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!!!!

I think someone who made such allegations would be required to present solid proof. Even if he is an old duffer.

*is pissed at ignorant people*

Wish peopple would pay attention instead of just listen to gossip or right wing tv. None of the things he says are true. How come, if it is so serious a problem, I seem to feel that I know quite a lot about what Barack stands for. Why are so many people like this?

Do us all a favor and delete this kind of idiotic drivel when it comes to your attention. I'd like to know what this 75 year old geezer knows that all of Washington and the US at large has missed out on. Come on? How obvious does a hoax have to be before (all) people can see it for what it is. This isn't even a well-thought out hate missive.

If “Dan Brown” is a real person, let me be the first to say he’s an old, idiotic fool. This letter reeks of all of the same crap that has been circulating about Obama, much of it originating in, repeated by or slyly insinuated by the Clinton camp. That “no one knows what he stands for,” and that he’s a Muslim, and that somehow he’s not a “real” (read: “white”) American.

Obama has been in public life for the last 20+ years. He’s been in the Illinois senate since 1996, a US Senator since 2004. He’s sponsored and co-sponsored many bills. He’s given speeches. He was president of Harvard Law review. He wrote two books about his life. For anyone to say after all of that they don’t know anything about him are being willfully ignorant.

This nativist BS has its roots in the far right wing. It’s a d**mned shame that Clinton dead-enders are still running around espousing this stuff. We expect the far right to be wacky; we expected a lot more from fellow “democrats.”
