Having recieved my ballot for the Washington Presidential primary today I realized that I needed to pass on a message to everyone that will hear it. Without declaring myself Republican or Democrat I need to set the record straight about one particular candidate.
More than once I have been told the rumor about Barack Obama being Muslim, or a Muslim extremist, hiding the fact he is Muslim, or some version of these things. Some got it from an e-mail, the others, I can only guess. While I understand the concern of these accusations I had the suspicion they were false. So, I looked it up on http://www.snopes.com/ and hope you will follow this link to the page confirming that the allegations in the e-mail, at least, were false. The page does a very good job of addressing each statement and giving correct information about Obama. I found it very informative.
These things said, I don't care who you support, whether you like or dislake Barack Obama or any of the candidates, I hope you will join me in an effort to STOP the slander - even if the candidates themselves cannot do so ;)
Remember to Vote!
