Obama for America

Grassroots Drive: Ignore the media

Barack, Michelle, Malia, Sasha

We've continuously watched Barack Obama get unfairly trashed by conservative media over the past several months, but this time it's gone too far.

 We can't stand by while Fox News is allowed to attack our Democratic candidate based on some fifteen second, completely out-of-context quotes made by his pastor, and friend of twenty years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright. We can't allow the media to continue to blatantly mislead the public into buying their false perception of events. We can't allow them to slime someone who has spent his life doing so much for others, who has lived and fought through the civil rights movement, and who has promoted open, honest discussion on race for his entire life.

We can own this discussion. We can own the rest of this election. We can show the media that once again their bias is shown and we're not investing anymore time or money in it - we're investing in something else. We can show that we realize that because of Wright's words, the discussion of race is making its way all over America again. We can recognize him as the catalyst for something good that's happening right now.

If you're with me please make a donation for Barack Obama's campaign in honor of Reverend Wright.
