With the West Virginia primary approaching, voters across the state are declaring their support for Hillary:
...just wanted to drop a line to tell you about one of your amazing supporters in WV. This would be my cousin Kathy. In the last past year she has been through open heart surgery and leukemia. She got out of the hospital about a month and half ago in remission. Tonight I was getting on the interstate to go to Clarksburg, and who do I see - my cousin Kathy standing on the side of the road waving a Hillary sign. That is true heart. Like me, she was raised by a mother who taught her to be independent and never set limitations. I won't vote for you for president because you are a woman. I will vote for you because of your experience, intelligence and because I feel you truly want to help this country. The fact that you are a woman…is a bonus. Oh, and I'm fairly certain my husband, son , and nephew will be voting for you, also. Good Luck!

My name is Andrew and I am a junior political science major at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. Four weeks ago I was sure my vote in this primary was going to Senator Obama, but after hearing the former President speak at our campus and sitting down and figuring out what matters in this country, there is only one way to vote -- and that’s for Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton has a lifetime record of fighting for hard working Americans and I believe once again she will prove the critics wrong. I believe we need someone in Washington who won't forget where they come from and where they've been and I believe Hillary Clinton is that person. Hillary you'll always be a Mountaineer and on May 13th we will make sure West Virginia remains Clinton Country!

...Hillary has the experience, compassion, and wisdom to build America back up to where it should be and put the pieces of our country back together again. There are many leaders in this world, but the ones that lead with compassion are the only ones that are remembered and respected. Hillary has gained our respect in the past and will continue to prove that she deserves it in the future…A vote for Hillary is a vote for the change we need and the experience to back it up. I am putting my middle class family of four into the hands of Hillary knowing that she will care for us as she has cared for her own…Hillary is the future of our American dream. I put my full faith in Hillary's hands to provide the answers to the most difficult problems in our world today. If you look closely into Hillary's eyes when she speaks of the change needed for us, you can actually see the compassion for the American people. You can see yourself, your neighbor, your family, your friends, your children's future...and the world right there in her eyes. As she speaks you can actually hear her listening to you, and the needs of everyone. Hillary's presence makes you feel that there is a future worth waking up for.

I am the Assessor of Marshall County, WV and I want to give my endorsement to Hillary as the next President of the United States. Senator Clinton is the only candidate that is proposing solutions to problems that affect working-class West Virginians and Americans. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate display such tenacity and a fighting spirit -- and Hillary does it every day on the campaign trail. These qualities are what I want in my president, and I am fully confident that Hilary will carry those qualities to the White House. I've always stated in my election campaigns that I got into politics to try to help people. There is no doubt in my mind that Hilary has done the same.
