I'm going to miss my chance!

To see Clinton in RI on Saturday. I am so bummed - she's going to be at central falls high school and my Saturday Job (I work 2 jobs and work 7 days a week) is in Cumberland - so if you're from here, you would know that I am going to be about 2 miles from her!

Her rally starts at 4:30 and I don't get out of work until 5 - and on Saturday I work my first job from 3am until 7am and then my 2nd job from 9am until 5pm - who knows, even though I will be dead on my feet, I may try to get there. I wonder if I can get in late.

Since I plan to vote for Clinton, I'm obviously a member of the oligarchy, what with my work schedule and all.

It may be my only chance to get to see her in person. I saw Bill a few years ago at a Sheldon Whitehouse rally but never had the chance to see Hillary.

it in but I saw Hillary and our Sen. Tammy Baldwin in WI a few weeks ago. I did not have a ticket but stood in line for long time. Finally got in and had a nice view.

be able to get in. Hillary is in Pgh today ( a two hour drive), but the morning news said she has not announced where she will be. Would love to see her and this may be the last chance.

as we all hope and believe that it will, you may get a chance to see her again when she comes to campaign in the GE.

All best wishes and empathy to you with your extremely demanding work schedules!

time as you'd need to leave work and travel to the event? It never hurts to ask, sometimes people might surprise you.

I'm trying to keep an eye out for events in NJ, but with our primary so far away, I expect nothing is set in stone yet. I'm going to try, though.
