At first called a town hall meeting, organizers are now calling her stop at a "rally." Hillary Clinton will be speaking Wednesday at the Bill Greehey Arena at St. Mary's University. The former first lady will spend a couple of hours there and will speak to around 3,500 people. "We're just very excited about the individuals that are coming and especially that it's her, and that's she's coming to talk to us about the 'Solution for America'," said Clinton Campaign Coordinator Choco Meza. Clinton staff and Secret Service did a site check Monday. They'll be out again Wednesday morning to prepare for Hillary's last minute visit. "Hillary knows that the Latino community is very important to her," said Clinton Campaign Volunteer Luis Vera, Jr. "So, the fact that she comes to St. Mary's University, the heart of the Latino community of San Antonio, is very, very significant." The rally will feature music and speakers before and after her talk with voters. Several San Antonio dignitaries will be there, including County Judge Nelson Wolff. "They should expect to hear her vision and her, uh, view of what should happen in America," said Meza. The Clinton crowd expects a full house inside.
