  I fear for my children's future

  What happens if Palin (God forbid) becomes President? Has there ever been a possible President so woefully unprepared to lead this country and to be a leader on the worldstage? Has there ever been a possible President whose worldview is so at odds with everything that has made this country a haven for those who have escaped from tyranny, social and economic injustice, has made us a beacon to the world and a source of hope? The Bush administration has done so much to try to destroy America, will Palin finish the job? Has there ever been a possible President whose foreign and domestic policies will be so shaped by her belief in the battle between good and evil that will end when Jesus comes to earth and destroys all evil-doers and saves "Christians"? Who has made it clear that her religious beliefs shape who she is and what she thinks she should do as a leader?

  Perhaps. But at this critical juncture in American history we simply can not take a chance that Palin could become President. The stakes are too high.

  I never thought I would ever say or even think this, ever. But if Palin became President maybe the only thing that could save us would be a military coup. "Seven Days in May" but instead of the coup aimed at protecting us from a threat from outside (the Soviets), aimed at protecting us from a threat from within and from the person who has sworn to protect us, to lead us and to uphold the Constitution. Implausible? I really hope so.

  That is why everyone who believes in the promise of America, who believes that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are the most important documents in the history of nations must get out there and elect Obama and Biden.

  The choice is clear: do we want to continue work toward getting closer to the ideals and values embodied in our founding documents? or, do we want to a government that will continue to lead us further and further from those ideals and values?

  Patriotic Americans for Obama/Biden: spread the word; Get Out the Vote; get out of your seats and into the streets.
