4. Time for Change
Some doubted this country’s desire for
change
We have most delegates and diverse
coalition of Americans
You can see it in their faces – young, old,
rich, poor, black, white, latino, native
american, democrat, republican, and others
We are ready to believe again

5. Change isn’t Easy
Fine candidates & competition is fierce
We’re looking to fundamentally change
status quo in Washington
Status quo is fighting back with same tactics
that divide and distract us

6. What we’re up Against
Fine candidates & competition is fierce
We’re looking to fundamentally change status quo in
Washington
Status quo is fighting back with same tactics that divide and
distract us
Lobbyist dominate government
Ability to lead does not come from longevity in Washington
Bitter partisanship where opponents demonize each other
Politics that uses religion as a wedge and patiotism as a
bludgeon

7. What I See
I do not see a white or black South Carolina.
I saw South Carolina
I saw crumbling schools
I saw shuttered mills
We struggle with Washington and with our
own self doubts, fears, and cynicism
Change we seek requires struggle and
sacrifice

stories and voices
A mom who can’t get Medicaid to support her
children
A Teacher who works the night shift at Dunkin
Donuts
A Maytag worker who competes with his teenager
for a $7/hour job
Woman cannot breathe since nephew left for Iraq
