A moment please

I usually post pictures on my blog, but today I feel the need to post a message. Most all of you know I support Barack Obama for President of the United States. I wanted to find out, like most everyone in America, a little bit about John McCain's new running mate. So I watched the Republican convention when she spoke. I have to say, she is an impressive speaker... that said, I want to just clear up a few things that people who don't know about Barack Obama may not know. If you would like to go to the following link, at the Library of Congress, you can enter his name and find all of the Bills he has sponsored. Yes, he has sponsored many. Many on his own and many with others. http://thomas.loc.gov/
My other comment is about being a community organizer. Some of you know I do volunteer work with the homeless, I have worked with so many great people in the community who do wonderful work who bring attention to politicians of causes that otherwise would not have been recognized. Millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That's called community organizing! I am sorry, but Ms. Palin's comment about the unimportance of Barack Obama's community organizing work was not just a slam at people I have worked with, but it lacked character.
I am sure Sarah Palin is a fine woman, but I can tell you what I know for a fact, I know that Barack Obama is a fine man. A man with character and integrity who is fit to lead this country. I work with men who know him personally, and that they have assured me that my feelings that I have in my heart about him are in fact good honest feelings of the man they know.
I now retreat from my soap box.
