Help Us at Obama Event Gather Signatures
Are you attending the Obama event Monday? We are doing a project for his visit.I am a Democrat and am hurting because of the high price of gasoline.
Today, on this Father's Day, I was thinking about whether I could afford to put new shingles on my roof and decided to hold off for now because of the rising price of gas. It is now well over $4.00 a gallon and supposedly only going higher.
I supported Governor Granholm for re-election in 2006 and appreciated her hard work in trying to lower the price of a gallon of gas. She formed a petition drive and hundreds of thousands of Michigan voters signed it urging President Bush to take action on this critical problem.Recently, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator McCain endorsed the temporary repeal of the federal gas tax that would have saved Michigan workers approximately 20 cents per gallon of gas over the summer.
Unfortunately, Senator Obama opposed the temporary repeal of the gas tax. But there is still time left to change his mind. He is coming to Michigan tomorrow and we think we can convince him to endorse the gas tax repeal if enough Michigan voters urge him. Our goal is to get 1000 signatures. Will you help?
Therefore, instead of spending time working outside today, I have formed a petition drive, similar to Governor Granholm's from 2006, that urges Barack Obama to join Senators Clinton and McCain in support of the temporary repeal of the gas tax.
We are hurting here in Michigan and we need the help! Please click http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gastaxrepeal/ <http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gastaxrepeal/> and join me in signing the gas tax repeal petition that will be given to Senator Obama this week in Michigan.
Please also forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign!
