While photographing President Barack Obama for Obama for America – Colorado in Grand Junction, Colorado on Aug. 8th, I took out my FlipCam and recorded over 70 people who answered my query... "In 15 seconds or less, tell me why you are voting for President Obama". Here is the first video of their responses.

Why I'm Voting for President Obama #2 of 3

*edited to add the second video

1. That was good.

Here's mine:

I'm voting for President Obama because I believe women have the right to their own destiny & that absolutely demands that woman have complete control over their own bodies & access to the medications we need, just like men do.

6. Well stated, CrispyQ.

Thanks!

2. I know this is an overused word, but "awesome" pretty much describes this video. I don't think I've

ever been more proud of my country when I see responses like that. Needless to say, it fires me up!

3. Thank you so much for sharing your video with us. I look forward to seeing more.

16. Thanks!

I appreciate your message! There is another video now posted in this thread and another coming on Wednesday. <3

[HungerFighter]

19. Thanks! Final video is now posted!

Thanks much for your message, southernyankeebelle! I have just posted the third and final video in YouTube. Just look on the top of the heap in FacesOfUSAHunger page. [link:

Have a great day! <3

20. Thanks I look at it for sure.

4. Thanks for posting this and the comments!

I am the person who spoke to and filmed all the awesome people in these videos so I really appreciate all your wonderful comments. Thank you!

There are two more videos coming that get even better and address so many issues. I hope you'll spread the videos far and wide so we can encourage people to get registered to vote by the deadlines as well as vote early/mail in, and to complete the entire ballot. All elections matter.

A little known fact is that when Republicans vote, 90% of them fill out the entire ballot. When Democrats vote, only 47% complete the ballot. Democrats win when Democrats vote the entire ballot.

Be well friends. <3

5. Welcome to DU, HungerFighter!

We're so glad you found us!

[HungerFighter]

7. Thanks, CaliforniaPeggy!

I appreciate the warm welcome, Peggy. I'm being a campaign manager through the duration, for a House District candidate but will be trying every chance I get, to participate here. DU is a really cool site and I like the feel of having a place to go, where I can find contentment relating with intelligent and like-hearted Dems. <3

8. I've been here for 7 years, and I feel the same way you do.

It is a great community! And now I have friends all over this country, and in Europe too...

Welcome aboard!

Good luck to your candidate too.

[HungerFighter]

10. Thanks again, Caifornia Peggy!

I appreciate the well wishes for my candidate, Peggy. She's doing well amid LOTS of money flowing from oil/gas interests and lobbyists to her main opponent. I'll be around and enjoying this community as much as I can with working 20 hour days for the duration.

13. Same here! Welcome!

[HungerFighter]

17. Thanks freshwest!

Thanks much for the welcome! I appreciate it and sorry I missed this message earlier. (I'm busy being a campaign manager but love checking into this community, my new home away from the madness.) <3

9. It's a great vid! So glad I watched it!

Welcome to DU, HF! Please come back & post your other ones, too!

I did not know that about dems not completing the ballot.

[HungerFighter]

11. Thank you CrispyQ...

for your kind welcome and request for more videos! (I really like your jaw dropping avatar!)

Since I don't have the time at present to comment on lots of threads (but am eager to partake, especially in the poverty discussions), I'm unable to post the link to video #2 of three except here in this thread. I'm hoping No DUplitious DUpe can post so it appears in the videos of this site. But for now, here you go! [link:

I hope you all enjoy a lovey day and a week rich with many gifts.

P.S. My link is showing in the editing phase but I obviously can't post them yet. If you go to FacesOfUSAHunger in YouTube, it's right on top.

12. My fifteen seconds

Q: In 15 seconds or less, tell me why you are voting for President Obama
A: Because I'm not a brain dead idiot, nor have I had a Limbaughtomy

[HungerFighter]

18. Good answer!

Thanks! Wish I had you on video saying that.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

14. Kicked...

because I added the second video

[HungerFighter]

15. Thanks!

Thanks for posting the second video No DUplicitous DUpe! I like it even better than the first but it's not being viewed as much. I'll upload the 3rd and final video on Wednesday.

21. Really good work. Keep it up. Simple question and get out of the way for them to answer. Right

on.

My reason for voting for the President again is because he is calm, cool and collected. He gets the information before making wild decisions. That is a must when making decisions on foreign issues. Think first before using the red missle button.
