One of the Million: Ryan in Kentucky
Ryan from Bowling Green, Kentucky is one of the million.
Ryan, who is currently working as a cashier and will soon begin a two-year stint in the Peace Corps, donated $5 and now owns a piece of this campaign.
"I decided to donate because this is the first time I was inspired by a candidate. I think he’s someone who would really do things different," says Ryan.
The main thing that drew Ryan to this campaign was Barack’s early opposition to the war.
"I was against the war from the beginning. I felt that it was going to draw our attention away from Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda actually was, and I thought it would hurt our standing in the world," says Ryan. "Obama’s stand inspired me."
Check out Barack’s 2002 speech against the Iraq war here. And if you’re inspired like Ryan is, donate what you can — even if it’s just $5 — and become one of the million.
We can change our country — and our politics — with your help.
