Clinton draws big crowd to Hug High
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton spoke to a packed house and noisy crowd during her first-ever campaign stop in Reno on Sunday, telling a standing-room-only crowd at Hug High School that she will get U.S. troops out of Iraq if she is elected president.
"If this president does not end this war before he leaves office, when I am president, I will," Clinton, D-N.Y., said, causing the crowd of about 3,500 to roar with approval.
Clinton also promised to take better care of the nation's "wounded warriors" when they return from Iraq.
When someone shouted, "Bring them home," Clinton replied, "That's what we're trying to do."
And the crowd erupted again.
Clinton also tossed some blame for U.S. immigration issues to our Latin American neighbors.
"I think we've got to do more to tell the countries to our south that it is time they started creating jobs for their own people and do it quickly," Clinton said.
After Clinton's speech and subsequent question-and-
answer period, many left feeling fired up for Hillary.
"I absolutely would vote for her," said Norma Lessard, 60, who drove 100 miles from Schurz to see Clinton. "I'm ready for a change, how about you?"
