Thanks to JedReport on DailyKos I was put on to another ugly fact about the Clinton campaign. Her chief strategist, Mark Penn, works with John McCain's top advisor. More dirt. It never stops.

I think we've done a good job covering this campaign between our posts, your comments and of course, the Clinton Attacks Obama wiki. However, there's only one solid way to end this. Sure it may help to write or call the DNC (202-863-8000) or write respectful letters to her campaign, but the best way is to beat Hillary Clinton, resoundingly, on March 4th. People, we cannot let this madness continue.

Here are steps you can take to ensure Obama rocks this thing and closes the chapter on these shady people.

This is it. I'm tired of reading and complaining about Hillary and her nasty ways. Let's do the damn thing and end it.

My next post will provide advice on how to canvass for Obama. You need to be on the phone with your family and friends. You need to help put a stop to this ugliness.

DO NOT EXPECT OTHERS TO DO THIS FOR YOU

Be the change you want to see.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines, get in the game. There can be no watching when it comes to negativity like this. When your kids ask you what you did when Hillary Clinton used race and fear to attack Barack Obama, when she attempted not simply to win her own nomination but undermine him in the general election, what will you be able to say?

"I read about it?"
"I wrote a comment on a blog about it?"
"I got real mad on the inside?"

No, that is not enough. More is demanded of you. Help stop it. Now.

If we don't do this, then we will get the type of politics we claim to despise.
If we don't do this, we have established a negative playbook against future black candidates.
If we don't do this, we deserve neither the presidency nor the government nor the country that might emerge with Barack Obama.

He is not the one being tested. We are.
