The first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama made Friday his first official appearance in the electoral campaign for the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton, in an act in which "rolled up his sleeves" to try to win the youth vote, saying that "it is not the time to lose heart."
Before hundreds of students at George Mason University, in Virginia, the first lady gave evidence in another occasion his great charisma when dealing with the public and appealed to young people not to "come to a rally just to take ' selfies', but to go to the streets and get register voters (for the applicant) ".
"I will work very hard to make Hillary Clinton be elected. I need your help, but you have to roll up your sleeves. Are you ready?" He asked Michelle to students before to remind them that it is not necessary to vote only in November, but it is necessary to mobilize their communities to increase participation.
The first lady recalled that Virginia is one of the key states (so-called 'swingstates', which have no preference set between the two major parties) in the presidential elections and insisted that in the last election, when her husband was elected, the margin of victory in some of these states was only a few votes.
"Elections are not just about who votes, but also on those who do not vote," warned Michelle to younger, they usually record the lowest levels of participation in elections.
Therefore, the first lady stressed that it is very important that young people "are willing to work with the heart" to make Hillary is finally elected president.
"The choice you will make on November 8 will determine whether you can pay or not a university enrollment." "You have to get everyone they know, your family, your friends, and to make that to register to vote. Do not leave this building without it," he asked the first lady to students.
Michelle also said he "disagrees" with those who show disillusioned on the country's political perspectives, and encouraged young people to "not hear the noise" of the election campaign, which is vitiated by malicious rhetoric of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and assess what state the former secretary can offer the country.
"She inspires me. I am inspired by his life and his career dedicated to public service," said the first lady, to reiterate that not her husband, Barack Obama nor the Democratic candidate, former President Bill Clinton they were as prepared as Hillary for the position.
"And it turns out she is a woman", said Michelle, only to be cheered by the public.
"Hillary has the resilience that is required to make this work, and when the drop, she always manages to get up," the first lady.
Michelle also stressed that "only one person in this presidential race" is qualified for the position, a responsibility, she said, "can lead to the beginning of wars, can destroy markets and change the fate of the planet."
"The president does not change who you are. It reveals who you are. And the same happens in a presidential campaign," said Michelle, referring to the real estate mogul.
Among chants of "Four more years" ( "Four more years," in free translation), the first lady explained that it is understandable to feel "uncertainty" because of the transition that the country is going through with the arrival of a new president, but insisted on the need to elect Hillary to the United States do not return to the situation that lived when her husband became president.
The presence of Michelle Obama in the campaign after his memorable speech at the Democratic National Convention in July in Philadelphia, is the last building block in the efforts of Democrats to overcome Donald Trump in the final stretch of the race.
The first lady chose a University of Virginia to start his campaign for former Secretary of State fulfilling a dual strategy: First, appeal to younger, a group in which Hillary is not very popular; and second, making his speech in a key state for the results of November.
