I signed up for the Obama Foundation; My mail to them
I came across an open invitation on the Internet to join the Obama Foundation and thought I should sign up. So I did that. I am not able to locate where I saw that - perhaps on Facebook somewhere.
Here's the Obama Foundation website: https://www.obama.org/.
I got an email from the Obama foundation after signing up. BTW after sign up a dollar contribution window comes up which I did not respond to.
I felt it appropriate to share what I wrote back on the email I got from Obama Foundation. I think it is not appropriate to share Obama Foundation's mail to me even though it seems to be a standard non-profit org response. I would be glad to receive any thoughts and suggestions readers have on this. Thanks.
Here's what I wrote them (slightly edited):
To: Obama Foundation <info@obama.org>
Dear sir/madam,
I am a social media writer on spirituality, religion and other topics. I was inspired by the global vision that Mr. Obama had when he was president of the USA and articulated that vision very effectively. In particular, I was impressed by his multi-faith (including those of no faith) approach in an age where some people associated with some religions (one in particular) had, and still, give a very bad name to religion due to their violence committed in the name of religion. Mr. Obama ensured that bad actions of a few associated with a religion did not result in persecution of other innocent and law abiding adherents of that religion. I very much appreciate these efforts of him and his presidential administration.
In his speeches, Mr. Obama as USA President, expressed a knowledge based view on economic, health, education and environmental (climate change) challenges faced by the world. I very much appreciate those contributions of Mr. Obama.
I do have many constraints on what I could do to contribute to Obama foundation. Perhaps one area where I could contribute is to share initiatives of Obama Foundation which I agree with, on social media.
Thanks & Regards
