It's not all that complicated, folks.
John McCain wants to change DC, Barack Obama wants to change America.
One candidate believes in and cares about this country, one doesn't.
It's your vote. Make it count.

Letter to the Hunger Strikers

Dear Friends,

I was very impressed with your hunger strike protest in front of the White House on July 3. I was especially stirred to learn that a number of you have pledged to take the protest all the way and make the ultimate sacrifice if necessary. I was indeed deeply moved when reading that

some, like Diane Wilson, co-founder of the Code Pink: Women for Peace and organizer of the hunger strike, are giving up food entirely until the troops come home.

But no reporter could have expressed your resolution more eloquently or powerfully than Ms. Wilson herself when she said:

“We have to put our own lives on the line, and I’m willing to do that.”

While all this is very inspiring, I must confess that I am somewhat skeptical of such gestures coming from your side, since in the past you have shown a proclivity to engage in what can only be called cheap publicity ploys.
