It will be hard to choose, that is for sure.

But someone who can ignite the Latino vote, the Asian vote, the African-American vote, the Youth and Women, will get my vote. The energy and passion is there. We need to support that.

Voters are getting younger, they have dreams. At 66, I want this country and it's government to be in better shape all around for the generations coming up well after I am gone. I have my daughter (43) and 3 granddaughters aged 21, 7, and 5, to have the rights and freedoms I have and DO NOT take for granted. This country will be theirs.
