Jackson Free Press: Vote Barack Obama on March 11


By Christopher Hass - Mar 7th, 2008 at 2:42 pm EST

Today's edition of the http://www.jacksonfreepress.com/comments.php?id=16478_0_27_0_C">Jackson Free Press formally endorsed Barack Obama:

The Jackson Free Press enthusiastically endorses Barack Obama for the Mississippi Democratic primary on March 11. We believe strongly that Obama brings the change and enthusiasm that Mississippians, and Americans, desire in order that we might find unity as a nation after a long period of very partisan leadership from both major parties. We admire Obama's ability to get younger voters, as well as non-white voters, excited about turning out to vote. That, added to his remarkable appeal to white voters, including many Republicans, can mean the kind of leadership many Americans, and Mississippians, crave.

Perhaps most of all, we admire Obama's willingness to stand up for what he believes, particularly his stance against a poorly executed war in Iraq, in which many Mississippians lost family members. And we feel secure that he is ready to take the presidency after eight years of George W. Bush and turn the country in the right direction toward fiscal responsibility and renewed hope for the future.

Obama is bringing excitement, and hope, back to politics for many people who had lost it. The Jackson Free Press encourages all eligible voters to vote for Barack Obama in Tuesday's primary election.
