One last thing and then I wish you good luck on the campaign trail...

Why should lobbyists have more influence than the people? Or rather, why should they have so much power to dictate what legislation is passed?

Just because that's how Washington works?

I didn't go through seven years of Bush to just settle for "that's the way things are." I appreciate being realistic but the reality is that with a set of goals supported by truly remarkable vision along with her excellent manager skills for operating such a sweeping reform, she could do anything she wanted in America really. She has the power and connections while Edwards and Obama do not.

I'll vote for her if she is really going to make Washington turn 180 degrees once she gets in office. And right now, I write to you because I am wondering if she really wants to change how things are going. I'm wondering if she thinks making people settle for just a little change and not a lot is good enough given the fact that she could change things so greatly if she had some imagination.

I don't think they should have more power, neither do i believe they should stay the same, as they say I don't believe in "that's the way things are". I think their power can be lessoned but not taken away completely. Lobbyist have done good things, it has not all been bad.

As I said before, some of the many big lobbyist have been responsible for legislation that has benefited the American people. The thing is when people say lobbyist you automatically think of drug companies and big oil companies, but there are other lobbyist groups that represent working people, for example their is the Teachers union lobbyist and Emily's list.

I think when it comes to whether you believe she will bring change, you should look at her record. Since being a staffed lawyer working in the Children's Health Fund, then as First Lady in Arkansas working on the Board of Arkansas Hospital helping it expand to the 7th largest in the nation, to when she was First Lady and creating the Women and Violence office and help creating SCHIP the single legislation that has provided 7 million children with Healthcare up to this date. I think that with confidence you can conclude that she hasn;t just sat around and talked about change she has made it happened.

So if somebody asks me this what do I say...

Why should I vote for Hillary if she hasn't called for the impeachment of Cheney and Bush?
