MESSAGE TO VOTERS - Fresh Talking Points for those who want them |
|
Talk about America's role in the 21st century.
Talk about how if McCain wins, nothing changes, and China will own us.
That 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 cannot 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.
A 72 year old man who chose the type of Vice President that McCain did 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.
Discuss the difference in how Americans will be motivated listening to an Obama SOTU address versus McCain...or a U.N. Address by Obama versus McCain.
Also to be included..... 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.
And Finally, Electing Barack Obama, a man who against all odds succeeded in this country, without any built in advantages is the quintecential American Story..... is how we will restore The United States to a leadership position and how we inspire the dream for all who live in it, and all who might live afar but who admire it.
Anything short of Obama being elected will result in the kind of negativity toward us that will be a continuation if not a worsening of what we have experienced over the last Eight Years. Doing the same thing over and over again will not bring about change.
