A pledge to fight for the family

As probably a lot of you know, Brent and I supported Obama in the elections. I did so, though, with a lot of concerns...specifically concerning moral issues. I won't go into the why's about this whole thing, but it was a difficult disicion for me to say the least.

I am writing this to encourage you to do what I have done. I have expressed my concerns to Obama through e-mail about my belief in the importance and preservation of family. I wrote about how important marriage is to our nation and expressed to him my beliefs about gay marriage and abortion and why I believe the way I do. I would encourage you to do the same. Here is contact information...

I told myself that I would only vote for Obama if I worked hard to make sure that my voice was heard concerning issues of family and morals. I would encourage anyone else who reads this to do so also..as well as any local and state leaders that have been elected.

I have no response to that.(Quote from "Joe Vs. the Volcano) Take that for whatever it's worth :)

Cathy, I'm afraid Brent and I are mutts:) If we put up signs in our yard, we'd have both red and blue:) Personally, I'm waiting for Tom to get old enough to run for president:)

Though I didn't vote for Mr. Obama I too, have composed a letter to him with my concerns regarding what I consider our biggest problems. I hope he rises to the occasion.
