I am a real American
Because I speak with my vote
Because I believe in making my own success
Because I believe in the power of our voices
Because I am proud of our freedoms
Because I am willing to accept the responsibility for those freedoms
Because I don’t care who you vote for, just as long as you vote
Because while my opinion may not match yours, I will die to ensure you have the right to express it
Because I am proud of what we accomplish when we are united

The perfect manifesto if I ever saw one . . .

I want the color of someone’s skin to become a non-issue.
I want Barack Obama to strip away the prejudices still lingering in the world.

Too true, I’m tired of conservatives trying to define what is or isn’t American.
October 23rd, 2008 at 6:19 am
I VOTED!!

Rock on, sister American
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:50 am
I say we invade Arizona
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:33 am

But … I DO care who people vote for. I can’t take 4 more years of the bullshit from the last 8 years!
October 23rd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
A-men to THAT sister.
October 23rd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Look at you….
October 23rd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
That was good…..I so wish everyone would actually use their right to vote. I’m sometimes shocked that people don’t actually get out there (esp women!)!

Believing is beautiful.

Congresswoman Michele Bachman said there needs to be a penetrating investigation into AntiAmericanism .. and then the GOP pulled her re-election campaign funding. heh heh heh.
October 23rd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
You are *real*, period.
xo
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:52 pm
That’s what it’s all about.

I never visit Jen’s site without getting teary-eyed. Ditto for you, woman.
Blogs make me need Kleenex.

Hey there, I’m right there with you. I got so pissed I started a web project to give a voice to those of us that believe that we are Americans, even if we disagree:

Check it out, and please contribute if you can.
Thanks,

At first I thought these were a list of the reasons why I like Flutter
I wish I could vote in the American elections too – I think the whole world should be allowed to since the outcomes will affect us all.
October 24th, 2008 at 8:11 am
wonderful
I’m loving this whole thread!
October 24th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Thank you. I love it.
(And I’m tired of pretending only some people are *real* Americans. Such crap.)
October 24th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Rock the vote, sister! Amen!
October 24th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
I love this. Just love it. I will vote, because I want the content of our character to be what we look for in our leaders.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Well said, Jen. This line of attack by the G.O.P. just reeks of shame and desperation. The responsibility that you speak of is one that is too often forgotten in lieu of rights.
October 28th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Hear, hear.
Well said.
I do hope everyone votes. it’s so important.
