This morning, over 1,000 women of all ages gathered together for a Women For Obama rally in Glenside, Pennsylvania before hitting the streets to canvass for Barack.

The attendees were excited to hear Caroline Kennedy speak about why she is voting for Barack. Caroline said:

I keep being told that women are going to decide this election, and how great is that? But, we know that women decide all elections. And Barack Obama is the leader for us, and this time.

Aren’t we lucky that somebody has come along that can take this moment, and our history, to the place it needs to go? It is rare to find a leader who can inspire us and make us believe that together we really can do great things. Inspiration is so important –it can transform this country. When each of us takes an action that is courageous it gives strength to those around us to face the next challenge and those acts can change history. And that is the chance that we have with Barack Obama. And it is our responsibility to put everything aside to help him fight for all of us.

We need a president who will fight for civil rights, education, and hold himself to the highest ethical standards. It’s up to each of us to create a government that is close to our heart's desire, because if we don’t do it, somebody else will. It is up to us to take this moment back – to take this country back – to create a government that our hearts desire. It’s coming down to Pennsylvania and you are going to make a difference. Let’s make history in Pennsylvania.

Maria from Upper Dublin was excited to see Caroline Kennedy this morning. Her support for Barack convinced her husband to change his lifelong Republican status and register as a Democrat to vote for Barack. She likes Barack's view on the war in Iraq, and how he brings everyone into the political process. After the rally, Maria went home to call undecided voters in Pennsylvania.

Christine of Ambler believes that the past 30 years of American government has gone backwards and that Barack can bring us into the future. She is supporting Barack because she says “the issues that affect women are the same issues that affect everyone: the environment, the war in Iraq, family values, energy and the economy.” Christine was one of the many women who went canvassing after being fired up at the rally.
