 My Friend,
From
the time I entered the Naval Academy at age seventeen I have been
privileged and honored to serve my country.
Throughout my years of service, I've been faced with challenges
where I could have taken the easy way out and given up. But I'm an
American and I never give up. Instead, I choose to show courage and
stand up and fight for the country I love. Today, I am asking you
to stand with me and to fight for our country's future.
Our country faces enormous challenges and our next president
must be ready to lead on day one. My lifetime of experience has
prepared me to lead our great nation. I'm prepared to bring
solutions to our economic challenges, bring our troops home in
victory and improve our nation's healthcare system.
Time and
time again, my country has saved my life and I owe her more than she
has ever owed me. I have chosen to show my gratitude through a life
of service to our country and tomorrow, you will have a choice
before you.
I humbly ask you to make the choice that will
allow me to serve my country a little while longer by casting your
vote to elect me as your next President of the United States.
Finally, I ask that you never forget that much has been
sacrificed to protect our right to vote. We must never forget
those Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice, and
with their lives, have protected our freedom. It is my great hope
that you will exercise your right to vote as an American tomorrow.
I thank you for your kind support, your dedication to our
cause, and most importantly I thank you for your vote.
With
sincere appreciation,
John McCain
