Editors note: This email was sent to us from a friend. This letter really hits home and gets to the root of the issues with Barack Obama and what this country will face if he is elected tomorrow. God help us all if he is elected.
Hello everyone, this is my email that I will be using when I am inAfghanistan. I should be there before too long. I will probably be sending mostly bulk emails to all of you to say hi, because I may have limited internet usage for the year that I am there. I will send out another email when I am set up over there and let everyone know that I have arrived ok.
Now I am going to talk about something that most of you who know me well know that I do not voice my opinion very often on… “Politics.” I do not want to get into some long drawn out argument
with anyone over email and I am not trying to offend anyone. If your mind is already made up on what you are going to due on Tuesday I am not trying to change it but simply voice my opinion on some things that I think I know a little more about than the average person. Likenational security!! This email my sound like I am speaking to a few certain people that I know and that is because I am.Way to many people have memory loss on what happened on 9/11 and what it was like to be afraid to go to the store, open your mail, or even send your kids to school. Well I very firmly believe that you will soon remember what this feeling is like if Obama is elected. If you are already yelling at your computer on this statement settle down and read the rest of the email and then delete it LOL. I am not going to get into what I believe about Iraq and Afghanistan and if it is right or wrong, but if we follow Obama’s plan to withdrawal we will leave these countries with even deeper hate in
their eyes than they already have. Also if you do not think that some of the reasons why there have been no attacks on us is because we are destroying their terrorist camps then you are sadly mistaken. I know everyone is tired of paying for this war, but trust me when I say that
you should be happy to be paying for it on foreign soil and not our own. I am babbling on about this because I think too many people are looking out for themselves, their own wallet, and what they think is good for just themselves and the next year of their life and it pisses me off more than anything. People are not looking at the big picture.All too many of you disregard what this man said about soldiers air raiding villages in Afghanistan. He is running for the president of the United States and he says things like this. No wonder
he has the highest approval rating from foreign countries. The reason why this is so bad is that we are trying to win the hearts and minds of these people and have them believe in us so that they will help us stop these terrorist camps. If they get news that our on country’s president is saying that we are air raiding innocent people they will turn on us in a heartbeat and now we not only have no local support to help destroy the terrorist camps, but these people will also be trying
to kill us because they now believe that we are killing their families, because our own president told them so. If we pull out of these countries too early these people will see this as victory and
will then believe in their cause even more and unleash hell on us on our own soil. These people do not think the way we do.This man does not have the experience to make these decisions and I am not willing to put my life in his inexperienced hands to use me and this country as his own personal learning tool!!!!! He is not one of the most liberal senators, he is the most liberal senator. This man cut funding for troops while deployed as a senator. You may say that he was trying to stop the war , but that just goes to show how inexperienced he is on foreign policy. Let me explain. Less money for the war does not mean that the war will stop it just means that we will have less money to do the same job that we are already doing. This just means less ammo and armored vests. Which brings me to my next point. I know several people that are 5 years from retiring and may get out if this man is elected. The reason for
this is not due to deployments or lack of patriotism but to the fact of the funds that this man will cut. He has already stated that he will cut the defense budget by 25%, (which will probably go to the
poor and lazy who do not work). What this means in layman’s terms is with less money we will train less, making us less proficient. It sounds good to some people because they are always home with their families and less tax dollars will go to the military, and more tax dollars will go for government programs and to those who do not work or contribute to the improvement of our society. In the big picture this equals untrained soldiers. So the next time something like 9/11 happens (and according to vice presidential candidate Joe Biden will be within the first 6 months of an Obama presidency) we will be called up to do our job. However we will be ill equipped due to lack of funding, and have the combat effectiveness equal to a freaking untrained boy scout troop and many people will die because of this. So I urge you to make your decision wisely when you vote.I would like to touch on 2 other things and then I will shut up. This man has openly said that he wants to take tax payers’ money and give it to people who do not work and do not pay taxes. This is his tax
plan. He will also continue to further reward bad behavior to these people who do nothing for this country but put their hand out and ask for some more $$$(your tax money). If you think it is ok to take money and I mean 50% from people who have went to college for 8 years or longer to make something out of their lives and give it to someone who sits on their ass at home all day and has kid after kid to collect more money from ambitious, hard working Americans then you are an
a*****e and should get off of your ass and earn more money like the rest of the people who found this country. He is stifling the American dream.I am not some hard core republican. As a matter of fact I am for a lot of the things the democratic party represents , but not for what Obama stands for. This man is not the same democrat that use to stand up for the mill worker, the unions, the old people, the veterans, but instead he is the man who stands up for the lazy and the people who do nothing but steal the life out of the people who
make this country so great by taking our money and giving it to them. I am not even going to go into the extremist ties that this man has and how they will form his decision making process as a president. Or all of the voter fraud that I believe this man has condoned.In closing I ask that you are not angered by this email and if you are I apologize. If there is someone that you think that is on the fence of which side to vote feel free to forward this to them, but please do not turn this email into one of those useless forwards that everyone gets. This is not the reason I wrote this and I hope you can respect that. If you have just watched one or two of this man’s multimillion dollar Hollywood campaigns, please do your research before you cast your vote. It may save lives!!!! For those of you who are not going to change your mind, thank you for your patience in reading this email and I will never be sending one of these out again. Also when we are attacked because of this man’s inexperience and you are afraid to open your mail or send your kids to school. I told you so LOL. If you are an Obama voter please do not send any forwards or hate mail to me,
thank you. So if you are a old mill worker or just believe in democrats please rethink your democrat vote this time. Also if you live out in the country in the middle of nowhere or are just not voting please take the time this year to go out and vote. Also, please do not waste your vote. This is an important time in all of our lives. It is not a time to make a point by wasting a vote on a candidate who does not have a chance to win like libertarian Bob Barr.Well I guess everyone now knows where I stand and I just wanted everyone to know that I am one of those soldiers I spoke of earlier who is willing to throw away a pension with only 5 years left due to my beliefs of how badly this man will destroy our country’s military and tie our hands with regards to doing our jobs due to comments like air raiding villages. So if you are one of those people who are voting for him to SAVE THE TROOPS do not do me any favors.
Thank you.

