‘A More Perfect Union’: Messages from Pennsylvania
The only thing more impressive than the sheer number of responses to Barack’s speech that we’ve received so far is the diversity of the people who have submitted them. People of all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs have found echoes of their own stories in Barack’s words, and inspiration in the hope that he offered.
Marcia B. from Pennsylvania:
I’m a white, 74-year-old-woman — the demographic supposedly voting for Hillary Clinton. But I am for Barack Obama. I have been since he first spoke at the Democratic Convention refuting divisive politics, calling for the unification of what is desperate in America, asking Americans to turn the page and move into a new time and a new politics … America is and always has been multiracial and multicultural. I see in the younger generation such a willingness to come together with peoples of many colors and backgrounds and I applaud that. I hope those of my ilk can move beyond fear and prejudice and support moving into an America that can work to mend the broken places in our country and seek to lift us all to our greater possibilities.
Patrick K. from Pennsylvania:
I am a conservative Republican and have not always seen eye to eye with Sen. Obama on many issues. However, his words as well as his actions show that he is a great leader with a deep understanding of and love for our country as well as its people. This is not just change, this is a better way to run a campaign and a better way to govern our country. I will be proud to vote for him.
Randy C. from Pennsylvania:
Now I know why I am changing my registration to Democrat, so I can vote for Barack Obama on April 22nd.
