At the age of 60, Pamela of Anderson, IN is going back to school. “I feel kind of old going back to school,” she says, “But it’s never too late to learn.” After her job at an automotive plant in Michigan was shipped overseas in January, Pamela moved back to Indiana to study accounting through a federal retraining program.

Pamela was very impressed with Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention. “She did really well,” Pamela said. “I especially love how family-oriented the Obamas are.” With five children, ten grandchildren, and one grandson, family is important to Pamela, and she was pleased with Michelle Obama’s commitment to her family.

This year marks the first time that Pamela has donated to a political campaign, saying she was very impressed with Barack Obama’s message for change. “We need a change, and he’s the right person to make it happen. There are a lot of poor people who need help right now.”

Healthcare is one of Pamela’s main concerns in this election. She says, “I hope Barack Obama can do something about health insurance, because neither me or my husband is insured right now. It’s just too expensive.”

Pamela will be casting her second vote ever in a presidential election this November for Barack Obama.

Make a donation today and join Pamela and millions of other Americans calling for change in their communities and across the United States.

Voices for Change is a series featuring profiles of Barack Obama's grassroots supporters from across the nation. The people who make up this movement come from all different backgrounds, but they share a common goal of helping bring about fundamental change in Washington.
