I’m usually hesitant to give political endorsements, because I’m of the opinion that politicians are too often liars, frauds, and generally immoral people.  However, there comes a time when a certain calling motivates me to endorse.  Here is Barack Obama’s email to his supporter’s list, with a subject, “You made it happen:”

Alex –

This night could not have happened 40 years ago — or even 4 years ago.

And it could not have happened without you.

You believed, against the odds, that change was possible. I felt your passion here tonight, and I know it was shared by millions of Americans who are building this movement all across the country.

Tonight is your night. But tonight is just the beginning.

The general election is going to be faster and tougher than anything we’ve faced so far. And our opponents will do everything they can to tear us down.

I need your support more than ever.

Our party is united. Our purpose is clear. And our goal is in sight.

Thank you for everything you’ve done,

Barack

It’s pretty sappy, but it did what it was supposed to do.  I decided to donate $25 to Barack’s campaign.  I think it’s for a good cause, though maybe $25 would go further with a charity?
