Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Dear Friends, Just hours ago, the final candidates for the next President of the United States became clear. They are Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, and the winner will decide whether the nightmare of the Bush foreign policy is reversed or continued for another 4 years. US citizens will choose their president, but global public opinion matters to them--they know that US respect in the world has plummeted under Bush, and they want a President who can deliver change. In the next few days, our uniquely global community has a real chance to influence the finalist candidates as they develop their campaign strategy. Click below to read and endorse our letter to the candidates. We'll publish it in US newspapers and deliver it personally to the Clinton, Obama and McCain campaigns--we need at least 100,000 people to sign it by Thursday--so please sign and forward this email to friends right away: http://www.avaaz.org/en/us_change_course/4.php The message of the letter is simple: we are all in this together. The world is ready to partner with the US, but we need to see a real change of course from the Bush years. The letter is based on a poll of the Avaaz community, which found that our top 3 requests for change in US policy are: Help the world stop global warming Respect universal human rights Use diplomacy to prevent war and resolve conflict There is a real chance that the candidates could adopt this simple agenda for change, but every day brings more risk that they will commit to another direction. Sign below and forward this email to all your friends and family: http://www.avaaz.org/en/us_change_course/4.php American power is declining in the world, but it still has enormous ability to do good or do harm. It will take decades to undo the global harm done by George Bush's disastrous Presidency. Let's help make sure America's next leader takes a different path. With Hope, Ricken, Iain, Pascal, Ben, Galit, Graziela and the whole Avaaz team. get on their mailing list yo Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myk JL 1,731 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 I'm not a fan of Democrats, but McCain has made the statement of wanting the war to continue for 100 years. Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
