Anyone else here do phone banking?

6. I do.

Last week one of the people I reached was a 91 year old woman. She was very sharp and immediately volunteered that she loves Hillary. We chatted a bit and she explained that she is living in a swing-bed unit and unable to get to the caucus. She is very pissed that there is no absentee provision for the caucus.

She spoke a bit about her faith and why she hopes it will get her through to November so she can vote in the general. Our conversation was coming to an end and realizing how important her faith is to her (I am agnostic btw) I mentioned Hillary's motto "Do as much as you can..." and she finished "for as many as you can for as long as you can".

She then told me that if I see Hillary please tell her that Clara B_____ loves her and will try to be there for her in November and beyond.

It took a minute before I could make the next call as I reflected on the changes Clara has experienced over her life and her enduring good spirit.

I live in a medium size town and I asked a few people if they know her and it turns out she used to own a flower shop. How perfect. It fits her.
