Quadsville

Happy Labor Day everyone! I am back in the Quad-Cities after spending last week at the Democratic Convention in Denver. If you didn't get a chance to watch Senator Obama's acceptance speech, I recommend you look it up on YouTube. It was one of the greatest political speeches I have ever heard.

Senator Obama talked about ending the war in Iraq and refocusing the fight against terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

He talked about creating jobs and giving middle class families tax relief.

He talked about making health care more affordable and ending our dependence on foreign oil.

He talked about ending corruption and bringing accountability back to the federal government.

Finally, he talked about ending the partisan divide and uniting the country behind a common purpose.

It is clear that Senator Obama is the person we need to lead our nation during these challenging times.

I look forward to helping him get elected this November.
