jennythereaderWhy I am voting for Barack Obama:
Because I am part of the 80% of America that will do better under his tax plan than under McCain's. A comparison of both candidate's tax plans.
Because he supports woman's rights to make their own decisions about reproduction.
Because he has opposed the Iraq war since the beginning and has a plan for bringing our soldiers home.
Because he has been in Washington long enough to know the ins and outs, but not so long that he has forgotten what things are like in the rest of the country.
Because as a practicing lawyer he specialized in civil rights law and fought for victims of housing and employment discrimination.
Because as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School he taught Constitutional Law, with a focus on due process and equal protection.
Because his choice for Vice-President has real foreign policy experience.
Because I believe him to be an intelligent, honest man who will put all of his considerable abilities to work for the betterment of our nation.
Because elite means the best. It is not an insult, instead it is what we as Americans should require our President to be.
