So last night I was forwarded an e-mail from a close friend.  This e-mail was sent to him (and a few others) by his mother.  Knowing I am an Obama supporter he thought I would get a kick out of it.....

Well, at first I did get a chuckle out of it, but soon the humor faded and I was left with the realization that a woman I had grown to know as a second mom, someone that I have the upmost respect for, an educated successful women was beleiving and was legitimately scared after viewing a fear mongering viral e-mail.

I needed to set the record straight and do my part in educating the electorate, because we all know we can't rely on the news for that.
