Even if you're not voting for her and we can't imagine why :) - Here are some photos Tom and I took at Hillary Clinton's Town Hall Meeting in Bowie, Md this past Sunday, Feb. 10th.
It was incredible. Of course, we loved seeing Martin O'Malley, too - (he's hunky).
Oh yeah, Hillary has a number of great ideas. We heard very well thought out ideas on making afforable college tuition (like bringing back federal school loans like Tom and I had; putting these private loan companies charging up to 29%! out of business; giving tax credits; ), the economy, a careful withdrawal out of Iraq, much needed universal healthcare, social issues and more.
The Republican plan for health care is "let people decide which insurance company to go with." DUH- that doesn't work now! As a result, 20% of people making 75K don't have health care- so who pays their bills? Tax Payers. The other benefit is that hospitals like the local Md. Prince George's Cty Hospital wouldn't be in financial ruin (verge of closing a 3rd time) because they treat drug overdoses, gun shot victims, impovershed people, etc. who have NO health care.
Overall, the town hall was VERY moving. I got choked up twice.
We met people from all backgrounds in the crowd - from physicians to truck drivers, and all were as energized as we were.
This session was not a big "Cheering / Old Time Revival-like session" like the other candidate, whom I also like, but doesn't ever seem to offer the amount of Substance as Ms. Clinton. Make an informed decision.
