I received this yesterday. I had trouble posting it. I've been told to stay under 1000 characters, so I have split this into 3 parts. Ingrid was just elected, and is one of two Arlington officials who is an immigrant. Read, and see if of any interest or use to you.

-----Why I support Howard Dean...
As I watch the presidential campaigns unfold, I am more convinced
than ever that I am supporting the right candidate: Gov. Howard Dean.
Dr. Dean has an impressive program of initiatives and solutions to
what ails America. Other candidates have mentioned some of these
issues as well. They have all talked about world peace, healthcare,
immigration. But how can I believe candidates who voted to support
the current White House resident in his desire to occupy Iraq? And
how can I get excited about candidates who have hardly discussed the
racial disparities in healthcare?
