Read the Book: "Stronger Together" To find out where Clinton/Kaine stands on issues

Let's face it, many people don't take the time to go to a political candidate's website and find out
everything they stand for. Instead, some Americans vote off of sound bites or who has the better commercials. Some even vote for someone based on how much they can bash the other candidate or bully someone without revealing what they even stand for.
  In this election, we can't afford to be clueless. READ. LEARN. DISCOVER what each candidate stands for. 
  The Clinton/Kaine campaign just published a BOOK addressing where they stand on issues. It's called "Stronger Together" and just came out Sept. 6th.  If you're UNDECIDED, or support Mrs. Clinton or even Mr. Trump, READ IT.  Make an EDUCATED decision. 
Don't vote one way or the other because "your daddy voted that way."  I (Rob) know someone who voted one way because "his daddy does" even though he was against 90% of the policies. Ridiculous. Read, learn and choose what is good for YOU.

   The U.S.A. has always been "Stronger Together"  .

AS FOR WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT: For more than a year, Hillary Clinton has laid out an ambitious agenda to improve the lives of the American people and make our country stronger and safer. Stronger Together presents that agenda in full, relating stories from the American people and outlining the Clinton/Kaine campaign’s plans on everything from apprenticeships to the Zika virus, including:

  1. -Building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top.
  2. -Making the biggest investment in good-paying jobs since World War II, including infrastructure, manufacturing, clean energy, and small business.
  3. -Making debt-free college a reality and tackling the student debt crisis.
  4. -Defeating ISIS, strengthening our alliances, and keeping our military strong.
  5. -Breaking down the barriers that hold Americans back by reforming our broken immigration system, ending mass incarceration, protecting voting rights, and fixing our campaign finance system.
  6. -Putting families first through universal, affordable health care; paid family and medical leave, and affordable child care.
  7. Stronger Together offers specific solutions and a bold vision for building a more perfect union

Video: 9/11 survivor Lauren Manning: Clinton stood with me through the darkest days



Here's another short video that will give you a different perspective - it shows someone that REALLY cares.  

9/11 survivor Lauren Manning: Clinton stood with me through the darkest days


 
Lauren was a former executive and partner at Cantor Fitzgerald. She is one of the most catastrophically wounded survivors of 9/11. Lauren battled single digit odds of survival, spending more than six months in the hospital and fought recovering through the next decade from an 82.5% total body burn. Lauren asked then Senator Hillary Clinton to support the injured and she has remained unflagging in her commitment and dedication.

Factcheck.org: All Claims Trump has against Clinton Proven False


It's important to get to the FACTS. Donald Trump seems to be great at accusing everyone of being "the worst"
and "most horrible" people. Fortunately, there are organizations that check facts.
  On June 23,Fact check.org revealed all claims made by Trump are false in his Attack on Clinton’s Character. Read the whole article  here http://a.msn.com/r/2/AAhuEB2?a=1&m=EN-US.
 

Summary

Donald Trump’s once delayed, and much anticipated, speech on Hillary Clinton’s character, included numerous false and misleading statements:
  • Trump falsely claimed that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens “was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed.” Two emails from Clinton show that she was awake after it was learned that Stevens had died in the attack on the diplomatic facility in Benghazi.
  • Trump misleadingly claimed that Clinton “accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei when she was secretary of state.” He didn’t mention that the gift was accepted on behalf of the United States, and that it was transferred to the General Services Administration.
  • Trump claimed without any evidence that Clinton “wants to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to settle Middle Eastern refugees in the United States.” The numbers don’t add up. The total refugee budget was $1.67 billion in fiscal 2016, so it is unlikely that Clinton could add “hundreds of billions” to the budget for refugee assistance.
  • Trump overstated his case when he claimed the U.S. “trade deficit with China soared 40 percent during Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state.” It went up 17 percent, and we note that trade is under the purview of the Commerce Department, not the State Department.
  • Trump blamed Clinton for the “disastrous strategy of announcing our departure from Iraq, handing large parts of the country over to ISIS and the ISIS killers.” The departure date was set by President George W. Bush. President Obama made the ultimate call to keep the scheduled departure date, not Clinton.
  • Trump falsely claimed that Clinton would “end virtually all immigration enforcement and thus create totally open borders for the United States.” Clinton supported a Senate immigration bill that would create a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally, but it also would have included large investments in border security.
  • Trump falsely claimed that the private server that Clinton used as secretary of state “was easily hacked by foreign governments.” Attempts were made to hack into Clinton’s server, but the identity of the hackers has not been determined and there has been no evidence to date that any of them were successful.
  • Trump falsely claimed that “Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia.” The transfer was approved by a committee headed by the Treasury Department and made up of nine voting members throughout government, including one from the State Department.
  • Trump claimed he was opposed to the Iraq war “before the war ever started.” There is no evidence of that.
  • Trump wrongly said that “real wages for our workers have not been raised for 18 years.” Average weekly earnings for production and non-supervisory employees are up 10 percent, adjusted for inflation and seasonal factors, over that time period.
  • Trump described the North American Free Trade Agreement as “Bill Clinton’s disastrous and totally disastrous NAFTA.” President Clinton signed the legislation to implement NAFTA, but the agreement itself was negotiated and signed by President George H. W. Bush.

MUST WATCH Speech after the FL tragedy: Hillary in Cleveland (6-13-16)

Whether you like her or not - WATCH and LISTEN. See how a president should act. It's not often that a speech of 30 minutes will give me chills and make me so incredibly proud to support a candidate - but when I listened to Secretary Clinton's speech she gave in Ohio on Monday, it did just that. I brought tears to my eyes that she understands, she cares, she has plans to help (unlike her opponent who just wants to arm everyone).
  This woman must be our next president. She's intelligent, thoughtful, respectful of everyone's backgrounds, lives, race, religion or non-religion, sexuality, social status.

Speaking in Cleveland Monday, Hillary Clinton said the shooting early Sunday morning in Orlando was "mind-numbingly familiar." Clinton honored the victims and the first responders over the course of her speech.
