On the air with student focused ad in Pennsylvania

Our campaign is airing a new radio ad in Pennsylvania, targeting youth voters in the run-up to the state's Democratic primary. "Across America, our generation is stepping up for Barack Obama, and now it's your turn." With a consistently close race in the Keystone State, we're looking to bolster youth turnout beyond all expectations. Our campaign is in overdrive as we prepare for Pennsylvania's primary, "but the change we need begins with you." 

Remember, in order to vote for Senator Obama in Pennsylvania's April 22nd Democratic primary, you must register as a Democrat by Monday, March 24. You're eligible to vote so long as you will be 18 years-old by primary day, and so long as you live in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for a minimum of 30 days.

Student reactions to last week's speech

 

“Senator Obama offered us all a moment of true candor today, as he addressed some of the most entrenched prejudices that divide our country to this very day. Our history is imperfect, but we will always have our future right there ahead of us. I cannot help but to be hopeful, having witnessed the birth of Barack Obama's candidacy and the life of this campaign.” ---Justin Charity, Georgetown University

“The speech displayed a depth of understanding that I have not heard in race dialogue in America.  Senator Obama once again proved that he is ready to take on the most important aspect of the presidency - clear, informed, moral leadership and agenda-setting.  I hope the message resonates with all Americans, regardless of color, and spurs  substantive, level-headed, and hopeful debate about the future of race in this country.” ----Joshua Darr, Boston College
