Hillary Really Does Fight for Children and Families

I have heard people ask, "Why should anyone vote for Hillary? What GOOD has she ever done?" So I decided to find out.

Here is one thing I found: Back in 1977 Hillary was one of the co-founders of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. Hillary has been talking about helping children and families a lot in the 2016 campaign. This is not a new theme for her. In fact she's been talking about children, and working for children, for most of her life.

All the way back in 1977, when she was only 29 years old, Hillary drew up the articles of incorporation for this organization. Another founder, named Jim Miles, said Hillary was a "very forceful advocate." (1)

Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families still exists, and still works to make lives better. It's mission statement is: The mission of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families is to ensure that all children and their families have the resources and opportunities to lead healthy and productive lives and to realize their full potential. (2)

As recently as February of 2016 Arkansas Advocates was fighting for paid family leave in Arkansas - fighting to make life better for families and children. (3)

Hillary helped to create this institution that has been working to help people for 39 years now. I think that's something good that Hillary did. I think that's a reason some people might want to vote for her.
