I published a letter to President Obama that I had originally written in August 2011. The post states that I have a hard time voting for him, even after a year having passed since I wrote that letter, because the feelings expressed in that letter are still very much playing themselves out in my heart.  There is a great conflict and I should write more about that since I am heading over to Las Vegas to help the Obama for America (OFA) campaign.  Monday is the last day to register to vote- YOU CAN DO THIS ONLINE!!!- so go here.

Aside from that, probably more significant, is that its Dhul Hijjah- the month of Hajj which offers a chance to charge up those Ramadan batteries.
