Bill Clinton inspires early voter turnout in Atlanta

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. – Who better to represent the Hillary Clinton campaign and motivate the electorate to get to the polls for the Georgia primary than her husband, the extremely charismatic former President Bill Clinton?

Secretary Clinton’s husband was greeted with uproarious applause at North Clayton High School in suburban Atlanta by a thundering throng of supporters in suburban Atlanta. Just before he came out, revered Congressman John Lewis, a longtime Hillary Clinton supporter, mentioned that he “spilled a little blood in Selma, Ala.” to help pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act, giving all Americans a right to participate in the Democratic process and thundered at the podium to extol the virtues of casting their votes.

Going to hear Bill Clinton speak at my high school football stadium in Atlanta when he was running for President the first time. Hillary was with him and his speech sent chills down my spine.....I knew then he would be President....in my wildest dreams I could never have guessed that one day Hillary would be President too!

I have already voted by absentee ballot in Georgia. I sent my vote for Hillary off a couple of weeks ago!
