“My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent You to Washington”- Barack Obama

No matter who your candidate of choice is for the 2008 election, this quote by Obama should make you think about what you want from any candidate. Whether it’s your Senator, Governor or Mayor it is so important to vote for someone that will have your voice heard. When we vote for candidates we have to think not who will deliver the State of the Union Speech best, and let us know every now and then how the economy is doing. We want someone who is going to listen to what we have to say and fight for changes that we as everyday Americans believe in. This is important to remember for all of you recent grads that may for the first time be voting in an election that you really care about. (Myself included) Look for a candidate that not only is smart and keeps you informed, but really listens to what you have to say.
