I will vote for President Barack Obama because:
I know trickle-down economics don't work and never will. Demand creates jobs, not wealth accumulated at the top by a few.
I cannot endorse the party that supported the banking deregulation that nearly sunk our economy.
I cannot endorse a party whose representatives vowed to defeat anything Obama proposed and who now complain he didn't do enough to help the economy.
I cannot vote for a party so hypocritical that it complains about federal government having too much power except when it wants to have power over a woman's body.
I cannot vote for someone who passed a health care bill similar to the one he now hopes to destroy.
I cannot vote for someone who gives lip service to helping veterans but then talks of dismantling the services in place to support them.
Those are just some of the reasons I will be voting for the President.
