I voted early, and I voted Obama.

1. As a woman who is at the poverty level, I am confident and grateful that Obama supports a woman's right to choose birth control. Also, his unwavering support for Planned Parenthood hits home; I'm a regular patient at one of their clinics.
2. As a recent college graduate, I know Obama has my back. Were it not for his reform on student loans and increase on the Pell Grant amount, I literally wouldn't have been able to finish college. Thanks to him, I am the first person in my family to have a Bachelor's.
3. The animation job market is tough right now. Obama has made assistance to low-income people easier and more available. I now work as a cashier at a supermarket, but still have to pay monthly on my college loans. Food stamps will allow me to keep a roof over my head and prevent me from defaulting on my loans, and I'll still be able to eat.
4. I am a staunch environmentalist. Obama has done more for solar energy and the electric car industry than any President I've seen. He's vowed to keep and preserve America's last great natural places and wilderness. Our national parks will remain in good hands. Our pollution has decreased dramatically, thanks to his stricter standards and policies on clean air and water. I want a world where my future children will know what a forest looks like. Where they can live without pollution-induced illness. We are a part of nature. Without nature, we're dead.
