One of the Million: Margery Kay from Nevada

February 22nd, 2008 in Barack Obama

We are moving towards our goal of 1,000,000 donors with remarkable speed. As of this blog posting, over 953,000 of you have already donated.

Margery Kay of Pahrump, Nevada, is one of the million. When a host of candidates from both parties visited her town in January, she says Barack "was the only one I saw who openly answered everyone’s questions."

She’s deeply concerned about restoring habeus corpus and protecting the civil liberties that so many Americans cherish — and she thinks Barack can reverse a lot of the damage Bush has done in these areas.

She’s also hungry for change on health care and she thinks Obama can make health care affordable for all Americans. "I’m diabetic and have been since I was 9. I’m 49 now and I pay 500 a month for a pre-existing condition. That shouldn’t be happening in this country," says Margery Kay.

Magery Kay follows the election closely and she’s read all 64 pages of the Blueprint for Change policy handbook. "Every last thing in that Blueprint for Change I wish could be made into law. This is how I really feel."

ABC News reported that a pro-Clinton group called the "American Leadership Project" is seeking 100 Clinton supporters to each give $100,000 to fund its $10 million effort to promote Senator Clinton and "contrast" her positions with Barack Obama’s.

We don’t think that’s how politics should work. We think politics should be powered by all of us, not a small group of wealthy elites. That’s why we’re asking you to join this movement and help us reach our goal of one million donors. If we hit this goal, it will send a powerful signal that the old politics, dominated by big money and special interests, are coming to an end.

Will you join Margery and become one of the million?
