Congressman Lloyd Doggett Endorses Barack Obama For President

U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) today endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States.

“When he stands up, all the world will know that America really has changed, that the disastrous policies of the last eight years have ended,” said Congressman Doggett, a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention. “That is why today, I am announcing my vote for and endorsement of Barack Obama.”

“My decision is not based on what is wrong with another candidate, but what is right with him.”

“Today, I am adding one more delegate vote to Senator Obama's total, and I am adding my every effort to help win the support he needs among our neighbors here in Central Texas, win the nomination nationwide, and win the general election in November, so that in 334 days, President Obama can take the helm and set the new course that this country so needs.”
