Dear Morton,
>
>
> Contact Barack Obama and urge him to run for President!
>
> As you may already know, I'm a huge Barack Obama fan. I've known  
> Barack since he was first elected to the Illinois State Senate in  
> 1996, and I'm impressed by what he has accomplished in his  
> relatively short political career. I'm also proud to call him my  
> friend.
>
> Not only does Senator Obama do a wonderful job representing the  
> people of Illinois, in just a few short years he has proven himself  
> to be an incredibly inspirational national leader. From his  
> memorable and unifying speech at the Democratic National Convention  
> to his new book The Audacity of Hope, Barack has shown that he has  
> the best interests of all Americans at heart.
>
> That is why I want to see Barack run for President in 2008. I  
> believe that he is the right man to lead our country at a time of  
> such turmoil around the globe, and will bring Americans together at  
> a time in our nation's history when we need unity more than ever.
>
> Barack has said publicly that he is considering a run, and part of  
> his consideration will doubtlessly include measuring the level of  
> his support from Democrats across the country.  So let's show him  
> how strong that support is.
>
> Click here to sign my online petition to Senator Barack Obama --  
> urge him to enter the 2008 Presidential race today!
>
> In all my years in politics, I have only met one other person who  
> connects with people as well as Barack does: former President Bill  
> Clinton.  That says a lot about Barack's superior skills as a  
> politician and a leader.  I have complete confidence that Barack  
> will be able to unite Americans across our country in support of a  
> new agenda of hope.
>
> As his memorable speech at the 2004 convention proved, Barack  
> understands that our country isn't as simply divided between red  
> and blue as political commentators seem to believe. There isn't a  
> monolithic "red state voter" who is different in every way from her  
> blue state counterpart, but rather there are Americans in every  
> corner of our country who have their own hopes, dreams, and  
> communities -- and many more of these overlap than conflict.
>
> With a unifying leader like Barack Obama in the White House, I know  
> that we can overcome the deep divisions that cause such unnecessary  
> friction to arise between red and blue, both in Washington and in  
> our nation as a whole. That is why I hope you will join me in  
> urging Barack to run for President.
>
> Click here to send a message to Senator Barack Obama -- urge him to  
> enter the 2008 Presidential race today!
>
> I certainly hope Barack Obama becomes the Democratic nominee.  But  
> regardless of who Democrats ultimately nominate to be our candidate  
> for President in 2008, we definitely need Barack Obama's voice in  
> the process.
>
> Barack Obama has proven himself to be a strong leader for Illinois,  
> and I know that he would show that same leadership as President.   
> Over the coming weeks, I know that he will be thinking seriously  
> about throwing his hat into the ring, and I know that your show of  
> support will make a difference.
>
> Speak out with the thousands of other Americans who are urging  
> Senator Obama to run for President -- please sign my online  
> petition today!
>
> Sincerely,
>

> P.S.  When signing my petition, you can tell me whether or not I

> run for President.  I respect your privacy and will only pass your  
> email address along if you'd like me to.  Just let us know.  Thank
