I have an obligation to do what I think is best for our   nation regardless of political party.  My love for this country and strong belief in John McCain&#8217;s character,   judgment, and willingness to work with leaders of both parties has convinced me to support him for   President<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I have worked with John McCain for many years in the U.S. Senate and know from experience that he can unite   Democrats, Republicans and Independents like no one else in this country.  He did it in the United States Senate and   he can do it as President of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>But we need help from McCain supporters such as you to reach out to Americans who are not currently involved   in the campaign.  <a href=\"http:\/\/link.johnmccain.com\/?107-17130-4788250-20428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Will you help us by recruiting   your friends, family, and co-workers who may not consider themselves members of the Republican Party and ask them to   join the Citizens for McCain organization?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am confident we will find many Democrats and Independents who, like John McCain and me, put country before   political party and will support a leader with a real record of bipartisanship.<\/p>\n<p>Time and time again John McCain has put his country first. He refused early release when he was held captive   in Vietnam.   He continued to put his country first as a national leader in the U.S. Senate. He put country before   party when he fought to pass campaign finance reform, sought a bi-partisan solution to the immigration problem, and   consistently supported pro-environment policies. His courage to stand up to the failed Iraq war plan of Secretary of   Defense Donald Rumsfeld and lead the fight for a new strategy in Iraq will go down in history, and it saved American   lives. These were not always the easy things to do.  In fact, they were usually very difficult, and often threatened   his political career.  But John McCain did what was right.<\/p>\n<p>He said it best in his speech in New Orleans on Tuesday night:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;(The American people) know I have a long record of bipartisan problem solving. They&#8217;ve seen me put   our country before any President &#8212; before any party &#8212; before any special interest &#8212; before my own interest. They   might think me an imperfect servant of our country, which I surely am. But I am her servant first, last and   always.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The phones at the campaign headquarters have been ringing with disaffected Democrats calling to say they believe   Senator McCain has the experience, judgment, and bipartisanship necessary to lead our country in these difficult   times. Many of these supporters are former supporters of Senator Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Senator McCain has had a very good working relationship with Senator Clinton and will continue to do so in   the future. In the same New Orleans speech he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked   how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans, and she deserves a lot more   appreciation than she sometimes received. As the father of three daughters, I owe her a debt for inspiring millions   of women to believe there is no opportunity in this great country beyond their reach. I am proud to call her my   friend.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am proud to call John McCain my friend and ask you to help our friend become the next President of the United   States.<\/p>\n<p>Please forward this email to your lists today and ask your friends, family, and coworkers who do not   consider themselves Republicans to join me in filling out the Citizens for McCain form today.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your willingness to help me expand this new organization.
