-caring for the poor and uninsured,I saw Democrats as the only ones dealing with access to healthcare...
-as the mother and daughter of veterans,I saw Democrats as the only party dealing with treatment of veterans.
-as the daughter,grand-daughter,niece,cousin and sister of many generations of union members,I saw the Democratic Party as the only party who did anything to benefit the working man.
-as a woman,I saw Democrats as the only party dealing with womens rights and choice.
-as a glbt,I saw Democrats as the only party that openly accepted me.
