Dear Barack:

I am assuming from your e-mails to me that we’re on a first-name basis. I am proud to be among the thousands (millions?) who have contributed financially to your campaign and my increasing hope for America’s future is grounded in the fact that it is We the People who are funding your effort, not the special interests. It is for this reason that I find myself now asking you to have a little faith in us who are placing such great faith in you. We the People are not falling for the chicanery of your opponents and their manipulation of the commercial media. We the People do not require you to defend the relationships you have had with your former pastor and others. We the People do not expect you to lower yourself to politics as usual. Indeed, the reason that we support you is because you exemplify the hope that, yes, we can change a corrupt and immoral system in order “to move [this country] closer to perfection.” Forget about rebutting Clinton and McCain so that you may continue to expound upon the greater nation we are striving together to become, and do so in the confidence that We the People will see to it that you are elected our next president.
