Vicki, a former teacher from Great Falls, is a lifelong Republican who is supporting Barack for President. She admires Barack becase she says, "he's a thinking person," and she and her husband, a retired officer in the military, both voted for Barack by absentee ballot.

Vicki has canvassed her neighborhood, and stops by our Great Falls office on a regular basis to make phone calls to undecided voters. When she talks to someone who says they're a Republican, she replies, "well I'm a Republican too, but I'm supporting Barack because he's the most qualified candidate." She also passes out "Republicans for Obama" buttons around her neighborhood."

Vicki supplies gifts for veterans and says, "I support the veterans and the troops." She is opposed to the war in Iraq and is glad that "Barack had the judgment to speak out against it."

Vicki was one of the ten winners of the "Montana Change Challenge," and after knocking on over 100 doors last Saturday, she was able to meet Barack after his rally in Bozeman. She said that the event in Bozeman was "electrifying," and that Barack's charisma "reminds me of JFK. I like how he attracts the youth to vote."

Vicki is encouraging everyone she speaks with to vote early, and so can you! Visit your local office today and get involved!
