Thought you might want to know...

(I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW THAT THIS DISTURBING LETTER IS BEING CIRCULATED ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE TELL SENATOR OBAMA THAT WE NEED HIM NOW, MORE THAN EVER. THIS COUNTRY MUST MOVE FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD AS THIS AUTHOR WOULD SUGGEST.)

The article below was written by a 75 year old retiree who has seen a
lot through the years. It is not long but it hits the nail on the head.
Do yourself a favor, read it and sent it to your friends.

Subject: I am Scared

'I AM SCARED THIS COULD OR WILL HAPPEN!!!!!'

MY NAME IS DAN BROWN. NO, I AM NOT THE AUTHOR, DAN BROWN, WHOM I ADMIRE
VERY MUCH. RATHER , I AM JUST A 75 YEAR OLD RETIREE WITH LOTS OF TIME
ON MY HANDS WHO LOVES THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH ALL THAT'S
WITHIN ME.

I AM NOT A PATRIOT. I HAVE NEVER SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THIS
GREAT NATION, TO MY SORROW, BUT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT I HAVE NEVER MADE A BIG MARK IN THIS WORLD.

I HOLD DEARLY TO CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES. I NORMALLY VOTE REPUBLICAN. I
AM A CHRISTIAN AND AM VERY PROUD OF IT. I AM NOT A COWARD BUT I AM
PETRIFIED.

WE ARE FACING THE REAL POSSIBILITY THAT BARACK OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT
PRE SIDENT OF THIS NATION. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MAN EXCEPT
THAT HE DOES HAVE GREAT CHARISMA. HE HAS NOT AT ANY TIME DURING THIS
CAMPAIGN REVEALED WHAT HE STANDS FOR, WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, OTHER THAN
HIMSELF, NOR WHAT HIS PLANS ARE TO EFFECT CHANGE WHICH HE TALKS ABOUT
UNCEASINGLY.

I AM NOT AN INSIDER. I HAVE NO PROOF OF WHAT I BELIEVE, BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT WITH THE RESOURCES I DO NOT HAVE THAT MOST OF THE FOLLOWING
COULD BE ESTABLISHED.

I BELIEVE THAT WHEN MICHELLE OBAMA MADE HER INFAMOUS STATEMENT ON
TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM PROUD OF MY
COUNTRY. SHE PROBABLY MADE THE MOST TRUTHFUL STATEMENT OF THE CAMPAIGN.
SHE JUST FAILED TO NAME WHAT HER COUNTRY IS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS OBVIOUS
THAT HER COUNTRY AS WELL AS THAT OF HER HUSBAND IS NOT THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA . HER PRIDE IN HER COUNTRY STEMS FROM HER BELIEF THAT
THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OF TRANSFORMING THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO
AN ISLAMIC NATION.

WE ALL WERE ASTOUNDED WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WHICH CAME INTO THE
OBAMA CAMPAI GN COFFERS EARLY IN THIS YEAR, JUST WHEN IT WAS NEEDED. I
BELIEVE THE SOURCE IS NOT VERY MYSTERIOUS; I BELIEVE THIS MONEY WAS
DISTRIBUTED IN AMOUNTS WHICH WOULD NOT RAISE A FLAG TO A GREAT MANY POOR
PEOPLE, DISHWASHERS, TAXI DRIVERS, WAITERS, ETC., TO BE DONATED TO THE
CAMPAIGN, BY MIDDLE-EASTERN FORCES WHICH ARE VERY ANONYMOUS.

WE HAVE EIGHT MONTHS IN WHICH WE MUST BRING SOME OF THIS TO THE
ATTENTION
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE CANNOT ALLOW BARACK OBAMA TO BE ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT NATION.

IF THIS ARTICLE CAN ACHIEVE THE ATTENTION THAT I HOPE THAT IT WILL, I
WOULD EXPECT REPRISALS. WHAT GREATER SERVICE COULD I BE TO MY COUNTRY..

PLEASE HELP OUR COUNTRY!!!! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF BELIEF,
SEX, OR RACE!!!!

The thing is peoeple will believe anything.
But a peron with even a quarter of a brain would ay thi is stupid.
Unless that person listen to Shawn hannity or Bill O'Reilly or any of thoe other conervatives.

Just think if Jefferson and Adams and Franklin were conservative(back then they called them Tories-backers of the King).

We have to defeat the fear-mongering, and bigotted people of America(not all of us but there are a bunch)

Somebody give Mr. Brown a hug.

I've got news for him. If he want to find a US politician who's buddy-buddy with rich Muslims, he need look no further than the Bush White House.

And he doesn't even have the quote from Michelle right.

And if he doesn't know what Obama stands for, it's because he doesn't read and only listens to Fox and Rush. Good grief, the man's written two books, and scads of deep position papers on everything under the sun, all readily available. You might not like them, but let's not claim they don't exist.

But there's something about this letter, and its nasty lies--Saudi money going to Obama's 1.3 million small donors in small amounts--that makes me wonder whether it was even written by a real person. Anyone with any amount of sense would know that you don't pay out $50 bills to a million people without huge numbers of them speaking up about it. No, this is 'Black Ops, Big Lie' stuff.

Racist fear-mongering BS. Same crap they keep repeating, just in a different version. Over and over again we will hear how no one knows anything about this man, who has written two books about his life, who is in public office, who has a web site with all of his policies outlines, and with a quick Google search you can find out every little thing about his life.

I'm of two minds - ignore this crap, and call people on their spreading BS. This time around I'm leaning more towards calling people on their s*&t. These fake emails are going to spread like wildfire, and we need to take away the matches before it gets worse.

This piece of propaganda hogwash probably was not even written by a 75 yo man. If it was it is very sad that in his long life he did not learn to look for evidence to back up his gut feelings. Instead he has gotten an idea and without any support taken it as a fact.

This is a further condemnation of the educational system in America. We have not impressed the importance of getting the facts upon our populace. That is why we continue to let men like Bush and Cheney lead the American people into voting against their own interests. Someone waves the red flag of bigotry and we cannot see that they are bleeding the country dry while they rack up oil profits.
