Tonight, Barb Sackman of Fallon Montana will join Barack backstage as he accepts the nomination. Barb is a teacher living in a small town of 150. She lives on her family's wheat and cattle farm, and rising fuel prices are making it hard to get by. She hopes Barack's plan for alternative bio-fuels will help the struggling economy in rural Montana.
Barb volunteers for her church, sits on a hospital board, and organizes community events in Fallon. Barb says Barack "genuinely cares about the problems of people like me. We appreciate his continued trips to Montana to let us know that we are not forgotten." She is attending the convention with her husband.
Check out this post about Barb on the Montana blog, or this local news story from CBS’s Montana stations. She was also mentioned in this article from the Rocky Mountain News.
