Someone who I have been a member of a Rocky Horror cast with, someone I have been in the SCA with, someone I have had the strangest of relationships with. I&#8217;ve been thru chaos, and punk, and rasta, and pasta, and book clubs, and parenting discussions with her.<\/p>\n<p>Before I wrote this letter to her I would never have believed it possible.<\/p>\n<p>I asked her to consider backing a political candidate that as of tonight I am not only supporting, but trying to do so financially as well.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written my feelings concerning the candidacy of Barack Obama and my intent to back him on one of his support web pages. That page is:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/my.barackobama.com\/page\/outreach\/view\/main\/lordandrei\">http:\/\/my.barackobama.com\/page\/outreach\/view\/main\/lordandrei<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I ask you at least to read the words that clarify why I do this.
