Here in Pittsburgh, roughly 5,000 attended a march this past weekend in support of Iraq Veterans Against the War. It was a spirited rally -- and I know we can turn out many, many more folks at the March for Obama on Sunday, April 20th. The March is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who support Hillary or are uncommitted. Let them feel the energy and hear what we have to say. It could be the change they've been waiting for!

Something else to consider: if every person attending the March brought one friend or family member over 60 years of age, it could make a HUGE difference. This is the group (especially here in PA) that most needs to hear the REAL Obama story, not the dumbed-down, distorted version promoted by various members of the right-wing media and Clinton's inner circle...and then there's the fear-mongering, as epitomized by the ad about the 3 a.m. phone call. The candidate of HOPE has no reason to FEAR a ringing phone day or night, and that's a good thing for people of all ages to know.

I recently learned that Pennsylvania has the third largest percentage of residents over 65 years of age, after Florida and West Virginia. I'm okay with multi-generational living and feel it's my duty to give senior citizens good information on a variety of issues, everything from where to find the best price on milk to who would make a good President. I call that multi-generational winning. It's sad to see Obama's opponents working hard to accomplish the exact opposite.
