Barack Obama addresses Vibe readers:

In a letter to be published in the November issue, the Democratic presidential candidate is given a page to address the readers of the urban music monthly magazine. In it, Obama urges them to register to vote, saying, “We are at a defining moment in our history. I am running for president to take this country in a new direction. But I can’t do it alone. I need you,” the letter reads. “Whether it’s the first time, or the first time in a long time, I need you to register and vote on November 4.”

It doesn’t get any more blatant than writing a letter directly to people. The man needs help from all of us to take the presidency and to have the type of impact he is speaking about once he gets there. If you don’t care enough to get behind him, no sweat; it’s only the future of this country that’s at stake!
