Urges California support
for Hillary’s campaign

Ten days ago I was personally
introduced to Hillary Clinton at a
small gathering in a San Diego
home and found her to be not
only warm and gracious but
inquisitive, intelligent, knowledgeable
and passionate about
you and me and our country.

It is apparent to many that we
need a president who will once
again champion the Constitution
and government checks and balances,
liberty and the individual,
healthcare and science.
As part of her effort, over the
next 10 years Hillary will double
the budget for the National Institutes
of Health, the important agency that funds most
basic research, without which
there would be few medical
breakthroughs.

On the global stage, Hillary will
restore our standing in the world.
Because she knows heads of state
around the world, she can skip
the introductions and get down to
business. As she says, “America
must remain a preeminent leader
for peace and freedom, willing to
work in concert with other
nations and institutions to reach
common goals.”

Most important, she’s the only
candidate primed and ready on
Day 1 to be our CEO, our head of
state, our commander-in-chief
and the president of the United
States.

I invite you to lend your voice to
the growing California chorus
and invite everyone you know to
join in as well.
