On Obama to visit Beloit

Posted on February 18 at 3:24 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

My 16 year old daughter and I recently waited 2 hours in the snow and cold to see Obama in Madison. We were turned away because they had reached capacity. We were very disappointed but still backed him. Last Friday, we drove to UW-Oshkosh to see him. After another 2 hour wait, we were let in and participated in that rally. We left feeling inspired and had a wonderful conversation about Obama and what he wanted to do and how we felt about that. I am 45 years old and have never before felt so strongly about a candidate. I usually vote for the person I dislike the least. For once I will be able to vote for someone that I feel will make a difference. This country needs someone who is willing to make change. If you have ever really listened to him speak, he says it is not going to be easy and it is not going to happen over night. This country is in sad shape and it will take diligence and hard work to pull us out of the hole we have allowed our government to dig for us. We as citizens of this country need to dig in and help make this change. The first step is to get over our fear of change and vote for Barack Obama.
