Hillary Clinton: Why you should vote for me

In January, America is going to have a new president. Things are going to change — that much is certain. The question is, what kind of change are we going to have?

We can build an economy that works for everyone, or stack the deck even more for those at the top.

We can keep America safe through strength and smarts — or turn our backs on our allies, and cozy up to our adversaries.

We can come together to build a stronger, fairer America, or fear the future and fear each other.

Everything I’ve done, as first lady, senator, or secretary of State, I’ve done by listening to people and looking for common ground, even with people who disagree with me. And if you elect me on Tuesday, that’s the kind of president I’ll be.

Here are four priorities for my first 100 days — issues I’ve heard about from Americans all over our country.

First, we will put forward the biggest investment in new jobs since World War II. We’ll invest in infrastructure and manufacturing to grow our economy for years to come. We’ll produce enough renewable energy to power every home in America within a decade. We’ll cut red tape for small businesses and make it easier for entrepreneurs to get the credit they need to grow and hire — because in America, if you can dream it, you should be able to build it. We’ll pay for it all by asking the wealthy, Wall Street and big corporations to finally pay their fair share. And this commitment will go far beyond the first 100 days. Creating more good jobs with rising incomes will be a central mission of my presidency.

Second, we will introduce comprehensive immigration reform legislation. The last president to sign comprehensive immigration reform was Ronald Reagan, and it was a priority for George W. Bush. I’m confident that we can work across the aisle to pass comprehensive reform that keeps families together and creates a path to citizenship, secures our border, and focuses our enforcement resources on violent criminals. This is the right thing to do, and it will also grow our economy.

Third, to break the gridlock in Washington, we need to get secret, unaccountable money out of our politics. It’s drowning out the voices of the American people. So within my first 30 days, I will introduce a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We should be protecting citizens’ rights to vote, not corporations’ rights to buy elections.

Fourth, we need to get started on end-to-end criminal justice reform. Too many people have been sent away for far too long for non-violent offenses. I believe our country will be stronger and safer when everyone has respect for the law and everyone is respected by the law.

There’s so much more we need to do together, and we certainly won’t get it all done in the first 100 days. But we’re going to roll up our sleeves and get to work for American families — and I’ll never, ever quit.

I want to be president for all Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents; Americans of every race, faith and background.

My opponent has run his campaign on divisiveness, fear and insults, and spent months pitting Americans against each other. I’ve said many times that Donald Trump has shown us who he is. Now we have to decide who we are.

Because it’s not just our names on the ballot this year. Every issue we care about is on the ballot, too. This is about who we are as a country — and whether we are going to have change that makes us stronger together, or change that pushes us further apart.

It all comes down to this. I love our country. I believe in our people. And I think there’s nothing we can’t achieve if we work together and invest in each other.

Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee for president.

Thought it should be posted considering the Trump version has a thread. You can find that here.

I like how Trump's letter is almost entirely about how terrible Hillary is, so vote Trump. Meanwhile, Hillary barely even mentions his candy ass.

So what are the chances of overturning Citizen's United even happening?

Honestly most of this shit doesn't seem like it'll pan out. She's got my vote but I'm not expecting the status quo to change too much.

She got my vote in Tennessee. It won't help much, but I'll be in that popular vote count.

Hoping for an incredible mandate. Obliterate this clown.

Constitutional amendment is unlikely but a padded SCOTUS could get it done.

You already got my vote. You weren't my first pick(Bernie), but considering the alternative it must be you. The thought of Trump appointing supreme court judges makes me sick to my stomach.

I love her policies. Meaningful, understandable, and tangible. Looking forward to see how much she actually accomplishes in her first 100 days.

Not expecting much to happen under a Clinton presidency, as a member of the third-way Democrat movement I expect the Democratic party to move ever so slightly to the right/stay in the middle while the GOP reaches new realms of the right yet to be seen in America. Hopefully at the very least, the left can mobilize and we can get a truly progressive candidate 4/8 years for now. This election in the end comes down to a single question, beyond partisan politics and beliefs, it is this: are you a rational person, and god willing the majority of Americans will see the light. Luckily, that seems to be the case.

FUCK Citizens United and I can't wait to see her immigration reforms. Finish it Hillary, show people around the world that we're not all hate-filled troglodytes.

I don't like how she paints Russia as an adversary. Now, Putin is far from a nice, fair leader but how does it make for a healthy foreign relationship when your default position is, that's the enemy! It doesn't help anything, but feed the americans that in order to win, Russia has to lose.

Am I crazy here?

If you really believe that... LOL. You seen the shit Obama has had to go through these last eight years? Well on January 20th it's going to go up a notch or ten.

Well, if she's still hung up on creating a US backed No Fly Zone over Syria... We might find out who would win.

Yeah, have a terrible feeling they are going to try some fuckery when she wins, like try to impeach her as soon as she gets in. :(

Yes, those two go hand in hand. We need to do more though.

Meanwhile on the Trump side...

★ SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate
change programs and use the money to fix America’s
water and environmental infrastructure.

Have you seen the state propaganda that is virtually everywhere in Russia?

We are never going to be buddy-buddy with them, and if we were, they would only allow that if we let them do whatever the fuck they want.
