Paul Ryan at Miami University

After waiting in the beating sun for a little over 3 hours, an anxious crowd of 5,500 got to hear Congressman Paul Ryan speak. In the preceding speakers, Governor John Kasich and Senator Rob Portman reminded the young voters that tomorrow morning, half of our generation will wake up either unemployed or underemployed. That's not what this 21st Century Republican wants to hear. Imagine, if you will, how concerning this is to my generation. We invest in our education by going to college (or trade school), we work hard, we outperform our peers so that we can get ahead. And for what, you ask? So that we can make a living for ourselves and maybe, just maybe make a better life for ourselves than our parents had. But in President Obama's failed economy, all our hard work and determination goes for not as we can't get quality jobs and are forced to move back in with our parents. That's why I'm so passionate over this election. Congressman Ryan declared that this election is a debate about two visions for the future of our great nation, not a contest to see who is the "cool kid". With unemployment at over 8% for the 42nd straight month, it's time to hold President Obama to his promise that if he couldn't turn around the economy, his Presidency should be a "one term proposition". I'm voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket because I believe that they have the plan that will once again allow us to Believe in America, to believe that with hard work and dedication, we too can achieve the American dream. That's why I'm voting for America's Comeback Team.
