QUIET STORMS: "If there’s a woman out there without healthcare, that’s my sister"Thats our President
I know that there’s some folks that are going through their own quiet storms.

All across America there are quiet storms taking place. There are lives of quiet desperation. People who need just a little bit of help.

Because if there’s a poor child out there, that’s my child. If there’s a senior that’s having trouble, that’s my grandparent. If there’s a guy who’s lost his job, that’s my brother. If there’s a woman out there without healthcare, that’s my sister. Those are the values that built this country. Those are the values we are fighting for.

3. K&R to each of them.
IMO, this is the MOST IMPORTANT thing.
Thanks for the posts.

6. You are so right
what this is all about at the end of the day is that some people will end up homeless, die too young from easily treated illnesses, allow corporations to continue their criminal ways and worse.
That is why the closeness of the race is so frightening.

4. K&R
The candidate who lives these values, that's my role model and my President.
