500 miles!!!

ran 4.2 miles
Some polls from Rasmussen Reports:

• Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 26% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 40% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a regressing presidential approval index rating of –14.

• Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of Obama’s performance and 53% disapprove.

• Falling to the lowest levels since Obama took office in January of 2009, only 37% of likely U.S. voters say Barack Obama is doing a good or excellent job as a leader.

• Among likely U.S. voters, 48% back GOP Governor in Wisconsin and 38% support the Unions.

• A large majority of Americans, 67%, say the United States should leave the turmoil in the Arab countries alone.

• Only 26% of Americans believe our nation is heading in the right direction.

• Among likely U.S. voters, 56% favor repeal of the health care law, including 43% who strongly favor repeal.

I ran my five hundredth mile today! I’ve been running against Obama for nearly six months and in that time I have gotten involved with some local political organizations and met some inspiring people. Following current events closely and discussing them with others at local, state and federal levels has been extremely eye opening. I found it nearly effortless to passionately disagree with Barack Obama’s agenda when I began running against him. Having a virtually nonexistent interest in politics until recent years, getting involved and listening to others who have so much more experience and knowledge to offer has been the greatest opportunity of this small campaign to contribute whatever I can to restore America, which starts with making Barack Obama a one-term president.
