Jenny in Richmond, Virginia wrote in to tell us why she's voting:
I am a 47-year-old female small business owner and have registered to vote for the very first time this year; so has my 26-year-old daughter and my 47-year-old husband (Joe the Painter). We are all voting for the very first time. Because we don't want another four more years of what we have had. My daughter and I sat and watched the Wednesday night 30-minuite special that Mr. Obama had on television and it brought my daughter to tears. She is a full time student and works part time and has never voted because of the way the first Bush election was handled and with the way everything has been going to pot since he's been in office, she said she had lost all hope and trust in her government. But last night she said she felt like she was included and that maybe there would be some hope for her and the children that she might have in the future. We have always been a middle to lower-income family, and I have worked hard most of my life and so has my husband. I clean houses and he is a painter so that my daughter can have that better life. But because of this economy I wasn't able to pay for my daughter's college education and hate the thought that she will start her life off in debt. But I pray that the election will take Mr. Obama to the White House as our President so that we all can have some kind of a future. Thank you for fighting for us. God bless you and your family.
