What is a more effective LTTE aimed at independents?
A letter listing all of Obama's executive experiences or the list of republican voters on the S 900? I have only one shot at this and I want a home run.

1. Talk about the future.
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 07:30 PM by FrenchieCat
Talk about America's role in the 21st century.

About how if McCain wins, nothing changes, and China will have us for dessert.
We need intelligence and Innovation in the White House in order to inspire a new day in America.
We need for our young people to have an education that will prepare them to compete.
We need a new economy of jobs that can't be outsourced.
We need a leader that will restore the world's confidence in the United States...
because terrorism will only be solved if the nations of the world cooperate with us.
We can't continue to defend the world, when they don't even respect us. We can't afford it,
and it is only breaking our treasury while making the defense industry rich.
We can't continue not to offer health care to our citizens,
yet offer bail outs and tax cuts to mega corporations whose only interest is in the bottomline,
and who don't care what job they ship where,
as long as that means that they will pay less in labor cost.

Electing Barack Obama, a man who against all odds succeeded in this country,
is how we will restore The United States and the dream for all who live in it,
and all who might live afar but who admire it.

A 72 year old man who chose the type of Vice President that clearly demonstrates that winning an election was what was most important to him; and that was not Country First. Voting for a country club type man who owns 9 houses, 13 cars, and 26 years parked in the senate deregulating everything he ever saw, just won't achieve what is needed in America right now.

Just as we were tested in our tolerance and greatness during the 1960 election in electing John F. Kennedy, so it is a parallel now in 2008. Ask those who voted for Richard Nixon in 1960 whether they understood that they had sat on the sideline of history when they didn't have to. What it took then, and what we need now are those independent and innovative thinkers who realize that gifts are never meant to be squandered. We have an opportunity today to turn the page to a new dawn, and turning away from it could be dire to the future of this country in just too many ways.

3. Please use and/or change it in anyway you want.....
if you think it will work.

It is an appeal to real independents who aren't into the status quo.
Lemme know if you figure out that it was effective!
