Whenever I have volunteered here in Rhode Island or New Hampshire, the young people in their teens and early twenties have inspired me in seeing their involvement in this campaign. They are taking the lead in helping elect Barack Obama. This was the first time I have ever volunteered in an campaign. I am one of those people who has donated in $25 increments. I feel more a part of my government by acting, not standing by.

Not only have I witnessed young people come together in Barack's campaign, but people my age (older). No age group, no ethnic group, no religious group has not been involved.

It is a We The People government. And unless we get involved we will lose what we thought we had.

“If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.” Thomas Jefferson
