He'll help rural Americans get the health care and schools they deserve by providing incentives and grants that will bring teachers and doctors back to rural towns.
And he will conserve more land for hunting and fishing and protect the rights of gun owners. Barack fights for rural values because, as he says, "rural values are American values." In Wytheville this week, a group of grassroots volunteers showed their support for Barack and his dedication to rural America by painting a local barn. Check it out:

Country and Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley is from Southwest Virginia. He was born there, he still lives and works there, and let's just say he has no plans to leave anytime soon. Ralph has seen first hand the impact eight years of George Bush's policies have had on the rural communities of this great state he calls home, and he knows that Virginia just can't afford four more of the same.

One of those Americans was Richmond native Tranice Johnson, who was chosen to meet Barack backstage at Mile High before his speech, because he wanted to hear her story. Here it is:
