With Pennsylvania's presidential primary just around the corner, some residents have yet to make up their mind. However, there are a few points to ponder about why Sen. Obama would be a better candidate and a better President.
Now you are probably asking yourself why I feel that I have the right to speak about the PA primary. I was born in Pennsylvania and spent the first 14 years of my life living there. Currently, I have many relatives who continue to live in the Keystone State.
I read that since the year 2000, Pennsylvania has lost 200,000. Manufacturing plants and businesses have closed and moved out of the state. People have seen their entire way of life changed because of job losses. Small cities and towns have lost their tax bases and stores and office buildings are empty. Facing the loss of population, school districts have had to join together with neighboring districts to consolidate their schools and services. It isn't right that so many men and women have lost their sense of security that they once had about their future.
Pennsylvania, like Ohio, needs help and, above all, hope. There is only one candidate that can bring us both, and that is Sen. Barack Obama. We can no longer continue on this downward spiral for our country and our children. We need to make change and it has to happen dramatically. Sen. Obama is bright, intelligent, and a real motivator. His encouragement can bring back the hopes and dreams of all Americans as well as solutions to the problems that we all face. We cannot continue to have the same old, same old people and politics. We need change and Sen. Obama will be that instrument of change.
To my family, friends, and all Pennsylvanians, on your primary day, please support Sen. Obama for President.
Thank you.
