Democratic National Convention

Remarks as Prepared for Delivery
I'm Monica Early from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Last January, someone sent me
an e-mail containing so-called "facts" about Senator Obama. The e-mail painted
a scary picture, questioning his faith and patriotism. I decided to do some
fact-checking on my own and learned the truth.
What I discovered is that Barack Obama is a man of faith, a man of values
and a man of action -- someone who has shown his love for America by fighting
for our people, helping communities left behind on Chicago's South Side,
fighting today for working families and the tax breaks we need to purchase a
home, pay for college and save for retirement.
I am grateful for the e-mail that tried to scare me. It brought me here,
an ordinary citizen, empowered by a leader who told me I could make a
difference. Ohio is home to four of the fastest-dying cities in America. John
McCain promises to continue the Bush economic policies that got us there.
Einstein said a definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and
over again expecting a different result. If we elect John McCain, then,
according to Einstein, we surely would be insane.
We need change. We need President Barack Obama!
