Every Voice.org Endorses Hillary Clinton
http://everyvoice.org/press-release/hillary-clinton-for-president"Every Voice is a national advocacy group fighting for a democracy that works for all of us.

They uncover how special interests interfere with our democracy and block progress on critical issues like addressing climate change, preventing gun violence, and raising the minimum wage. And they have smart, concrete ideas on how to change our broken campaign finance system.
Ive made campaign finance reform a cornerstone of my campaign from the beginning. If elected, this will be a top priority for my presidency. And I will be a strong partner to everyone working toward that goal.

(257 posts)1. Endorse...ok. But get out and vote is more important.
Wonder what it will take to get millennials out to vote for Hillary? They don't seem to be listening to the President.
