Wake up, America! It’s less than a month now until the presidential primary elections of 2008 begin, and this is where it gets really important what particular people do to get involved in the process where they live. This is the time when even national politics is local. It’s up to you to play a part, of support the continuing national obsession with apathy.
It’s time to pick a candidate, and support that candidate in your state. Voting in the primary is important, but it’s even better if you help your chosen candidate by promoting that candidate to your friends and neighbors before the election.
A yard sign is a great way to do that. But for which candidate?
Let me suggest Barack Obama. I don’t mean to slam the other Democratic presidential candidates too hard, but the fact is that many of them supported George W. Bush in starting the Iraq War.
Bill Richardson did.
Hillary Clinton did.
Chris Dodd did.
John Edwards did.
Joseph Biden did.
Barack Obama didn’t. Barack Obama opposed invading Iraq from the start. He’s not had to offer any apologies on this issue. He got it right from the start. Obama never caved in to the pro-war pressure from the Republicans.
If that matters to you, then consider putting this Barack Obama campaign lawn sign out in your yard, to encourage people in your state to vote Obama for the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2008.
