Hillary Clinton Has Unpaid Interns on Her Staff?

Sigh... what is going on in the world?

I can't vote for Hillary Clinton.  Sorry.  I won't do it.  I toyed with the idea of voting for a woman. But this news stopped me in my tracks.

Hillary Clinton's unpaid intern limbo: a grassroots campaign of 'free help'

How could she do this?  Unpaid interns?  This is free labor.

I want a president who will create paying jobs so people can support themselves and their families.

I want a president who believes in paying people for their work.

I want a president who fights for fairness for Americans.

I agree with singer Taylor Swift who is standing tall against corporations by saying no one should work for free.

Hollywood's unpaid interns are winning lawsuits. 

Most likely, there are more lawsuits to come.

We haven't heard the end of this issue.

For me - I refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton based solely upon her ongoing use of unpaid interns.  

In March of 2014, she spoke against unpaid internships. 

Yet, in 2015 she did an about face and she's hiring unpaid interns?

Read the articles and be educated.  Her unpaid interns are not only college students looking for college credit.  In order to be paid later on, well known campaigners of all ages are working as unpaid interns with hopes to get a real job.  Using their talents and skills for her benefit is simply wrong.

Pay people for their work.  It's as simple as that.  If you can't do that, you shouldn't be president.
