This is not a political statement, just an e-mail I received.
Then my Dtrs response to it when I forwarded it to her.

The article below was written by a 75 year old retiree who has seen a lot through the years. It is not long but it hits the nail on the head. Do yourself a favor, read it and sent it to your friends.
"I AM SCARED THIS COULD OR WILL HAPPEN !!!!!"
MY NAME IS DAN BROWN . NO, I AM NOT THE AUTHOR, DAN BROWN , WHOM I ADMIRE VERY MUCH. RATHER, I AM JUST A 75 YEAR OLD RETIREE WITH LOTS OF TIME ON MY HANDS WHO LOVES THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH ALL THAT'S WITHIN ME.
I AM NOT A PATRIOT. I HAVE NEVER SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THIS GREAT NATION, TO MY SORROW, BUT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT I HAVE NEVER MADE A BIG MARK IN THIS WORLD.
I HOLD DEARLY TO CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES. I NORMALLY VOTE REPUBLICAN. I AM A CHRISTIAN AND AM VERY PROUD OF IT. I AM NOT A COWARD BUT I AM PETRIFIED.
WE ARE FACING THE REAL POSSIBILITY THAT BARACK OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THIS NATION. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MAN EXCEPT THAT HE DOES HAVE GREAT CHARISMA. HE HAS NOT AT ANY TIME DURING THIS CAMPAIGN REVEALED WHAT HE STANDS FOR, WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, OTHER THAN HIMSELF, NOR WHAT HIS PLANS ARE TO EFFECT CHANGE WHICH HE TALKS ABOUT UNCEASINGLY.
I AM NOT AN INSIDER. I HAVE NO PROOF OF WHAT I BELIEVE, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WITH THE RESOURCES I DO HAVE MOST OF THE FOLLOWING COULD BE ESTABLISHED.
I BELIEVE THAT WHEN MICHELLE OBAMA MADE HER INFAMOUS STATEMENT ON TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY. SHE PROBABLY MADE THE MOST TRUTHFUL STATEMENT OF THE CAMPAIGN. SHE JUST FAILED TO NAME WHAT HER CO UNTRY IS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HER COUNTRY AS WELL AS THAT OF HER HUSBAND IS NOT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . HER PRIDE IN HER COUNTRY STEMS FROM HER BELIEF THAT THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OF TRANSFORMING THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO AN ISLAMIC NATION.
WE ALL WERE ASTOUNDED WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WHICH CAME INTO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN COFFERS EARLY IN THIS YEAR, JUST WHEN IT WAS NEEDED. I BELIEVE THE SOURCE IS NOT VERY MYSTERIOUS; I BELIEVE THIS MONEY WAS DISTRIBUTED IN AMOUNTS WHICH WOULD NOT RAISE A FLAG TO A GREAT MANY POOR PEOPLE, DISHWASHERS, TAXI DRIVERS, WAITERS, ETC., TO BE DONATED TO THE CAMPAIGN, BY MIDDLE-EASTERN FORCES WHICH ARE VERY ANONYMOUS.
WE HAVE EIGHT MONTHS IN WHICH WE MUST BRING SOME OF THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE CANNOT ALLOW BARACK OBAMA TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT NATION.
IF THIS ARTICLE CAN ACHIEVE THE ATTENTION THAT I HOPE THAT IT WILL, I WOULD EXPECT REPRISALS. WHAT GREATER SERVICE COULD I BE TO MY COUNTRY..
PLEASE HELP OUR COUNTRY!!!! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF BELIEF, SEX, OR RACE!!!!

Mom, did you actually read this? This is one of those scare tactics that they are using.
There ARE actually people out there that are paranoid about this kind of thing, but I bet the people who came up with this email are the same people that are TERRIFIED of actual change, they dont want to see a black president. *(They're probably the same kind of people that believe in that scientology crap)
Why dont you find Obama's speech from the other night on you tube, listen to it all the way thru, its about 20 min. You will hear about the change that he's talking about, its about changing the way we take care of ourselves, ie healthcare, college for ALL americans, etc. The change he's talking about is so beyond what any of these other politicians can even fathom that is scares the crap out of THEM ... and thats why this email is out there.
Ma, I BELIEVE in this guy (Obama) listen to the speech, it makes me feel like I imagine the people listening to Roosevelt felt when during the depression he said "You have nothing to fear but fear itself"....
and regardless who's elected there's NO WAY our country will EVER be turned into anything like an Islamic state. NO RELIGION will ever take over,as there are laws in place to prevent just that*The Amendments, Bill of Rights, etc) and believe me, if it came down to it, the American people would force people out of office *(President, Congress, whatever) before it even came close to being destroyed. and besides, ONE MAN even the President can't do anything like that on his own, there's Congress and the House, and there's US .... Citizens.
They did the same thing to Kennedy for being Catholic *(Dont you remember?? I mean, YOU were there!! haha)
and you know for a fact that those crazy militia people in the middle of no where would come out of the woodwork fighting!! haha.
Love you, and don't send me this paranoid crap : )
