests like this and fulfilling them would become a full-time job leaving no time for running for president.

In any event, I do hope that it works out for him to meet you and Josie, and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Best wishes,
Kim Reed

Kimberly Reed
Senior Advisor on Americans Abroad
Obama for America

Here now my response:

Dear Ms. Reed,

Thank you so much for your immediate attention to my mail; and please feel free to call me Reggie. I am very grateful for you having forwarded Josie's story on the the proper people for consideration. I can well imagine the enormous amount of requests the Senator must recieve on a daily basis, as well as the responsibilites, time constraints and, yes, concerns which may prevent such meetings from occuring. It is in light of this recognition that I have not let Josie know of the efforts taking place here on her behalf; as it would be too heart breaking for her should it not materialize, and quite honestly, be viewed by her as another rejection which she is not yet ready to put into context.

Thank you Kim (I hope you don't mind me calling you that) for your prayers and good wishes for Josie and my family in this endevour. We shall simply leave it all in Gods hands.

I also want to take this moment to thank you for all the work you are doing on behalf of Senator Obama and his campaign. I can imagine it is not without it's sacrifices. God Bless you and your family as well.

Sincerely,

Reggie Montgomery
Josie's Dad (smile)

Please continue to spread the word to friends, families, contacts, congregations and even organisations for Josie. Have them mail HQ TODAY!!! and request that Josie's story reach Barack. We only have 1 day left and we are so close now.

THE MAGIC IS WORKING EVERYBODY .... WE JUST NEED MORE OF IT!!!!

I can't thank you all enough!!! God Bless You!!! Remember Josie!!
