Hello and welcome to America revisited the discussion. I'm Philipp Philip Thomas. Over the last few weeks we've

been on a road trip airing the voices of Americans, not the politicians, regular

people across the United States. They've told us how their lives have changed or

been challenged during the eight years that Barack Obama has been president.

We've heard from people who lost their homes, who became addicted to opiates after needing painkillers.

Black Americans who've told us day-to-day life means being targeted by the police.

Also Americans celebrating gay marriage and others who say they've been saved by getting

access to health services under Obamacare.

If you didn't get a chance to hear their stories in depth, we'll tell you how at the end of the show.

But in this program we're gathering together five of the voices from America revisited.

People who gave us their time and their trust opening up with their personal stories.

What's at stake for them in the election next month, that vote that will decide who succeeds Barack Obama.

Let's meet our Americans.

On the line from the west is Mark Peeveler in Las Vegas.

Mark, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Well, I'm a real estate agent out here. I've been out here since 1983. I was

raised in Hawaii. I've been in the military. Having a great time out here in sunny Las Vegas.

I'm jealous.

Then Buka Okoye from the southern state of Mississippi.

Buka would you introduce yourself to our listeners?

Yeah, I'm Boca O'Koye. Buka, would you introduce yourself to our listeners?

Yeah, I'm Buka Koy a student at the University of Mississippi.
