    “I spent most of my adult life in the age of Reaganomics, and I can tell you: It just doesn’t work. The 2008 crash was a clear illustration of the bitter fruit of that sort of economic philosophy. And now, Mitt Romney not only wants to do it all over again, but he actually wants to ramp up the sort of deregulation, draconian social welfare cuts, and outsourcing that we saw under Reagan and Bush. What stands out about President Obama is that he is intensely aware of the degree to which those sorts of Republican economic policies devastated the middle class, and he is intent on taking a different path.”

    —David, a pastor from Pennsylvania

    “My mother-in-law had a near-fatal heart condition that she couldn’t get treated for a long time because she lacked basic health insurance. She had been a Republican all her life, but decided to switch and support President Obama after he passed the Affordable Care Act. I shudder at the thought of Mitt Romney winning and sending us back four years to a time when people like my mother-in-law were left unprotected.”

    —Russell, a web developer from Pennsylvania

    David, Russell, and 2.7 million others have donated to the campaign because they want to keep moving forward—will you join them?
