I couldn't help but cry while watching/listening to Brittany's story. I know Obama will definitely do well. He's out to make people's lives comfortable. How do you explain that Americans are poor yet we spend trillions of dollars on charity across the world. Nothing wrong with charity but it should definitely begin from home. Yes WE CAN!

She is helping to make history! We can have change In America by supporting Sen. Barack Obama!

I so agree with, and respect this young woman, and it is with her, I stand. Never surrender your right to hope and to dream. Schools should be the finest buildings and institutions of our cities and culture, second to nothing. Children should know, without any doubt, how important they are from the moment they get off the bus. Healthcare distribution and costs are an absolute Disgrace.

Really touching story. I thank her for sharing that with us. That is the kind of audacity we need in these times. Hope and faith no longer have to be just frivolous dreams, if we do what it takes to make it our reality.

Dear Brittany, I am so sorry for your mother's passing. I am sure she is always with you protecting you and guiding you. My best wishes for your future and your life. Be safe and healthy and take good care of yourself, and study, study, study. We are very proud of our Illinois Senator and we thank you for support.

Thank you for your story. You are an inspiration to us all. I know your mother is proudly watching over you -- smiling at her daughter's courage and determination. No one can control hope. That's why some scoff and belittle it. Keep on!

Thank you for sharing your story. I have a 1 buk food stamp too. But it is kinda torn, I keep it in my wallet. You make me proud as Obama does, "yes we can" do everything we want with hope and hard work. Thank you.
