Vote for Jenna Clark At-large delegate My favorite part of this year's process, still, is when a man at my precinct caucus said he was changing his vote because of something I said. This being the first time disability issues has gotten the attention and detail deserved, I gathered my courage and spoke at the caucus. Because of my speech problems, I rarely talk in front of that large of a crowd, but I felt noticed by a political campaign for the first time. The man running the caucus would say to the crowd everything I said to him - this was because I couldn't speak loud enough. When people came to the front to change their vote and this man who I didn't know said I played a part in changing his mind, it felt amazing. Ever since that day, I have talked, blogged, and done anything possible to both support Sen. Obama and maybe, just maybe, change more minds. Please check out my delegate page.
