> Some of you may already be supporting the Obama campaign

>       You'll need to check "make honororary or

> want to "honor", i.e. Palin (I did it although
> even that made me shudder.)  Fill in the address to let PP

> campaign headquarters, they'll get the message.
> McCain's headquarters address:

>       McCain for President
>       1235 S. Clark Street
>       1st Floor
>       Arlington, VA 22202
