“The issue for me is financial aid and not being able to afford school. With Romney’s plan, I feel like he’s going to raise the interest rates on loans which is going to put more people like me out of school. But with Obama, he’s planning to lower the interest loans and I think he’s trying to take away the loan debt after a certain amount of years. I think that’s more fair than Romney’s plan. ”

“The most important thing to me is the economy. Obama is trying to make it more of a centrally planned economy. The way I see it, America was never like that. We haven’t ever been a country that is fully dependent on their government. My vote is going for Romney. Making jobs in a free market where the private sector is in charge of creating jobs is the way you are going to fix this type of economy.”

“Barack Obama doesn’t really suit what I need, because he helps more of the immigrants and not more American people. [Romney is] a good guy, but I just don’t make enough money to vote for what his policies are. With the immigration rate, it’s harder for me to get jobs now because of people coming in and getting jobs, getting welfare, and meanwhile I’m getting pushed back. [Obama] has let a lot of people come in this country illegally and they’re reaping what we should be sowing.”

“I’ve been listening about [women’s rights issues] because I’m a woman, and obviously, I’m planning on getting pregnant at some point. I feel like the commercials are not very truthful to what actually is going on. That’s why I feel like I’m not very well informed.”
