How to vote for Obama by katerickert

"I just filled out my absentee ballot!"

How I did it: In June, Obama came to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, and my friend and I were the first people in line to see him.  We waited for over twelve hours in the rain, but it was worth it.  Hearing him speak was the chance of a lifetime, and I would have waited even longer in line to see him.  His speech made me finally proud to be an American, something that I don't think has ever really happened.  It was one of the most memorable days of my life and made me so excited to vote for him.

I got my absentee ballot in the mail the other day and immediately filled it out.  It sounds silly, but this was seriously one of the most empowering things I have ever done.  I felt like I was really making a difference.  Now we just have to wait and hope that he gets elected!!
