How to vote for Obama
It made me
empowered
 "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!!

How I did it: For the first time ever, I voted early instead of on the actual election day. We did this because we're pretty sure our votes were lost four years ago in the congressional run between Buchanan and Jennings. We voted for Obama and other Democrats, and we won back the White House! Read how I did it…

We headed to the polls...
12 months ago
at 4:45p, after both of us got off work. We headed to separate lines due to last names far apart in the alphabet, and then were reunited again after a bit. It was predicted that we’d be in line for about an hour and a half, and that was pretty spot on. As we waited, we read the Huffington Post on our phones and saw that Obama had had over 100 electoral votes at that point. We stated this fact aloud, and people all around us nodded heads in agreement.
A baby wailed in front of me in line, a man got angry at the voting volunteers because he didn’t want to be filmed, (there was a video camera near the voting stations), and throngs of people anxiously waited to get their turn. When the time finally came, I pulled out my ballot and filled in Barack Obama/Joe Biden for President and Vice-President. That was my priority, first and foremost, before all other choices. Filled in all the other positions/propositions, then we headed home triumphantly. We did it, and so did the rest of America! Democracy lives!

Obama gives me hope! I truly believe he will bring us all together and lessen this deep chasm we seem to have between the left and the right.

Today I cast my vote for "that one"
13 months ago
We’re in the middle of Early Voting here in Nevada, and in my county, Clark, Democrats are turning out in huge numbers… double the GOP turnout. This is a “battleground state” according to both campaigns and the press. Obama himself will be here for a rally on Saturday, which I am sure will spur even more Democrats to get to the polls. If you have the opportunity, don’t wait till November 4th. Vote early and add to our ranks.
