I may be jumping the gun, but after listening to a few speeches and doing some research, I've decided that I will vote for Barak Obama in the upcoming primaries. I know its not traditionally American to say who you are going to vote for, but I think its important for me to share it so that I can encourage others to vote for him as well.
Here are my researched reasons:
He wants to end the war in Iraq as soon as possible
He wants to provide universal healthcare to every American
He wants to make NCLB actually work (or at least I can hope)
He is an avid environmentalist
He is a charismatic speaker
He makes me feel like I can be a part of the change
I am a bit interested to hear more about his policy on immigration, from what I understand its only ok.
Well there it is. Let me hear what you think.

He says on his website that he wants to both crack down on and decrease illegal immigration. The way he wants to decrease illegal immigration is by working with the Mexican government so that they'll have a stronger national economy which will decrease the need for illegal immigration from Mexico to the US. I think it's a great idea, and one that I've been advocating for at least a year now. I hope Barack wins too.
