The Letter To The New York Times: 
As you said, Obama has gotten this far on hope. We, his supporters have heard his message and we want Barack Obama to know, we've got his back. For every negative campaign that Clinton puts out there, we will counter, not with an attack, but with a good deed. For every tactic of fear, we'll reach out to someone in need; for every attempt to divide on cultural and ethnic lines, we will cross those lines to demonstrate how interconnected we all are; for every sneer that's made at our message of hope, we will demonstrate how that hope brings communities together.

We have made this OBAMA SUPPORTERS, HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR MONTH. Groups from across the nation are joining together to let Hillary Clinton and politicians like her know, we are done with negative politics. We want real hope and it will happen from the bottom up, because we are out here doing the work and making a difference today. This is what Barack Obama has given us. Unity, support & a reason to help our fellow man.
  
The Letter above was written in response to the article in the New York Times article by Bob Herbert, "Confronting the Kitchen Sink" I have included the link below. You are invited to participate in OBAMA SUPPORTERS, HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR MONTH, throughout the rest of March and April. Visit for more information: http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/detail/4r2hz I also have a myspace page for this project at http://www.myspace.com/helpaneighborforobama. This is a nationwide project, I would love to see some Oly groups do something major, contact me if you are interested at the email below.

Sincerely,
Betsy E. Borgacz
