In today’s economy, the stories of people living paycheck to paycheck are, sadly, not far and few between. They are happening in every city, in every state, across the country. They happen to families of all shapes and sizes.
People struggle through the hard times, all the while holding on to the hope that things will get better in the end. And that’s why this Independence Day, supporters will be declaring their independence from a broken system to help Barack bring change to a country that so desperately needs it.
Because I still believe in the American Dream, and the only way that we as a nation can dream again...is with change. Barack is the change we as a nation not only need, but deserve. Our children deserve better. I know that what I'm saying seems really simple, but because of the last administration, it also seems so far away. I have never felt so helpless. I want my children to have a better life than me. I am a 40-year-old woman that lives in Montana. My youngest son is half-black...he is 17 years old, but has the wisdom of a 30-year-old man. My oldest son is 20-years-old and is in the Air Force, and I fear for his safety every day. Barack inspires both my sons.I am a single mother, and have worked two jobs almost my entire adult life. I have a great job during the day, and health insurance. However, I had to take a second job again about 4 years ago just to pay the power bill, or buy groceries, etc. I work about 65 hours a week, and I'm always tired. Both of my children are very active in sports, and the community. They are volunteers, and enjoy life to its fullest. My only dream is to be able to only work one job and spend more time with them. There is never enough money left over for vacations, so we try to get away for a day hike nearby. I'm on the verge of losing my house due to foreclosure, but there are not enough hours in the day to take yet another job to help pay the bills. I am a Veteran myself, and the issues that are important to me are shared with Barack. I wish that we as Americans...could dream again and not feel so frustrated. This is the first campaign that I have ever donated or given my time too, but its so worth it.
