WHY I'M A DELEGATE FOR OBAMA
TOP 5 Reasons I Like Obama
  1. He inspires us to be more than we think we can be.
  2. He will lead with intelligence and honesty.
  3. He will promote and implement progressive policy and laws.
  4. He will be compassionate as he works through economic and social justice issues facing this country.
  5. He will collaborate with the rest of the world to tackle climate change and the problems that threaten our very existence.

I have been a Congressional District and state delegate many times before. I have never run for national delegate. This is the year I planned to run. Never did I anticipate the excitement this race has generated. It is our duty as members of this democracy to be informed, involved, and active. This year is an historic time and Barack Obama is an historic candidate. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of this campaign and proud to be a Democrat!

Whatever happens I will continue to work for the values we hold in common.
