Please Review my LTE (re: Tell McCain to get off MY lawn)

IT. IS. ON.

Upon reading my city's newspaper today, I was greeted with this gem:

To the editor:

Here in Wisconsin, the far-left group, MoveOn.org, is already running a TV election ad supporting Barack Obarna for president. In it, a man claiming to be a life-long Republican says he is going to vote for Obarna because he can bring Republicans and Democrats together.

I ask how? All you have to do is look at Obama's record. He has voted the far-left liberal partisan position every time. He has never worked with anyone across the aisle (Republicans). He has never sponsored any legislation with or without a Republican sponsor. This group, MoveOn.org, once sponsored an ad that created a firestorm, smearing an honored and respected general of the Army. Now they are trying to fool the American people again.

Only one candidate has a record of working with both parties for the betterment of the American people. He worked with a group of 14 Democrats and Republicans to preserve the time-honored filibuster in the U.S. Senate (Gang of 14).

He has sponsored legislation trying to bring the left and the right together (McCain-Kennedy and McCain-Feingold). He has voted for Supreme Court justices that were qualified (liberal Ruth Bader-Ginsburg), where Obama voted against Chief Justice John Roberts.

It's been a long election season, and it's only going to get longer. But we don't need distortions and lies. This TV ad is portraying Obama as something he is not.

John McCain is the real uniter. But you don't have to believe me. Their records in Congress speak for themselves.

McCain "Slams" Obama on Iran

Earlier this week while speaking before AIPAC, John McCain slammed Obama on his Iran policy.

[W]e hear talk of a meeting with the Iranian leadership offered up as if it were some sudden inspiration, a bold new idea that somehow nobody has ever thought of before [creepy smile, uncomfortable giggle].

Obama Campaign: Please Stay Home, No Need to Create Chaos

According to the Associated Press , supporters of Senator Clinton are mobilizing to rally outside of the Washington hotel where members of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee plan to meet to hash out how to punish Michigan and Florida for moving up their primary dates against DNC rules.  In addition to demonstrators from all parts of the country, several busloads of Clinton supporters are expected from Florida and Michigan.  However, although Senator Clinton's campaign is aware of the protest, they did not organize it.  Howard Wolfson said,
"I am aware that there are lots of people very passionate about this topic who are coming."

I'm a Poor, White Wisconsinite

I'd like to share with you, a little bit about me and my choice in this election.

For the first 13 years of my life, I was raised in Glenwood City, a small farming town here in Wisconsin.  Glenwood City's claim to fame is it's "57 Hills" and our school mascot was the aptly-named "Hilltopper"--whatever the heck one of those is.

On the edge of our town which boasts a population of approximately 1,100, stand two fiberglass Holstein cows.  In the spring, straw hats are placed on their heads by the local 4-H group.  These cows have the pleasure of being perched high above the St. Croix County Fairgrounds on Highway 128, where every July they have the opportunity to observe some of the finest our state has to offer in the way of crafts, garden grown vegetables, and meat and hobby animals.  The big shows, however, don't involve sheep and cattle.  Every year there is a rodeo, a tractor pull, and a demolition derby, all of which attract hundreds.

Taking the High Road

Suzanne Pharr is an organizer, political strategist, founder of the Women's Project in Arkansas, co-founder of Southerners on New Ground, and ardent feminist.

I am currently majoring in Human and Family Development Studies with a concentration on Women's Studies (I hope to become a Social Worker) and discovered Suzanne through a Women's Studies course I took a few semesters ago.  She has since become a woman I deeply admire.

Barack Obama's Link to "Big Diarrhea"

You may have heard recently that Barack Obama gladly accepts donations money from employees of oil companies "Big Oil" to fund his presidential campaign.

But what you may not know is, at this very moment the Obama campaign is lining its coffers with money from "Big Diarrhea."  You heard that right.
