Three Nevadans to attend debate as guests of Hillary Clinton

h/thttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/02/03/1479307/-Nevada-immigration-activist-Astrid-Silva-and-seven-other-DREAMers-are-endorsing-Hillary-Clinton

snip//
Three Nevadans have been invited as guests of Democrat Hillary Clinton to attend the third and final presidential debate Wednesday night at UNLV.

Clinton’s guests include local activist and Dreamer Astrid Silva, 11-year-old Karla Ortiz and Trump International Hotel housekeeper Ofelia Diaz Cardenas, according to a Clinton campaign official.

Both Silva and Ortiz spoke at the Democratic National Convention in July and have been featured prominently in Clinton’s campaign ads.

During a campaign stop earlier this year, Ortiz told Clinton how she was scared she would come home one day to find that her parents, who are undocumented, had been deported. She shared the same story in front of a packed arena in Philadelphia, and it was also featured in one of Clinton’s campaign ads.

Cardenas, meanwhile, was one of a handful of workers at Trump International Hotel who started wearing pro-union buttons during workers’ unionization attempts in 2014. Workers voted to unionize in December, but hotel management has yet to begin negotiations.

The rest of the story...

Those who fear deportation, those who fear sexual assault, those who fear being thought of as predators because of Trump's vile spew, those who have disabilities and pre-existing conditions, those who will need help with college costs, those who want to grow up to be president...

They are our future, and everything that's done here is done in large part for them.

Psycho that she has to deal with on stage again tonight!

It just shows her strength and dignity and how she can handle. trump is minor compared to the problems of the world.

She's had such good practice being SOS for the Obama Admin and all her other experience over the years.