One more thing. If even after reading this you choose to cast your vote for the most liberal senator in US history, at least review some of his policies on his own website barackobama.com. Some of thisjunior senator’s policies include giving 0.8% of our GDP to Africa. This equals approximately 800 million dollars. Also, during a time of war and only 7 years after one of the most deadliest attacks on US soil, he wants to decrease the defense budget by 25%. And the last policy of his to ponder is his tax increase. We are in an economic recession. This is not a time to increase anyone’s taxes. Not our hard workers, not our investors, and certainly not our employers. This tax increase affects everyone. There will be no more raises. There will be no more bonuses. The costs of goods will increase dramatically. And most certainly there will be fewer jobs. So when Senator Obama says his tax cuts only effect the top 5% of wage earners, he is relying on your naivete and your inability to see the bigger picture.

Thank you for your comment Jo.
This email was received by a close friend of my daughter in law, so the authenticity of its origin is not in doubt.
Keep writing and reading.
Kind regards.
Thanks for sharing this, it really hit home for me. I can’t wait to Vote for McCain tomorrow.
I am so glad this soldier wrote this email. I only hope it has reached enough voters in time. I am a well educated, hard working woman who has spent 11 years getting my degree to earn my salary and health care benefits. HELL NO! I don’t support redistribution of wealth! You want what I have? Get off your butt, get an education, get a job and WORK FOR IT! We can’t allow redistribution of wealth! That is only the beginning, but I think our soldier said it all…THANK YOU!
Rachel!!
Wow…I actually had goose bumps reading your comment.
Good luck dear lady.

I am replying only after McCain has been defeated. Sad sad day for us who KNOW better.
God help us!
