We're sure that you have no doubt who we'll be voting for in November. But you
should also know that we would be voting for our Dad in this election even if he
had not raised us, loved us, tutored us, coached us, and even listened to a few
excuses from us for late curfews. We have been privileged to know our President
personally and we know he is the right person to lead our country - especially
when there are so many important issues at stake.
Our Dad has qualities that are needed in a President - loyalty, humor
(embarrassing as it sometimes may be), compassion, and, most importantly,
integrity. We're not the only ones who see it. In fact, our friends - from
varying political backgrounds - are supporting our Dad in November. Not only
because of his decisions to liberate the women of Afghanistan or bring freedom
to the people of Iraq, but because during the last ten years they met a man
whose title was Governor or President, but who was always happy to be known as
"our Dad." He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable in our house (except
for the occasional boyfriend) and our friends got to know him as a really good
guy.
We know that when you get to know his record as President, you too will feel
compelled to participate in this year's election - and hopefully get involved in
the campaign, too. We know it can be hard to find time to think about politics.
We just graduated from college and are perfectly aware that schoolwork, parties,
and extra-curricular activities keep students busy, away from campaigns and
voting booths. In the last election, less than half of 18- to 24-year-olds were
registered to vote, and only 32% of them actually did vote. Sadly, many
Americans our age did not take advantage of their right to vote.
We are asking you to get involved with this campaign not only because it is the
most critical election of our lifetime, but also because we have the ability to
positively change our future. Please encourage your friends to sign up on the
campaign's web site (www.GeorgeWBush.com) and register to vote online. At the
web site you'll also find a lot of information about how to get involved in our
Dad's re-election campaign. It's an easy process, and it's the best way to have
a say in this year's election.
Thanks for taking a few minutes to think about some big issues. This is a really
important election, and we know that with your help our Dad will win in
November.
