Fighting for Dreams

The Charleston Gazette has an OP/ED by Hillary Clinton today describing why she is running for president and what her goals are as our next president. It’s well worth a read… Here’s a few quips:

I guess you can say that I grew up in one of those typical working class homes. Both parents worked and my father worked overtime as much as possible to earn a little extra cash to provide a few niceties we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to afford. I grew up with a fairly simple […]
