Fightin' Joe Biden – Campaign Promises are important

I got a letter from my close, personal friend, Senator Joe Biden, that I’d like to share with you folks. Please, read below:

Dear [Bestest] Friend,

In the months since our presidential run came to an end, I’ve done my best to uphold the promises I made throughout the campaign. I still believe, with every fiber of my being, that this year’s election is the most important in our lifetime — no matter what our respective ages are.

There is so much at stake:

the physical security of our children;

the economic security of our families;

and the retirement security of our parents.

We must ensure that our local law enforcement is equipped to keep our families safe, that our veterans are treated with the dignity and care they have earned, and that – above all – we responsibly end this war that we should never have started.

To that end, I recently addressed the Connecticut Democratic Party at their Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner, and I wanted to share my remarks with you. You can read the full speech on my website.

On another occasion, I spoke at Georgetown University on “2008 and the Stakes for America’s Security”. I started with a simple premise: After eight years of the Bush Administration, our country is less secure and more isolated than it has been at any time in recent history. We cannot afford another four years of Republican stewardship of our nation’s security. You can read the full Georgetown speech online.

As we move towards November, I pledge to you that I’ll continue to do everything in my power to steer our nation towards responsible, forward-looking policies both at home and abroad — and that starts with electing Barack Obama the next President of the United States.

Let’s stay in touch — let me know what you’re thinking and how, together, we can move this country in the right direction.

Thanks,
