Learn some geography! If you're going to send me pro-Obama messages like this one

Dear Zach,

I've admired Barack Obama for years.

Since the start of this campaign, I've been able to travel to states across the country on Barack's behalf, talking to voters about his vision for our future.

But I never expected that my home state of South Dakota would play such a pivotal role in deciding the Democratic nominee.

There are only 6 primaries left in this election, and we have a clear path to securing the nomination. But we can't take anything for granted -- every state and every delegate is crucial.

South Dakota is the last state in the country to vote, and we have only three weeks left to organize before the June 3rd primary. Folks here are working their hearts out to build this movement, but they need your help.

Over the next two weekends, we'll be going door-to-door across the state -- can you take the trip to South Dakota and help us finish this race?

I'm for Barack because his plan invests in our economy. He'll stop sending billions to Iraq and end this war. He'll end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. And he'll invest in alternative energies that help states like yours and mine, so that we're not held hostage to foreign oil.

But what impresses me so much about Barack isn't just that I agree with him on the issues.

He has an extraordinary ability to connect with people -- even those who aren't usually interested in politics. I haven't seen a leader like that in decades.

New people are joining this campaign every day -- but Barack can't do this alone. We need folks like you to spread the word -- and in politics, there's no more effective way to bring about change than talking to your fellow voters face-to-face.

In the next two weekends, I hope you'll be able to do what I've done in this campaign -- get in the car, hit the road, and make a difference for Barack.

When milk and gas are both pushing $4 dollars a gallon and jobs are hard to find, it's time for a change.

You and I know what kind of change Barack is offering -- and we know he can deliver.

I hope you'll do everything you can to help in South Dakota.

Thank you,

Senator Tom Daschle

P.S. -- If you won't be able to make the trip to South Dakota, you can make a difference right from home.

Use the Obama campaign's online tool to call potential South Dakota supporters and talk to them about why you support Barack:

maybe you should actually do your research. First and foremost, Montana (or, as some like to call it, THE GREATEST STATE IN THE ENTIRE FREE WORLD) votes that same day. And, as Montana is in the Mountain time zone while South Dakota in mostly in the Central, South Dakota is actually the second to last state to vote. Montana's polls will be open an hour longer. So there.

Secondly, come on dude, you say things like "...milk and gas are both pushing $4 dollars a gallon" and then ask me to drive to South Dakota? It looks like the little town of Altamont is the closest Dakotan town to me, and it's 192 miles each way. Now, I drive a Neon, and so I get pretty good gas mileage, but that trip would run me about $50. Is Barack going to pay me back?

Thirdly, you've already won. If Hillary had any other last name, she'd have dropped out by now. Let it go.

Fourthly, your state is worse in every single way than mine.

Fifthly, but it's still waaaaaaay better than North Dakota.





p.s. End the drama, vote Obama.
