Check out these amazing photos from the We Are the Ones Project, a "photographic essay documenting the enthusiasm and diversity of Obama supporters across the country."

Rachel Casparian, 29, is one of the leaders of the project. She grew up in Lawrence, KS, Lexington, KY and Florence Italy, holds a BA in Performance Art from Antioch College, and writes that since moving to New York City in 2001, she has worked as a waitress, a barista, a bartender, an office lackey, a personal assistant, a knitwear designer, a nanny, and an actress. Sounds pretty familiar huh?

It's one of those projects, whatever your politics may be, that remind you how beautiful real, passionate people are:

That is beautiful. I can almost see my auntie and grandma (who are both enthusiastic about Obama) in these photos, and it makes me smile.
