Senator Clinton went to church with her daughter, but did not speak. Later she read letters from other women who supported her in this campaign, telling her in a variety of different ways why not to give up.

I plea to Senator Clinton not to give up, for she is the only one who has a Universal health Care Plan. Please do not give up for all the people whose lives you can save, with achieving Universal Health Care. My daughter is dying and this is Mothers Day, please help another Mother and Daughter, whose life might be saved.

Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

My daughter is dying, and this is Mothers Day, I only hope Senator Clinton is our President so can finally achieve Universal Health care for all people. If my daughter had the proper care she could havelive longer and the quality of her life would have been better.

No backwards I am not quoting the article, my daughter is dying from MS. My daughter's illness has made its dreaded turn for the worst. My daughter can no longer swallow, and is drinking liquids.What she has gone through could have been slowed and her quality of life improved with the proper health care.

I knew you had said she has MS. I am deeply sorry to hear this about her. I don;t know what to say. Words fail at a time like this. I have known you only through Newsvine but I know you are a fine person. I can offer you moral support.

Ok, this is a very tough time, i finally am preparing the funeral arrangements. A friend, has told me, I must and I know I must. It has been ten years, and she did not receive the proper Doctor's or Medicines for lack of proper health care Insurance.

Thank you for your support, I am finally letting my self cry and feel the pain. But, this is the one big reason, I want the Good Senator from New York, to be our President. She is the only candidate that is going to work for Universal health Care. God bless her for that. You have no idea how difficult it is to see your daughter die and know they the medical community refused to help because of lack of proper Insurance. It is truly heart breaking and you know OK, my daughter is the not the first nor will she be the last person to die, until what is suppose to be a great Nation wakes up and becomes civilized, regarding health care for all people not just for the lucky, and the wealthy.

I have no children but my father died from lack of proper medical care. There is probably nothing I can do to comfort you but I do hope you can get through all this.

I noticed you just passed 100 stories. I would l would like to do a short profile on you, something like this one.

OK, I am sorry for the loss of your Father, and I know the pain was even greater, for the proper care was not provided. Our Country has to come to grips with this, if my Daughter and your Father had lived in France, Canada, or England there is a good chance that your Father would still be alive and my Daughter not dying.

What a selfish Government we have to let this continue.

OK, I'm not a kid anymore, I've been through a lot like most people, this I will weather through, forever changed and saddened by my Daughters illness, but will continue on with the memory of my Daughter forever etched in my being.

If you want to do a short profile that would be wonderful, I really doubt if there is a lot of viners who would be interested, you know and they know, I'm not a Obama fan. It shouldn't make a difference but this place is very political.

You might want to read my article I wrote called "The Not So Great Obama" before you decide to do a profile on me.I did a tongue and cheek profile on the Senator.

I am no longer young either. I was 22 When my father died. I am trying to catch up on your articles. I am in no way an Obama supporter. IF I was a democrat I would vote for Clinton.
I will post a profile on you tomorrow, about noon. I think you are the fifth. I am going to try one a week.
If Hillary wins big in W VA tomorrow, that could shake things up little.

OK, you were so young to have lost your Father, one never forgets. I was 5 years old when I lost my father, with in a year my mother became seriously ill and my brother, sisters, and I were separated and placed in different foster homes.

Life is fragile, OK, it really is and not always fair, not by a long shot.

Thank you again for doing a profile on me. Where are the profiles? I really enjoyed reading backroads profile, its backroads, you did a wonderful job about backroads. Many thanks.
