Obama for U.S. President

We, the undersigned residents of New York State, believe U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) should seek the Democratic National Committee's nomination for the 2008 presidential race. We call upon the Democratic Party's elected officials and constituents to support his potential candidacy, and we encourage the senator to acknowledge these qualifications which make him a formidable contender:

1. His charismatic, non-partisan approach to national issues which works for the interest of the public, and not one party, corporations, or special interest groups.

2. His unique background; professional experience in law, community organizing, and state politics, in addition to a multi-cultural identity with inclusive appeal.

3. His well-documented charisma and widespread grassroots appeal, the momentum of which outshine any other potential Democratic nominee.

Our signatures beseech the Office of U.S. Senator Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee to recognize the potential of Mr. Obama's candidacy, and pledge support for the senator in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary.
