Every Vote Counts

Oct 25, 2012 at 6:00am by Jennifer Lopez

LOVE!ERS

Whatever happens in my life, it's always the women around me who help me get through it — my mom, sisters, cousins, friends, and my daughter, Emme. They inspire me and they've made me who I am today.

Thanks to President Obama, the women in my life, and women across the country, have seen true progress. We will get access to the affordable quality health care we deserve because of Obamacare. Girls can see three women on the Supreme Court and look up to them as role models. Women have greater ability to fight back when they don't get equal pay for equal work.

Having a president who is a strong advocate for women means a lot to me. And I'm not alone — take a look at this video and see what I mean:


Growing up, my family didn't always have a lot — plenty of people told me a girl from the Bronx could never make it. But my mom was a teacher who worked hard to send me and my sisters to school, and I refused to give up on my dreams.

That's President Obama's story, too. He didn't have anything handed to him.

So when he talks about giving everyone a chance to succeed, no matter where you started out, it's because he knows what it's like for families who are struggling to make ends meet and make a better life for their kids.

President Obama has got our backs. We've got to get his.

Watch this video, then pass it along. It's up to us to make sure every woman makes her voice heard in this election.

Thanks,
Jennifer

      Parmi les raisons les plus importantes pour la réussite d'Obama à l'avenir, il se soucie des pauvres et l'âge Akabarvy hommes et sous réserve des droits des femmes et dans le pays de l'Amérique Merci Jennifer Lopez pour aider Obama à atteindre son but historique américaine à remporter dirigé pour la deuxième phase qu'il voulait le départ des Américains

      If I was from America I'd vote Obama all the way. For my generation (he was inaugurated on my 22nd birthday), I stayed up all night watching him win the election, I cried when he made his win speech and then his Inauguration speech. This man is an inspiration, he is the JFK of my generation.
      Albeit I don't live in America and so I don't see the day to day struggles but that makes me unbiased and therefore I can honestly say, he seems trustworthy and unlike any other politician!
      I come from the UK, women have rights over here, we have had a female Prime Minister, I know what its like to get equal pay, I know what its like to have quality parenthood assistance, I know what its like to be given the right to any job that a man has a right to and I know what its like to wake up and feel empowered and equal each morning.
      Most of all, I've known what it is like all my life to have the truly wonderful NHS. I know Obamacare has its flaws but its closer to the NHS than you've had before. I know you hear the manipulated spiel about the NHS being our burden, it is NOT and it IS the best thing introduced to the UK since tea, so I can speak from experience and say that being able to tell the pharmaceutical companies to take a jump and know that I will only have to pay my National Insurance Contributions within my wage and I am covered for my health, it is a beautiful thing. Obamacare is a step in that direction!
      I just wish we had a politician like Obama, one who truly believes in what he is doing, one who cares and one who the rest of the world wishes belonged to them....don't forget that and good luck! :).

      I saw the debates and it would be the best thing for America that President Obama will be elected. I don't lie Romney at all. I am not American but the result will be important for all of us. Thank you so much Jennifer!

      Jennifer, I prefer Obama EXCEPT healthcare plan. I have kids with medical issues, fall into category he considers wealthy but with 3 kids where I live we barely pay our bills, yet we don't even get the child credit. Now more $$ out of paychecks to pay other people's medical, when I owe thousands for my daughters epilepsy. No, he is not for women or the people, you don't see regular people daily, I'm your fan, but sometimes you are disconnected from real people with life issues.

      I'm a Puerto Rican also from the Bronx. Have always been a big fan and proud for all you've accomplished, but Obama is where we differ. What he has done to our economy and our country shows how unprepared for the job he is!!

      Finally, I come to your concert. I do not know where to go. I do not know when you come to Hamburg, when the Rotterdam and Oberhausen? Where will you be long from 1/10/12 I have to be in Poland. These three cities are the last chance for me, you see. I hope this time I can. Power hot greetings. Slawek
