Hillary Clinton for President

If you live in Vermont, Texas, Ohio, or Rhode Island, I'm sure you've been inundated by proponents for all the candidates in today's primary. In general, I like to leave people alone when it comes to their voting decisions, but I feel so strongly about today's potential result, that I wanted to take a moment and express my sincerest hope that you and (and everyone else you know in these states) will vote for Hillary Clinton today.

I voted for Hillary because when I told my grandfather that I'd gotten into my first choice law school a few years ago, he said, "Women should be teachers." And when my mother wanted to be an engineer, my grandfather told her, "Women should be teachers. " I want my grandfather to see a woman President in his lifetime. I want my four-year-old niece to see one, too. I want them both to know that women can be teachers, if they want, but that they can also get law degrees and become world leaders.

There are a hundred other reasons why I believe Hillary Clinton is the best choice for the Democratic nomination, but rather than subject you to such a long list, I'll just say I think she will serve our country well.

I love going to the polls and I hope you'll enjoy your trip there today as much as I enjoyed mine on Super Tuesday.
