Angela Bassett campaigns for Hillary as fiercely as she does everything else

She spoke to hundreds of students at a couple of universities yesterday. She sounds so fired up that I wish I could have heard her!

Here are a series of tweets about why she supports Hillary. Love her enthusiasm!

Whew! What an amazing whirlwind! Here's why I answered the call this wk to speak about someTHING&someONE I'm passionate about supporting:

1)SC has A LOT @ stake this election. We r facing a Republican Party whose PRIMARY OBJECTIVE is to RIP AWAY @ PROGRESS our NATION has made.

2)@HillaryClinton is KNOWLEDGEABLE about foreign policy as well as about our PRESSING ISSUES @ HOME.

3)WE need a person w/EXPANSIVE intelligence,DEEP experience&UNCOMPROMISING INTEGRITY occupying the most POWERFUL POSITION in the free world!

4)She knows how to articulate what's BEST FOR AMERICA for the STRUGGLING, the STRIVING and the SUCCESSFUL.

5)(And she LISTENS to the NEEDS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS!) @HillaryClinton #ImWithHer

6)She UNDERSTANDS those ISSUES which are of GREAT CONCERN to US-like affordable CHILDCARE or affordable&available EDUCATION fr. preK-College

7)TIRELESS ADVOCATE who doesn't give up, who stands up&delivers ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS so that the life you DREAM OF is WITHIN REACH! #Hillary

8)She's UNIQUELY PREPARED for such a time as THIS w/the toughness & compassion to solve those issues that weigh HEAVY on us. #ImWithHer

9)She has CONSISTENTLY fought for COMMON SENSE gun laws. @HillaryClinton #ImWithHer

10) She'll make it her MISSION to call for REFORM of our criminal justice system & end the era of MASS incarceration. @HillaryClinton

11) @HillaryClinton will FIGHT to EXPAND voting RIGHTS- RIGHTS THAT REPUBLICANS SYSTEMATICALLY TIME & AGAIN ATTEMPT TO RESTRICT! #ImWithHer

12)She'll implement UNIVERSAL AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION!!! #ImWithHer @HillaryClinton

13)She CAN & WILL GET. IT. DONE- EQUAL PAY for women, RAISING minimum wage, CONTINUING to CHAMPION legislature that bans racial profiling.

14) And giving EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES for a BETTER life to ALL.

15)Finally, I BELIEVE: Others say they wanna, others say they're willing. But only @HillaryClinton can DO. Dropping my mike now. #ImWithHer
