[Westley Annis]

Still this does not negate the fact that he received a *ton* of money from
Freddie/Fannie in the short time he has been in the Senate.

	This is in reply to message # 6 Where are they now?
	First of all I am not an Obama Supporter, but there is so much false
	information circulating about the candidates that I have started
researching all
	political e-mails before I forward them.Check out this link on
snopes
	http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/fanniemae.asp
	 
	These false e-mails when exposed actually do more to help than hurt
the target.
	They make them look like victims of bias
	 and racism and sometimes end up
	generating more support for the candidate.
	We need to make informed decisions not ones based on false e-mails.
The
	internet is a powerful tool and unfortunately is on many occassions
used to
	spread lies and false information to benefit or harm a person or
cause. It also
	sometimes backfires and is then exposed to make the person or cause
a victim.
	This is probably the most important election we will have the
privilege to vote
	in. We need to be informed with the facts not forwarded e-mails that
originate
	from who knows where. Please be responsible and check out your
information
	before forwarding. This applies to both parties and candidates. In
our area we
	get mostly negative Obama e-mails, but there are just as many
negative McCain
	ones out there.
	I am a staunch McCain supporter but we need to know the facts about
both
	candidates to vote wisely. So think and research before you
	 forward.
	Thanks, Cabowabojan
