I'm sure that running for president is hard, getting up every day, facing the large crowd and working hard to deliver their message. To me, the ability to do that shows a hidden strength that some people don't believe that Senator Obama has. He always has a smile for everyone.
When I met him at the Mitchell, SD rally, he was very friendly and took the time to shake my hand and I'm sure if he had the time would have stopped and visited. I want a president that will take that time with the people in the United States and I believe he is that person.
With the time getting closer to the election, there is the need for all of us to work harder. It may be just talking to people. When I run into someone that says they don't know anything about Senator Obama, I tell them about his books, his website if they have internet. I've run into many people that don't have internet so they have no way of getting the information posted on this site. We need to keep informed and let others know.
I'm 61 years old, in remission from stage 3 colon cancer. I'm presently helping my mother who is 81. She is having health issues and recently found out that the supplemental insurance that she has expires in December. We'll be having to find a new insurance that will cover her problems or go back to Medicare and pay a big chunk for her bills. That would be alright if she had the money, but recently got scammed out of $3100. by an outfit posing as Publishers Clearing House.
This outfit sent an official looking check and a phone number to call. She didand they told her they needed this money to pay the taxes, then went into the bank, took the money from her savings and wired it through Walmart to them. The money went to Alberta, Canada and won't be seen again I'm sure. Publishers Clearing House has issued a Press Release pertaining to this and saying that they have no part of it. The also said "CONSUMERS SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT AT pUBLISHERS cLEARING hOUSE NO PAYMENT IS EVER NECESSARY TO CLAIM A PRIZE. If someone contacts you about winning a prize and requests that you send money back in return for any reason - STOP - you have not heard from the real Publishers Clearing House." If you get one of this letters or think you are a victim of this scam, contact your local police department.
If my mother had contacted me before her actions, I could have saved her money, but she did not tell me for 4 days. By this time, they had gotten the money and run. My mother is now almost broke, will have to sell her house for almost nothing compared to what she paid for it, and move into low-income housing apt in order to survive.
I'm hoping that President Obama will help to stop the scammers also. They prey on our elderly. I know that he is working on a health plan that my mother will be able to handle. He cares for all the people and wants to help any way he can.
I actually didn't make any decisions on who I wanted for President until I read several biographies on all the candidates. After I had read Senator Obamas, that is when I decided he was the one I wanted. I've also read all his policies and plans. We need to get others educated, but I must admit, that is also hard sometimes. Don't give up on Obama, because he can do the job.
GO OBAMA!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
