Very cool news! Maya Angelou has announced that she is endorsing Hillary Clinton! While this is all very exciting, I'm not sure how a celebrity endorses a candidate. Is it like a sponsorship? Will Hillary have to start wearing campaign bades with Maya's poems and face on them? Will her new campaign commercials say, "This commercial has been paid for by Hillary Clinton and her sponsor, Maya Angelou." I wonder what NOW has to say about this. Anyway. Maya had this to say about Hillary:
"I know what kind of president Hillary Clinton will be because I know who she is. Hillary Clinton has always been a strong woman and a passionate protector of families. For 35 years, that’s exactly what she has been doing...We need a president with the experience and strength to meet those challenges."
"I am inspired by Hillary Clinton’s commitment and courage — a daughter, a wife, a mother — my girl."
