Some really bad people are sending emails that say not to vote a straight Democratic ticket in SC. Some say that your vote won’t count for Obama if you vote a straight Democratic ticket, or that pushing the Democratic button will cancel your vote. Some of them even pretend to come from the Democratic Party.
THOSE EMAILS ARE NOT TRUE!!
They are a scam by the Republicans to keep us from voting for all the Democratic candidates, or to confuse us and slow down the voting. Don’t believe them. Voting the straight Democratic ticket is the best way to have your vote counted for Obama and all the Democrats.
I intend to vote for Barack Obama and all the other Democratic candidates by pushing the Democratic button. You should do it, too!
Please forward this email to everyone you know. Tell them to check with the SC Election Commission at www.scvotes.org to see the truth.
This election is too important for you or anyone else to fall for a trick.

Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama speaks volumes about the quality of our candidate. He states clearly that this is NOT about Obama is an African American or as a “first”, but because Senator Obama exhibits the leadership and calm vision that will invite cooperation with allies and sooth potential adversaries. Powell is a veteran Republican and military commander. Crossing party lines is a bold, strong move and should enhance Mr. Obama’s position especially in states with strong military and ex-military presences such as our neighbor, North Carolina.
