I will caucus for Clinton, an experienced pragmatist, to lead us in tenuous times. Sen. Sanders has been able to stir up his supporters for revolution, but he is not the best one to govern with respect, practiced diplomacy, compromise, and at the same time hold a firm stance in our tumultuous world. Secretary Clinton has decades of broad national and international experience and relationship building. She has a record of reaching across the aisle at home and defeating gridlock. Clinton’s decades of advocacy for children, health care coverage, equal rights, and urgent scientific attention to planetary concerns, put her in good standing for a breadth of issues. She has been scrutinized and has stood strong, holding her ground.

Clinton is the candidate to move at an effective, schooled pace for transition, as opposed to Sander’s unrealistic revolution, especially if working with a Republican majority in the House and Senate. We couldn’t ask for a more qualified candidate to implement vision, management and progress from the helm. She is ready to hit the ground running the day she takes office.

Exercise your precious right to caucus, check in at 6:30 p.m. Find your location at www.laplatadems.org. Volunteer to fill the caucus rooms, bring a friend, drive an elderly neighbor. Together we can make history. Let’s prove young Marvin-Vanderryn wrong!
