New America
Dear Mr. Obama,
Congratulations on winning the United States Presidential election by a very clear margin.
I'm not congratulating you for being half Black, or for being Democrat. I'm congratulating you because you have the power. Next year, when you take that oath, please remember how much power you have. You warned us in your acceptance speech that the journey will be long. Please don't forget. Use your best judgement, because you're going to have more than a hundred issues on your to-do list everyday that you're in office, and you can't please everyone. Please be a listener. Don't let that power bring you down; let it raise you up.
Thank you for everything you have done and plan to accomplish.
Sincerely,
Kathryn M. Hartmann-Dow
