President Obama sent me an email

[UpStateEd]

OK ... I signed up to the DNC to get first hand info, well today I rec'd this one (from Barack):

Ed --

I know that, for the most part, Tuesday night didn't go the way we'd hoped for. But we always knew that at the end of a long and hard-fought campaign, regardless of outcome, we'd still have more work to do.

The road ahead is certainly going to be bumpier than we expected -- but that's OK, Ed.

When we set out on this journey nearly ten years ago, we knew it wouldn't be an easy one. And everything we've accomplished since then came about because of our hard work -- our determination to make the change we wanted to see, no matter what obstacles confronted us.

We can't get discouraged, Ed. We can't get cynical. As Hillary said on Wednesday morning, fighting for what is right is worth it.

It's time to brush ourselves off, get back in the arena, and get ready to fight. RSVP now to reserve your spot on tomorrow's call -- and I'll talk to you soon:


Thanks,

Barack

Here's another one...this time from an Asian member of the DNC....these guys just won't stop with the hate and BS:

Ed --

Just a few weeks after my fifth birthday, in the spring of 1942, my parents got my younger brother, my baby sister, and me up very early, hurriedly dressed us, and quickly started to pack.

When my brother and I looked out the window of our living room, we saw two soldiers marching up the driveway, bayonets fixed to their rifles. They banged on our front door and ordered us out of the house. We could take only what we could carry with us.

We were loaded on to train cars with other Japanese-American families, with guards stationed at both ends of each car as though we were criminals, and sent two-thirds of the way across the country to an internment camp in the swamps of Arkansas.

For nearly three years, barbed wire, sentry towers, and armed guards marked home. Mass showers, lousy meals in crowded mess halls, and a searchlight following me as I ran from our barracks to the latrine in the middle of the night -- in case I was trying to escape -- became normal.

So when I hear Donald Trump's transition advisors talk about building a registry of Muslims and his surrogates using the internment of Japanese-Americans as their model, I am outraged -- because I remember the tears streaming down my mother's face as we were torn away from our home

My mother was born in Sacramento, my father grew up in San Francisco, and my siblings and I were born in Los Angeles. We were American citizens, as proud of our country as we were of our Japanese heritage. But in the fear and mass hysteria of wartime, none of that mattered. When our government allowed hatred and racism to overtake our values, nothing else mattered.

We cannot allow our country to be led down that dark path ever again.

Ed, I am committed to fighting for our values, our democracy, and the moral character of our nation. And I am committed to standing with the Democratic Party against bigotry and oppression for the next four years and beyond, no matter what form it takes. I hope you will do the same. Add your name today to stand with me:



Thank you,

George

That is a sad time in American history, but maybe you should ask George what happened to Americans in Japanese custody?

 

[Plater1]

Wow, you guys are on a first name basis. Traitor!

 

[Phauxtoe]

Is it inappropriate to ask if you've ever had a presidential reach around

Read a book called "Unjust Enrichment". It is exactly that story. Not good.
