EQUALITY OBAMA STYLE

Greetings from this Same-Sex Couple!!

Received my copy of the HRC Summer News and wanted to share a quote that I felt was particularly meaningful to the GLBT Community.

"I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all GLBT Americans. But neither will I close my ears to the voices of those who still need to be convinced. That is the work we must do to move forward together. It is difficult. It is challenging. And it is necessary". Taken from an Obama letter in 2007.

Although the above is music to my ears, I must guard against permitting this issue to overshadow all the other vital issues that face Obama as his campaign begins the homeward stretch....only three months to go to the election.

The recent tour to meet the heads of countries abroad was very meaningful as the news broadcasts tracked Obama's enthusiastic welcomes. But what about the war? Is it right to bring the troops home when the job isn't complete?

Who will be the choice for vice president? Not Hillary most people are saying....and for such a bright and capable woman this must be a terrible thing to face.
