Barack Obama has inspired my girlfriend to register to vote for the first time!

[Pushed To The Left]

When I first started talking to her online last month (yes, it's a very new relationship), she said she wasn't really into politics. I told her about Barack Obama, she found out more about him, and now she is about to register to vote for the first time so she can support him in the primaries! I love it when progressive-minded people become politically active!

2. Good, this is the way we win in the general election - people get

involved in the primaries and then continue.

3. One more for the Dems!

See that....when you enlighten and educate people, they register to vote....Democrat!

4. Bravo!

I hope she's got lots of friends and shares her thoughts with them, as well.

As my daughter says, "This is my future that's being stolen and that I'm fighting for!"

Young people all need to be told and to realize that what happens next November will affect their lives very directly in myriad ways... and act accordingly!
