I’m voting for Hillary Clinton because she’s a true public servant. She’s dedicated her entire life to the complicated, difficult process of making our future better. Trump, on the other hand, is infatuated with seeing the word “President” before his name. That’s all. That’s it. More power. More ego. Having harnessed the grief and anger of many hard-working Americans, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing: he cares nothing about serving The People. Hillary has the heart and the mind we need in 2017 and beyond.

I’m voting for Hillary because I believe experience QUALIFIES a person for a job. I want a president who knows how Washington works, who knows the international situation, whose response to issues is thoughtful, measured, and grounded. Would you choose a businessman for a doctor to avoid someone with experience? Would you reject a doctor because s/he went to an elite medical school? Of course not. You want someone who draws on a wealth of applied knowledge, who believes in equal rights for everyone, and who listens respectfully to all concerns. The choice could not be clearer. Vote for Hillary!

Hillary Clinton has devoted her life to work for others. Brilliant, caring, knowledgeable, experienced responsible, indefatigable, capable of responding adequately to pressure, respected internationally, absolutely qualified to be an outstanding president, and as such a role model to children and young people in this country and around the world. That is why I am voting for Hillary Clinton.

I'm voting for Hillary because I'm the son of an immigrant and I've worked with immigrant kids for a quarter-century. I know the value immigrants bring to our country. I'm voting for Hillary because our president simply must be someone who respects women and unconditionally stands for equality. I'm voting for Hillary because of vets with PTSD, minimum-wage earning workers, kids trying to get through college, and disabled Americans.
