Dear Friends,I hope this finds you well.
A question, a reflection, and an endorsement.
Why is our country divided?
Why has this division been growing?Can we not all agree that we are a country that supports its families, that protects its citizens and respects its neighbors?
A country that educates its children?
Are we not a country that can lead by example rather than by force?
Is ours a government of the people, by the people, for the people?I would like to think so.
But I believe that corporate greed and its involvement in policy making, along with political cronyism have made it nearly impossible for the people to govern.
So we fight amongst ourselves over the spin of political slogans and half truths.
And so we are divided.It is time for a change and that is why I support Barack Obama for President.
Respectfully,
Dave Matthews
Regardless of the value of such things, this is just really cool.
Still, the band was formed in C'ville. But I think the demographic that would actually care about this endorsement is likely already on Obama's side. I'm a Dave fan myself, and I know lots of others. Those who even care about politics are all for Obama already.
