Hi, my name is Ashley Vildor and I'm 16 years old. I know I can't vote for another 2 years but I can still speak right? We, Americans, need change for our country, family, and decendents. We need a person who will lead this country into the right direction and lead us not astray. Our faith in George Bush, for Lord's knows what, has lead us into an economic crisis, jobless people, and more poverty. George Bush destroyed this country and we need a leader that will not dictate what we will do and when to do it but someone who will give us that push we need to truly make the United States...united.
Now, I know many people are thinking, "she's just a kid, what does she know about anything" but your wrong we kids know more than the adults do half of the time. Like last election, i'm rooting for the person who will get us out of the ditch that Bush created for us. Someone who will stop this pointless war in Iraq and bring back the solider who miss their families dearly. May those who died may they rest in peace.
I am talking, obviously, about Barack Obama. Someone who has stuck to what he has said since the beginning unlike John Mccain who has changed his campaign several times just to make more people vote for him. John Mccain is not what you need, not what your children need, and not what this country needs. This country needs a leader not a figurehead. We need change. We need Barack Obama.
I may be 16 but i believe in him like no other. I believe that he will help us in medicare and help the poor and those who are jobless. I am not just saying this just for the sake of it or just because I am also black but I am saying this because I know the pains and sorrow of those who have suffered too long. Immigrants who have came to America hoping for a better only to be sent back to their poor country or stayed and with no house or job. It brings tears to my eyes when I see the elderly not being able to pay for their medicine they desperately need or the children who beg in the streetjust to survive.
Change is right around the corner. All we need to do is take a hold of it and make the right choice. Vote for Obama, he will, with your help, aid and rebuild this country.
Coming from a 16 year old and not a 60 year old this may be utter crap but I don't think so because who knows by posting this I may have persuaded a few undecided into voting for Obama. WHen you go vote, think about how each canidate will change this country and think "Can my vote change this country?"
The answer?
Yes...it can.
Vote for Obama. The real canidate of change.

Recently on the news, it was reported that Sen.John McCain favors state adoption law that states that only "traditional" families may adopt children.
We must take a moment to think about all of the children that sit in foster homes for years, many of them poor, waiting to be adopted.
I think that this shows the true nonsense of the Republican Party and of John McCain.
While Sen. Obama is trying to figure out how to improve the economy and end this unfortunate War in Iraq while winning in Afghanistan, Sen. McCain is making sure that kids in foster homes have less of a chance at success in life.
Although I can not vote, I ask all of my elders to please refuse to accept the nonsense offered by Sen. McCain. He might as well be an extension of the Bush/Cheney presidency. Between his poorly thought out ideas on offshore drilling, to his notion that Americans just "don't care" about being in Iraq for 100 years, it is clear that we need change with substance.
Vote Obama in 2008!

The story of how I got involved with the Obama campaign is an interesting one. It actually started off with Bill Clinton. Personally, I am a big fan of Bill. Thats why I got extremely excited when he came to Greenville to give a speech.
I wanted to see him speak, so I found out as much as I could about the situation. It was my dad that told me they were looking for volunteers to help with the event. I signed up at once. I didn't end up doing very much, but I was able to stand almost directly in front of him when he was speaking. And whenever he came around to shake hands with people, I was there.
Bill Clinton has soft hands.
I left that event with a great memory, and an offer for an internship with the Clinton Campaign. I was somewhat confused about what to do now. I believed that an internship would be a great opportunity, but I was an Obama-fan. So, I decided to see if there was an Obama office in Greenville. There was. And I went and asked whether or not they had any kind of internship opportunities. They did. And so I worked for three weeks in the Greenville Obama office during the Democratic Primary.
I spent hours upon hours canvassing, phone banking, entering data into the computer, and getting lost in rural areas. At the end of the NC primary Obama had won, and I was on cloud 9. As I was leaving the Greenville office for the last time one of the feild workers there suggested that I apply for the Obama Organizing Fellows program. I wasn't exactly sure what that was, but I applied. I got accepted, and I received 3 days of intense training so that I could work the general election.
So now I am stationed in Greenville, NC once again. The campaign hasn't really gotten off the ground there yet, but it's coming together.
The past few months have been a great experience for me, and I love where I'm at now. Not many 16-year-olds have had the chances that I've had.
