I, _________________, do solemnly swear to do everything within my power to help elect you President of the United States.
I do so, acknowledging that:
- You are not the Messiah.
- You do not walk on water.
- You are not perfect.
- You do not have a magic wand.
- You are not a rock star.
- You are not a super hero.
- Sometimes you will disappoint me.
I promise to not withhold my support, when you say something or make decisions that I don’t agree with.
I promise to not put you on a pedestal, and remind myself that it is unfair to think you will get it right every time or have all of the answers.
I ask that you realize that I am not perfect either. Sometimes my doubts, my fears, my anxiety, will outweigh my hope and my enthusiasm.
I make this pledge, with the realization that too much is at stake to do otherwise.
When you do become President, I promise to not put the weight of the world on your shoulders. I realize that I too, have a responsibility to make a better future for my children and generations to come.
My pledge to you, Senator Obama, is to do everything I can, to help an imperfect man form a more perfect union.
Signed,
