In the first half-hour, Natalie Ferdinand Twigger comes to us as a hard-line Hillary supporter from Ranson, WV. She has some strong opinions on the election and on Hillary Clinton. Here are her words:

"The reason why like Hillary is that for many years she has fought for women's rights, Children's Rights, Civil Rights and LGBT Rights. I've wanted Hillary for so many reasons: because she is a fighter; she is a champion; she is a great person; she fights for everyone. She has so much compassion for everyone - not just for Democrats but also for Rep's and Ind's - for everyone, including illegal immigrants and I know that she is very qualified in Foreign Policy. We have got to get her in the White House. I also can't say enough about how much she does for gun violence and gun control. It means so much to me how much she does for that and talks about it and represents gun control. Republicans are very mistaken to think that we Democrats have have it in our minds to take away their guns. No! She just wants to get rid of the loopholes."

Our second half brings us to Charlotte Pritt. Charlotte is an educator, businesswoman, and politician in the U.S. state of West Virginia. From 1984 to 1988, she served in the West Virginia House of Delegates. From 1988 to 1996, she served in the West Virginia State Senate. In 1996, she ran as a Democrat for governor and lost narrowly, but made history as the first woman to secure the West Virginia gubernatorial nomination of either of the two major political parties. From 2012 to 2014, she was Chairwoman of the Mountain Party which is the West Virginia Green Party affiliate. Today, she is the president of Better Balance, a West Virginia-based educational and wellness consulting firm.
