Youth registered independent voter for Obama - The Undecided Voter Project (sitios de interés)

This is the first year that I'm eligible to vote, and I intend to cast my ballot for Barack Obama. I believe he will be more fiscally responsible than a president McCain would be (I say this because it's politically easier for presidents to offer tax cuts than to cut expenditures), I believe he would better repair our national standing. I also believe that he has the willpower to make the necessary investments to bring us towards energy independence. And underneath it all, Obama inspires me to go out and be a better person. Growing up in my generation, I've heard the typical "Work hard, and you'll be successful" spiel. However we haven't had the same call to arms for the country that past generations of Americans have had. Obama's challenge to my generation and to the nation as a whole to give something back to the country is what originally got me excited about him as a candidate.
