Cary resident Sara Reese is the first of ten donors to be selected to join Barack backstage tonight at the Election Night event in Chicago. Sara and her husband Kerry have been struggling to make ends meet with rising medical costs and gas prices-- it all began after September 11th when Kerry lost his job and was out of work for a year.
Sara made the first step when she stopped in to the Campaign for Change field office in Cary to register voters and make phone calls to supporters across the state. Here's what she told us about her volunteering experience:
It's a great feeling--you feel special and connected with people. Everyone has concerns and there is one common thread--and thats the economy--we are all wondering how we are going to get our bills paid.
Sara and her son, Cameron
It was then that she made a promise to herself to make a donation to the campaign every month and would allot space in her family budget for it.
I wanted to be a part of this campaign. We need change and I knew Barack Obama would be the one to bring it.
I'm so amazed. This a story I'll be able to tell my son and my grandchildren--it's absolutely priceless, a priceless gift. Barack's successes have motivated us to be better parents. We are turning off our t.v. and working to help our son achieve.
Sara has made her voice heard, make yours heard. Vote for Barack today. Find your polling location and cast your ballot today!
