Dear Senator McCain,
I am a writing this letter as a cry for help. I beg of you to stop your campaign from continuing to barrel down this negative trail with the serious and frankly dangerous accusations towards Senator Obama. I understand that you are trying to win this race, but what you are doing in the process is rallying and strengthening radicals that thrive on fear and hatred.
In your relentless quest for the White House you are dividing the country and instilling fear. Implying Obama is a man of mystery, questioning funding, relationships, and portraying him as an outsider.
With eyes blurred and nothing in focus but a chair in the oval office this may seem like a good strategy, it is not. You are opening Pandora’s box, ultimately leading to an act of violence on Senator Obama by radicals. This would be a huge tragedy for all of America and would be a giant step backwards.
While attempts at un-Americanizing Kerry, and Clinton in the previous elections were out right wrong, there is a fundamental difference, they are white, he is not. Unfortunately, the repercussions of portraying a black man to be un-American by questioning his patriotism in an unstable America is down right dangerous, and may lead to a violent end, which he does not deserve.
I have watched you speak in a documentary and I respected you as a person, although now that is coming into question.
If you truly are the maverick, you portray yourself to be. Please ignore the right wing push to “un-Americanize” Obama. He has worked very hard, and has many achievements that in it self is the embodiment of the American dream. Proving that you can come from obscurity, work hard and rise to the top. That is what all people hope for when they first set their eyes on the statue of liberty or are welcomed by the proud colors of our great flag. Both are symbols of hope, and freedom.
The smear tactics lately are an attack out right attack on both. Trying to win an election by using fear and hate is un-American in itself.
Please take a moment to realize this, also try to remember some of the terrible acts that have been committed throughout US history due to intolerance, fear and ignorance. Racial violence and assassinations being just a few of them. Please do not provoke a resurgence of intolerance, ignorance and hated.
Thank you for your time Senator,
Vincent Franco

Well after putting some serious thought into the layout of this site… I have decided to give it a total overhaul! Seeing as how I never fully finished this design I feel that this is a very needed step. So if anyone wants this wordpress theme feel free ask and I will provide!
