Ready to Go

On Saturday, President Obama spoke before an enthusiastic crowd of 14,000 at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University.  The crowd was made up of students, women, men, and volunteers from across Ohio. Also accompanying the President on the trip was Mrs. Michelle Obama.  The President addressed the large rally and reiterated his support for ---- lower interest rates for college students, the rights of women to make their own decisions about their own bodies, and the importance of an education. 

Other well-known Ohio Democrats at the rally included Sen. Sherrod Brown, former Gov. Ted Strickland, and former Senator and astronaut, John Glenn. Everyone left the rally pumped up and ready to work for President Obama's re-election.

Young people today are actively involved in politics and issues.  They are aware of which candidates that they can trust, and those giving them baloney (like Romney and Mandel).  Parents and students alike know which candidates support the draconian Paul Ryan plan, and those that are against it.

The Lantern:

....President of OSU College Democrats, Mallory Kimble, said students should be weary of Romney’s position on student loans.

“Especially in light of his support of the Ryan Budget, which would make it significantly harder for young Americans to afford college,” Kimble said. “The plan cuts funding for Pell Grants and education funding that makes it easier for millions of young Americans to attend college.”

The budget, proposed by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, is a plan crafted to reduce debt without placing additional tax burdens on individuals and businesses....

College loans and Pell grants allow students to go to college.  Cutting them would be damaging to students, families, and the nation.
