President: Barack Obama
Instead of talking about change we can believe in, Barack Obama might be better suited calling it change we must believe in. And Sen. Obama is the man to make this change happen. His campaign for president has been one of the most inspiring runs on the national political stage in quite some time.  Under his administration, we will see a strategy geared toward large scale withdrawal from Iraq, a better health care system, investment in alternate modes of energy, and policies that will stimulate our struggling economy.
    In Obama, we have a leader with the energy and intelligence that our country desperately needs right now. We cannot stand idly by and wait for our country to fix itself. We need a change, and Obama represents a change we must believe in.

Senator: Mitch McConnell
In looking at Mitch McConnell’s career, a vote for him is not just a trip into the election booth, but an investment in your future, whether you are a U of L student or a Louisville citizen.
    McConnell has remained a strong advocate for higher education throughout his career, focusing particularly on contributions to U of L. He founded the McConnell Center in 1991 which gives Kentucky students a chance to study at the university through its scholarship program.
    As a senator, he boasts a long, impressive record, having held such posts as Senate Minority Leader, Republican Leader in the 110th congress, and Majority Whip in the 108th and 109th congresses. In 2005, he became the longest serving senator in Kentucky history.

Congressman: John Yarmuth
It is clear that in John Yarmuth, we have a friend. In examining his voting record, one can see a commitment to funding alternate modes of energy such as biofuel as well as heavier regulation on oil companies in order to keep costs low.
   Yarmuth has also shown himself to be a great advocate for higher education funding. As a member of the Committee on Education and Labor, he has passed legislation that will make it easier for students to afford a college education, such as the Higher Education Opportunity Act which was signed into law in August of this year. He also supported the College Cost Reduction and Access Act in 2007, which some have called the single greatest boost in college aid since the GI bill.
