Countdown to Change: Pennsylvania Volunteers


By Greg Hauenstein - Apr 18th, 2008 at 4:12 pm EDT

Stephanie moved to Pittsburgh over twenty years ago. It only took one visit to the city for her to fall in love with it and its neighborhoods.

To call Stephanie an active supporter of Senator Obama would be an understatement. As early as December 2007 she was meeting with fellow supporters in Western Pennsylvania to organize the petition drive to get Senator Obama on the ballot for Pennsylvania's primary, and by the time the first staffers showed up, there was already a team of volunteers waiting in Stephanie's living room for the first organizational meetings.

Her biggest problem with the way Washington has been working is the lack of respect for those with differing opinions. She feels that once an honest dialogue between opinions begins, "those differences are going to make us stronger...they're going to cause us to evaluate each others positions and come up with a solution that is stronger." The main reason she supports Senator Obama is his track record of finding the common ground with people who have differing opinions.
