| Opinion: Why I Am Supporting Hillary? |

Why?........... I am supporting Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
As an independent forever, after evaluating what is
at stake for all of us and what solutions these candidates are
offering, I have decided to strongly support Senator Clinton .......
for a better tomorrow in terms of Economy, Health Care, Alternate
energy resources, Greener planet & Green Jobs, healthy Foreign
relations all over the World, especially India. Her plan is to
accomplish this by putting wisdom and experience into real actions.
Firstly, Senator Clinton cares about what I care most about as a
physician “the universal health careâ€, a concept that American Medical
Association has advocated for decades. She was the first
politician to take a shot on it when this was a very unpopular solution
for the health care mess we are in. Today, talking about
universal health care has become a leading topic of the election cycle.
Her current proposal will give opportunity to all to have health care.
This, in long run, will save a lot of lives and health care dollars.
Second reason is the economic mess that we are in today. US
economy affects economy of the entire world. She is the only
candidate who has given a very detail step by step map as to what she
will do to improve the economy, starting dealing with the mortgage and
foreclosures crisis to creating jobs through improving infrastructure,
building roads & bridges and investing in creating green jobs.
Experts have said that her economic plan is even much better than
President Bill Clinton. And, we all remember those days of prosperity.
Next, on my list is the energy & environment. Her energy plan
encourages exploration of new technologies for clean and alternate
energy resources. Less dependence on foreign oil, R&D for
alternate fuel and using these new products will create green jobs and
automatically save the environment and global warming
Another
reason, Image of USA in the entire world, which needs a massive make-
over. She is a well known figure all over the world and has
already interacted with many foreign leaders. As a
commander-in-chief she will not need a learning curve. Other nations
will take her seriously right from very the first day. With her
approach of aggressive diplomacy and negotiations USA will be able to
restore its reputation in a shorter period of time.
Finally, I
do care about education for our children, protecting our constitutional
rights, human rights for people across the globe, women’s rights here
and in the world. I have studied record of Senator Clinton on all
these issues and I admire what she has done so far.
Moreover, She has shown the ability to work with people across the
aisle—even Trent Lott and Lindsey Graham. She has shown how to achieve
results.
I am fully confident, if elected as 44th president of
United States of America, she will work harder than any other president
to prove that a woman President that we needed to clean the mess we
have created in past few years.
