Pennsylvania Spotlight: Lisa in Shrewsbury
Lisa, a resident of Shrewsbury, is another Pennsylvanian who wrote a letter to superdelegates about why she supports Barack. Here is part of what she wrote:
I am a stay-home mom, quiet before now with regards to politics. My parents never talked about their political standings. But, something I heard from Barack Obama has awoken something inside [me].
For years, I have felt as if the political windmill was untouchable. Something that only the rich and elite can influence. I have always felt that anyone in politics is easy swayed with donations, votes, and that the middle class person can’t make a difference in that circle. Until now. I heard Obama speak in Baltimore City and when he said that we all make a difference, that we all must work together to make change, I stood up and haven’t been able to sit down since.
…This country NEEDS Barack Obama to lead us, to inform us, to inspire us, to heal wounds across the world. In my mind, no one but Barack can do this.
A volunteer at her children’s school, Barack’s positions on education and health care are really important to Lisa. She also likes how she’s “able to relate to him. He’s not out of touch with regular folks.”
Lisa’s making sure everyone she knows is to registered to vote as a Democrat by March 24! We need your help registering voters — sign up to help register voters in Pennsylvania this weekend!
