Funny!! It is from Obama, and yes it is authorized. FYI
Why would the Fattah organization risk sending an unauthorized e-mail signed "Barack Obama"? Kirk Wattles : " Obama signed on with the Fattah campaign a while ago, when it looked like more of a sure thing. He'll probably be just as happy with Nutter or Evans (or Knox for that matter), if that's what it comes down to" However, your comments, are not authorized and are intended to undermine the credibility of the candidate you claim to support. Obama speaks for Obama. Whether it is a sure thing or not today, the Fattah message is the same and hasn't changed along the way which is why Obama still supports Fattah. Change poverty, change the world.

I suppose the Obama campaign authorized that letter, but it wasn't Obama or his campaign that sent it. > From: Sen. Barack Obama [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 12:07 PM > Subject: Chaka Fattah Needs Your Help I think that "From:" line is a little bogus. I'm an Obama supporter, and the Obama campaign knows I'm in Philadelphia, but they didn't send me that message directly. Like Sharrieff I got a copy of it from phillyforfattah.com, who seem to be sending it out unsolicited (a.k.a. spam). Obama signed on with the Fattah campaign awhile ago, when it looked like more of a sure thing. He'll probably be just as happy with Nutter or Evans (or Knox for that matter), if that's what it comes down to. Now, speaking of Obama: On Tuesday May 22nd -- after the mayoral race is decided -- Barack Obama is visiting Philadelphia. He'll be at the Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St. Doors open at 4pm, and the event starts at 5pm or so. Tickets in advance are $50 for average folks, $25 for students, and $100 if you want "VIP" treatment. For more info and for tickets, here's the link: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/philly (The cost of admission is treated as a contribution to the Obama campaign.) Another link to connect with what's happening around Phila for Obama: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/group/PhiladelphiaforObama/ For good measure, here's a thread at youngphillypolitics.com comparing (at many points) Fattah and Nutter: http://www.youngphillypolitics.com/ why_im_supporting_fattah_philosophy_matters - Kirk > -----Original Message----- > From: Sen.
