I disagree with most of Obama's postions, and don't feel he is qualified but I'd rather see him elected than to see him lose solely due to skin color. It's time for racists of all colors to go back into hiding. Sad and pathetic.

Your university is rightly proud of its national reputation, and it was Milo Ross who led the way by getting the school accredited for the first time.<br>In addition to academic excellence, Milo and Alice left a legacy of racial inclusion and tolerance, befitting their Quaker heritage. They provided a home for students from places like Jordan and Kenya. To be a guest in their home was to be treated with grace and dignity, no matter what color your skin was. The Act Six program also bears witness to their legacy. They lived their belief that justice and equality wouldn't be achieved without positive action and support from those able to provide it.<br>Look – there's the portrait. Go stand in front of Milo and Alice Ross, and let me introduce you to my grandparents. Let's tell them how your deed has put this now thriving institution on the map in a new way. Look at them and feel their hearts break because of what you have done.<br>Yours in hope,<br>Karen (Eichenberger) Lollis An open letter to the person who hung Barack Obama in effigy at George Fox University:
