What a fighter

Hillary Clinton, a true fighter - for us all. When everyone was writing her off, she didn't give up. When people said she should quit, she kept going. While people said she's divisive, she brought people together. When people said she isn't inspiring, she inspired us all to fight for what's right, to fight for the working class, to fight for those of us struggling everyday and those of us who have been ignored for so long. Don't we all want someone like that to be our leader?

The latte drinking folks may think they're smarter or better than us, but we are the people that built this country and helped the latte folks afford their expensive lifestyles. It's time that the latte drinking posse listened to the people here on planet earth. Us dunkin' donuts coffee drinkers are too busy to listen to the long, boring rhetoric. We are too busy to hear ideas without plans, talk without solutions, lofty goals without real strategies. We want in and out service. We want change alright, but we want someone with the capacity to deliver.

And as a single mom, who pays for her own health insurance, I want someone that has a proven record of fighting for me and my daughter, because they know what it feels like to engage in the daily fight and the challenges we face. Yes, new may seem brighter, but I am loyal to those that have always been there for me, still standing there for me, and will go toe to toe for me.

So thank you, Hillary, for being that fighter we need. I've never walked away from fighting for what's right and I know you won't either.
