Michelle Obama Hits The Campaign Trail

October 12, 2008

Michelle Obama has been hitting the campaign trail over the past couple weeks to hold community gatherings in towns across the country. This past weekend she spoke to the Women’s Leadership Forum in her home town of Chicago, Illinois. She spoke about the struggles that women and families are dealing with on a daily basis. As a working mom herself, Michelle knows how hard it can be balancing family and work. That’s why she is reaching out women and telling them about Barack’s plan to stand up for women’s rights.

Last week Michelle traveled to Jacksonville, North Carolina to speak with military families. Michelle has been holding roundtables with military wives for the past 20 months. During her time in Jacksonville, Michelle told the crowd about how Barack and Joe will work to provide veteran’s benefits when they come home from tours and to safely get us out of Iraq.

In Saginaw, Michigan Michelle stopped by Heritage High School to encourage students to get involved in the campaign and register to vote. During her time on the campaign trail, Michelle has seen young people getting involved, engaging with others about the issues and volunteering their time to help Barack win on November 4. If students register to vote and cast their ballot on November 4, then they can be the generation who helped to elect a new kind of leader.

Michelle Obama will continue her travels over the next 23 days reaching out to voters young and old who will help make history this November. Watch for her to come to your state.
