Bob Slagle endorses Hilary

Tuesday, March 4 is a red letter day in the Presidential nomination process. We are called upon to take decisive action between two appealing Democratic candidates. No matter how torn each of us may be, this cup will not pass from our lips. What each of us does, or fails to do, may matter greatly.

I was initially for Governor Richardson because of his demonstrated competence as a Congressmen, Energy Secretary, U.N. ambassador and governor, but now he is out.

After deliberate consideration I decided to support Hillary Clinton because of her accomplishments and experience at many levels of our democracy which includes her voter registration and campaign efforts in Texas for George McGovern in 1972. Yes, she and Bill were part of the anti-Vietnam war and progressive young people who flocked to the McGovern campaign.

The Democratic Party benefitted from this infusion of young enthusiasts as many went on to elective office to help shape our nation as did Hillary and Bill.

George W. Bush is a prime example of how inexperience leads to disastrous policies for our country and world.

Hillary's experience has led her to make specific proposals for new policies on Universal Health Care, the economy, the housing crisis, the environment and to end the War in Iraq.

These dramatic changes are necessary if the U.S. is to resume its role as a leader of the free world in foreign policy and lead to a new surge of imagination and economic well being at home.
