On the eve of our election, I am compelled to write to all of you who I love and respect. You aren't uninformed or uneducated, you aren't someone looking for a handout that you didn’t earn and you aren’t a Hollywood elitest.  If what the fair and balanced media has been telling us is true, Obama is going to win the election tomorrow.  I’m reminded of a quote by Abraham Lincoln, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” 

If you are planning on voting for Barack, isn’t the future of our country worth taking the time to ask yourself a few questions? 

What about this man’s resume suggests that he has what it takes to lead this country? 

Barack’s career started with “community organizing” and being a lawyer in Chicago and writing books. He was an unremarkable part-time State Senator who voted "present" on dozens of tough issues. He ran unsuccessfully for Congress, gave a popular speech at the 2004 DNC, and won a US Senate seat after consecutive rival campaigns fell apart due to questionable scandal.

As a US Senator, Obama never challenged his own party's leadership, did not write a single consequential bill and showed up late for a striking number of committee meetings. Then, after 143 days of federal legislative service, Obama decided it was time to run for the presidency. His greatest career achievements have been the successful attainment of higher office.

Is giving more money to government and expanding or creating new government bureaucracies really the “change we need”? 

Here are just a few of those programs:  Universal Healthcare, Universal national service, Universal 401(k)s, Universal preschool, Global Poverty Act, Free college tuition

Thomas Jefferson once said "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have."

All indications are that Obama wants us to become a social market.  Capitalism is the reason that we are the greatest country on earth. Social markets are stagnant economies.

If Obama doesn’t take care of his own family, what makes you think he has your best interest at heart and will take care of you? 

As he said in his book, Obama says that family has to take care of family. He talks about how he loves his aunt and yet she has been living in the slums in Boston illegally and a half-brother who lives in a hut. Contrast this with the fact that Obama donated a million dollars (organized through private meetings planned during Odinga's trip to the United States in 2006) for political reasons to his cousin Raila Odinga shows who he really is.

Will we be safe electing Obama? 

Whatever you think about Bush, we haven’t had an incident since 9/11. Joe Biden promises us that it will not be 6 months before we are tested. The world knows how John McCain will react. Nobody knows how Barack will – including the media who have been helping him.

Obama supports giving illegal aliens America driver’s licenses.   Mohamed Atta, the 9/11 ring leader, had a valid Florida driver’s license. With Osama bin Laden still at large and al-Qaida promising attacks on the U.S homeland, is this a good idea?    

Can you trust our country to someone who attended church for 20 years at Trinity Church with Reverend Wright? 

Personally, I have changed churches after less than a year because I quickly realized that it was not a place that I felt comfortable. Barack handpicked that church according to his book.

How can Obama uphold his oath when he doesn’t believe in constitution? 

In an interview, he discusses how he finds the constitution to be an “imperfect document” because it does not address redistribution of wealth.

What makes you believe that Obama will keep any of the promises he has made?  

What about Obama’s promise for immediate troop withdrawals? In his discussions with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari during his visit to Iraq, he tried to delay troop withdrawal talks until after the election. This attempt to interfere with foreign policy negotiations is not only treasonous, but it would result in delay of troop withdrawals.

He also didn’t have any problem backing out of his promise to McCain in regards to public financing. 

Another promise is to cut taxes for Americans making less than $250,000 per year. This threshold continues to move. He’s already setting us up to break this promise.

He has flip-flopped on many issues.

How can you trust a man who has had so many questionable associations and mentors?

Associations DO matter, especially when they suggest a pattern and an underlying ideology. The media finally made concessions on his relationship with Bill Ayers because he was backed into a corner (see how CNN progresses in their coverage of this). How far back and how close that relationship was is still being uncovered, but Bill Ayers is the tip of the iceberg in Obama’s associates. 

Other than Ayers and Wright, here are some others who have had associations with Obama.

Doesn’t the associations of Acorn and the questionable and overseas donations into Obama’s campaign bother you?

Obama is charismatic, young and speaks eloquently of hope and change. He has run a great campaign and it seems like it is hip to vote for him. Jon Stewart, David Letterman and a lot of intelligent entertainers are behind him. Additionally, the majority of the media loves Obama so it seems mainstream to back him at this point. He speaks eloquently and tells us wonderful words of hope and change which are exactly what we are dying to hear. But his ideas are NOT mainstream and are not new. History is repeating itself and this man threatens to ruin the foundations that this country was built on.

Finally, if you vote for Obama, I do not agree with your political views, but I will always defend your right to have that opinion because the right to express your opinion is one of the building blocks of our country. I hope that you will do the same for me. I will fight for fairness in the election process, so that votes from citizens like you and I are not drowned out by fraud and people who come to this country in search of a free ride and I will fight to keep your money from going to these kinds of programs.
