Woman With Down Syndrome Supports Obama; Sad

This is truly disgusting. Both on the part of the woman who is supporting President Obama and that the campaign is willing to use her. Obama and Democrats are so extreme on abortion that they deem an unborn baby with down syndrome to not have a life worthy of living. They would prefer the woman abort her unborn baby if it has down syndrome. So when "Brittany" expresses her support for Obama it is quiet troubling.
Dear President Obama, BrittanyHello! My name is Brittany and I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. I am 25 years old (but I will be 26 on October 3rd!). I am a registered Democrat and I have been voting since I was 18. I am one of the 47% of Americans who fall under Mitt Romney's definition of "entitled" and "unable to take responsibility for my life." I have Down syndrome. I started working part-time in 2004 when I was in high school. I graduated in 2008 and have worked at that job ever since. My employer receives money from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare so that I can work, and the public transportation people receive money from them to take me back and forth to work. My mother applied for Social Security's Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) for me when I was 19. I really want to make lots of money and have a hot tub someday, but SSI subtracts my paychecks from my SSI benefits, so I don’t have much to put into a savings account. I am now working for a store, folding clothes and doing returns. I like my job a lot! I make $4.98 an hour and I am allowed to work 25-30 hours a week (I have paid $542.72 in federal, FICA, state, and city taxes this year as of August 31st). I just got my own apartment and share it with another girl like me. I get to pay rent now ($325 a month) and pay for my telephone and cable because I like the Disney Channel. I was not allowed to take my dog with me, but I can hang all of my Hannah Montana posters on my bedroom wall. My mother still has to help me with my medications and handling my money and stuff. I have also included my picture, not just because I'm cute, but because I wanted to give you a face of one of the 47% to share with Mr. Romney. I wish you would come to Pennsylvania because I would really like to meet you. Please say hello to your wife, Michelle, for me. I wish I could live in the White House, too, and I like your dog, Bo. —Brittany P.S. My mom and her friend helped me write this.
Sad.
