Go Hillary!



I am so excited about the primary tomorrow. I love the fact that so many people seem passionate about the candidates! On Friday my parents and I went to the polls for early voting. I have never seen my parents get this much into politics. I mean, they have always voted, just the passion behind the vote is different this time. Then we continued our journey to Waco to support Hillary at a rally. It was fantastic seeing people right here in Central Texas sharing the same views. A lot of times I feel I can't even speak about politics in this area without worrying that there will be a burning cross in my yard by nightfall. Her message was very powerful about her plan for getting our troops out of Iraq and taking care of them once they are home. She also shared her plan on taking care of our veterans. It was very moving and actually got a tear out of my mom. She continued on to talk about healthcare and the economy and received ample applause for both. After her 40 minute presentation, she came down and took a moment with each person pushed against the barrier. It was amazing seeing her up close. She really looks amazing for 60!! My mother got her attention when she called out that her daughter was serving in Iraq. She came over and took a moment with her and signed her campaign button. All and all it was a very powerful and moving experience. We will see what happens after tomorrow. Either way, I feel good about the candidates on our side of the fence.
