HEALTH CARE CHOICES: Nevadans share health care tales
http://www.lvrj.com/news/10711666.html

When Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton opened the floor Sunday after a health care-themed talk in Las Vegas, most people didn't want to ask her a question so much as tell her a story.
...
Clinton's husband, the former president, was famous for weaving ordinary Americans' stories into his speeches, a habit some derided as a gimmick or phony or even exploitative. But collecting and dispensing real-life tales is clearly a tendency shared by Hillary Clinton as she makes a run of her own.
...
In each tale, Clinton found the underlying issue and explained how she would fix it. Her health care plan, she said, would "take on" the insurance and pharmaceutical industries' bad practices. It would improve health care quality and give people more choices between insurance plans. It would eliminate COBRA and make insurance fully portable from job to job and state to state.

And so on, and so on. "Everybody has a story. Everybody is concerned about the future," Clinton said. "This is going to have to be approached as a shared responsibility." Health care, she said, is "a real problem, and it's a problem we need to have an election about."

Returning to Nevada for the first time in more than two months, Clinton had a full day Sunday, attending services at a Baptist church in the morning, meeting with unions, dropping in at a meeting of the Clark County Democratic Party and holding a rally at the newly constructed Springs Preserve's amphitheater.

Backed by risers full of members of the machinists and letter carriers unions, which have endorsed her, Clinton gave a 20-minute summary of her campaign platform, touching on foreign policy, the economy, education, energy and, of course, health care. The biggest cheer, as always at Democratic campaign events, came when she declared her commitment to ending the Iraq war.

She hammered home what has become a campaign theme, "invisibility." "When you look around you, people are working as hard as they can, but they don't feel like they're getting ahead, do they?" she said. "They feel invisible to our president. ... When I am president, there will not be invisible Americans any longer."

That was the note that resonated with audience member Dave Garrett, 58, a union ironworker. "I'm all for her," he said. "She's a strong supporter of the middle class, and the middle class is disappearing in this country."

The influencial LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is planning to campaign heavily among Latino voters in Nevada on behalf of Hillary.

In his first foray out of the city on behalf of the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will begin an effort this weekend in Nevada to draw Latino voters on her behalf.

"A Democrat in the White House, coupled with a Democratic majority in the Congress, will mean a new era of investment and a partnership that cities like Los Angeles so desperately need," Villaraigosa said of his role in Clinton's campaign.

The mayor said he plans to make additional trips for Clinton throughout the nation as the campaign develops.

Villaraigosa is the most high-profile Latino elected official to endorse Clinton in the race and serves as one of her national co-chairs.

Hillary draws thousands in Fresno, California

Thousands of people outside Fresno High School listened and cheered this morning as presidential candidate Hillary Clinton capped a campaign rally with her favorite themes: affordable health care, renewable energy and an end to U.S. fighting in Iraq.

The Clinton campaign claimed 7,500 turned out for the rally along a closed Echo Avenue, which fronts the high school. Fresno police spokesman Jeff Cardinale, however, said the crowd count was between 2,500 and 3,500.

The U.S. senator from New York took the stage, set up on the sidewalk along Echo, at 9:47 a.m. and spoke for 30 minutes.

"Let me ask you: Are you ready for change?" the Democratic candidate said, in a slightly hoarse voice, to cheers from the placard-waving audience.

Most of the people at the rally sounded like Teresa DeAnda of Earlimart, a self-described air quality activist. A Democrat, DeAnda said she came to the event undecided over which candidate she would support. She came away squarely in the Clinton camp.

"She really gave me hope right now," DeAnda said.

The Clinton campaign had hoped to surpass what they said was the biggest turnout for a presidential candidate in Fresno history -- an estimated 5,000 who came to see Sen. Robert Kennedy in April 1968.

Tomorrow is going to be CO!!
