Waiting for Barack in Great Falls

Barack is due to start speaking in about an hour at the Four Seasons Arena at Montana ExpoPark in Great Falls, and the crowd has been lining up for hours in order to get in!

I spoke with Donna and Linda, both of whom live in Denton, Montana. This is the first time that they will be hearing Barack speak in person, and even though doors didn’t open until 4:00 p.m., they arrived at the Expo Center by 2:30 p.m.

Linda, an English and drama teacher, likes Barack’s education plan and how he wants to make college affordable for all Americans.   She says that Barack is intelligent, and likes how "he’s not connected with lobbyists."  She says:

He’s got excellent ideas.  I like how he expects us to work together…he’ll be the people’s President.

Donna, a nurse, says healthcare is an important issue to her, and she likes how "Barack can relate to our area.  He gets the heartland and the west. He’s worked in all levels of society."

Linda voted by absentee ballot for Barack, and Donna will be voting for Barack on Tuesday.  Find your polling location, and make your voice heard on Tuesday, June 3!
