Should we share our e-mail addresses with others outside the 5th?

Howdy. :)
Profile Information
- I support:
- Barack Obama
- About Me:
- PROFESSIONAL
Professionally, I'm the President + CEO of Outsource Marketing (http://outsourcemarketing.com) and blog most weekdays on The Responsible Marketing Blog (http://responsiblemarketing.com). I'm also writing a book on the topic.
POLITICAL
Although I've personally met Hillary (and her husband Bill and then VP Al Gore), I'm a Barack supporter.
My deep, dark secret is that I'm a recovering Republican. I doorbelled for Ford/Dole in 1976 (at age 10), met Ronald Reagan, co-chartered the Gonzaga University College Republicans, and eventually served as Credentials Chair at the Spokane County Republican Convention in 1988. At that convention I heard things that made me shudder, and I began to question all my political views.
In 1992, I was asked to run for the legislature as a Republican, but by that time I had left the dark side and had been involved in a number of liberal causes. I voted a straight Democratic that year, and have continued to do so ever since.
Don't worry, I won't suffer a relapse. I'm a LIBERAL and proud of it.
I'm a delegate for Obama to the Washington State Convention and am mulling running as a national delegate.
PERSONAL
Lived in Seattle from 1992 until 2001, when I moved to the Issaquah Highlands. I've been married for eight years and have two beautiful children (a boy and a girl), aged 5 and 3 1/2.

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually critical election year.
Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
Obama:

Loved your photos. Loved your disclosure concerning being a recovering Republican. I believe our country needs the diversity thoughtful people who make their own decisions, such as you have done, bring!
