Dan Drinker Endorses Barack Obama

Will Drinker sent me an email tonight:

My brother has Down syndrome.  He’s heavily caught up in the current political race.  We are both Philadelphia natives.  I’d like to share with you his very brief but moving endorsement of Barack Obama.  I believe this is newsworthy because my brother Dan is symbolic. His judgment of character is just as valuable as the most famous or respected individuals currently receiving press for endorsing a candidate.  Please allow his honest voice to be heard.  Find out more about my older brother’s impact on the world around him and the documentary we’re making together at http://dandrinker.com.

I wrote Will and told him that I’d support him and his brother Dan and their documentary project in any way I can. Here’s Dan’s Endorsement of Senator Obama:
