The last time Margaret Harris voted was in 1928—and the next time will be on November 6, 2012 for President Barack Obama. Margaret always encouraged her family to be educated citizens—a family that includes about 88 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She's seen a lot of change living through World War II and the civil rights era. Now she's continuing to move forward by making sure President Obama is re-elected while encouraging her family and friends to do the same.

As Margaret shares: "Being honest is the most important thing—treating everybody right. Barack Obama is honest and I love him for it. I appreciate him. I know he's looking out for me."
