Hillary Answers Students' Call... Visits Keota High School in Iowa.

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/12/22/1462915/-Hillary-Clinton-Visits-Keota-High-School-in-Iowa



This is a wonderful story. High school students Megan Adam, Abby Schulte and Kylea Tinnes from Keota High School in Keota, Iowa were participating in a project to improve their community and they came up with the brilliant idea to bring presidential candidates to their school to talk about small towns. They got Rick Santorum to visit and also Martin O’Malley. But they were really hoping for Hillary Clinton. They called their campaign “Keota Hopes for Hillary” and even created a Twitter account to get more supporters.

Local Hillary campaign organizers brought some of the Keota students to the Jefferson Jackson dinner and they spoke to Hillary at the rope line and invited her. More invitations followed. Hillary Clinton heard their call, she heard it loud and clear, “I am coming to Keota. I am coming,” Hillary promised.

And she fulfilled that promise today. Hillary Clinton held a town-hall meeting at Keota High school. Almost 70% of the entire town showed up.
