I write about why America needs Barack Obama as our next President. I also write about why John McCain and his running mate is not ready.
Today, I'm calling upon every American to support and vote for Senator Barack Obama in this presidential election. As a young American, I want to see a America that everyone that wants a job, can have one. As Americans, we can make history and turn this country back on the right direction!
Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin is not the change that Americans are looking for. Senator Obama's speeches come from his heart and from what he has learned. Governor Palin's 2008 Republican National Convention speech was written by President George W. Bush's speechwriter. If Senator McCain and Governor Palin wants to define ‘change’ as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that’s their choice.
Each and every time, a new generation has risen up and done what's needed to be done. Today we are called once more - and it is time for our generation to answer that call. Let us be that generation that elect Barack Obama and put America back on track and made it truely great once again.
I've said this from day one of this presidential campaign. I thank Senator McCain for his service for this country but he is not the person that I believe is ready to lead America or even ready to understand the problems that Americans have.
Do we want a President that supports George W. Bush's policies and goals? Do we want a President that opposed creating a federal holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.? Do we want a President that is against funding of sex education?
Do we want a Vice President that hates community organizers? Do we want a Vice President that abuses her powers? Do we want a Vice President that strongly supports development of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
Senator Obama is not in this race for President just to hold an office, but to gather with you to transform America. Senator Obama wants us to win that next battle - for justice and opportunity. Senator Obama wants to win that next battle - for better schools, and better jobs, and health care for all.
I want a President that favors the concept of equal pay for everyone. I want a President that supports a tax plan which includes an $80 billion tax cut for American poor and middle-class families. I want a President that has strong record of support for clean air. I want a President that understands Americans problems and issues. I want a President that wants healthcare for every American.
I want a Vice President that supports teachers and schools. I want a Vice President that wants funding to find new energy sources other then drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. I want a Vice President that favors adding sexual orientation to the criteria for a hate crime. I want a Vice President that is against giving tax cuts for big corporations.
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, please join me in supporting Barack Obama for President and Joe Biden for Vice President of the United States of America. I may not be able to vote in this election but tose can vote in America can show the world that we want REAL change!
