Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the next president of the United States of America!




Barack Obama!

Recently, my school held a mock election. I voted for Obama, but sadly, McCain won. The entire day I was ridiculed and on my last count, recieved 21 death threats, 17 dirty looks, 5 people said I should go to Hell, and I was called such things such as traitor, Communist, Soviet, criminal, etc. ,etc. I also heard many racist comments directed towards the President Elect. I think we have learned something of the nature of some Republicans. In my frustration, I wrote a letter to the editor of my newspaper, which I will post when it is published.

This event shows the rudeness, intolerance, and inmaturity of some voters.

Over the past few days my mostly-Republican church has begun (or so it seems) shunning me. I even saw a flag hung upside down. I will no longer tolerate this. It is wrong. Very wrong.
