For "Proud Democrats", a song to consider!

President Obama and 1st Lady Michelle Obama sent me this letter acknowledging that they received my Democratic Party song. "Say it loud, Democrat and I'm proud" I'm truly excited!

Along with the lyrics,there is a sound recording attached to this posting.
Please give a listen and I would like to hear you opinion. Hope to hear from you soon.


Democratic Party Motivational Song

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice
It my belief that every woman should have her own voice
Some people say that I’m a liberal because I look ahead and not behind
Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Don’t say I’m not a Christian because I don’t do as you do
Don’t decide what is good for me and I won’t decide what is good for you
Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands
It is not your position to decide where we stand

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

Some criticize me because I have different ideology
But I’m also a loyal American and I make no apology
I will work hard and I’m hell bent
To elect a democrat as our next president
A proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated
I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated
I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back
Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a simple fact

Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and I’m proud!

(I'm convinced we can work through the stalemate
I believe in compromise and I'm not driven by hate)

if Obama hadn't admitted to being a Blue Dog Democrat in one of his books. Very disappointed.

I can say that even as an atheist. I DO share the sentiments of ann in post#1 tho. I only wish Obama was as much a Democrat as the wife and I are. We'll be voting against Mitt Romney this time around.

How about recording this song so we can hear ir here?

I was looking for a highlighted "link" - not realizing the last image was a youtube link. So - while it's not my sorta tempo, I do appreciate the message and your composition. Hope it gets further recognition. And have that letter framed!
