As a voter and citizen of the United States of America, I believe it is fundamental to the existence of our democracy that a presidential candidate (who was paid $675,000 for three private appearances to Goldman Sachs) publicly release the transcripts of the paid speeches she made to one of the special interest groups she claims she will fight against if she wins the presidency. Currently, questions are being raised on whether she will be able to put the American people first or if she will cave to Wall Street's influence once elected. The release of the transcripts is an essential step in providing some light on whether Hillary Clinton is the right person to take on Wall Street's recklessness and complete lack of concern for the environment, consumers, and democracy.
