The election is 9 days away. We are encouraging voters to vote early.
We had types of reactions from the calls for early voting. Our calls to Iowa voters varies from not answering to strong support for Obama. "He's got my vote", said Peter. "I am voting for Obama," Gary said, adding "but I am afraid Republicans get in this time". "I will vote for Obama," said M. "All of us will be voting for Obama," said Kelly. "Yes, we know our voting place," said Gary. "We are voting for Obama" she said. "We are supporting Obama," said Carol. "We support Obama, and we sure will vote" D. said. "Early voting? I will if I get the chance," Robert said. He will be voting for Obama. "He is not home," she said, "but we are voting for Obama" and assured me that they know where their voting place is. "Obama", Roberta said in answering the question who she support for President. She promised to vote on the election day.
There are resentments against "the rich get richer, the poor get poorer" situation indeed when GOP candidates are so keen on trying to prevent taxes on the riches. They hardly ever said anything else. Romney has assets in seven other countries. His 47% comments on what he calls "the takers" had induced a lot of tweeter account names with the number 47. Their privatization plans of the healthcare system and the 'voucher plans' had scared the voters as well.
A good thing is that I got support for saying NO to violence against women. Desiree said she support the women's rights to choose in cases of violence that the senatorial candidate Richard Mourdock referred to.
Both Obama and Romney camps are encouraging for early voting. Let us hope a good turnout before the election.
