Thanks, Mr. Fielding, for your efforts, your success, and your example. I'm a white, 55 year old Texas Democrat, and I can't wait to vote for Senator Obama. He is the only one who can transend the bitter politics of the last decade and create a vision that will allow America to move closer to our ideals. He moved me to hope when he appeared before 20,000 people at an Austin rally in the spring. He moved me to action when he asked for money to make his campaign possible. And now he has moved me to volunteer in his campaign.His experience as a community activist and state legislator show his sincerity. His skill at countering Billary's campaign mud shows he is tough enough. And being the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review shows how smart he is. But enough of that...you know I support the guy.
Within my circle of friends, mainly white and middle class, his African American heritage is a non-issue. He has shown the power of his character and we can trust this guy, and he can do the job like it's not been done Jack Kennedy.
