Here's the text message that was sent out after 3 a.m. today:Friend - I have some important news that I want to make official. I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate. Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois - the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago. I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change. Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it: http://my.barackobama.com/welcomejoe Thanks for your support, Barack P.S. - Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com. This post has 1 reply... I believe Obama/Biden must publicize their platform in regard to special education. McCain's wife boasts of being a special education teacher at some point in her life and that at least one of their children has a disability.
Parents and teachers of students with disabilities who are recieving special education services under the IDEIA are generally politcally active. While this is not a huge number of people, this is an active number of voters who could benefit Obama's election. Post a Reply...
