March. This is Women's History Month. Some Quotes from Hillary Clinton.
There cannot be true democracy unless women's voices are heard. There cannot be true democracy unless women are given the opportunity to take responsibility for their own lives. There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country. [July 11, 1997]
I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women. I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to make the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard.
Eleanor Roosevelt understood that every one of us every day has choices to make about the kind of person we are and what we wish to become. You can decide to be someone who brings people together, or you can fall prey to those who wish to divide us. You can be someone who educates yourself, or you can believe that being negative is clever and being cynical is fashionable. You have a choice.

Some need to think about the end results by promoting the feeling that theres is not solution being offered, as there are excellent ones our party works on tirelessly.
The ones who want us to feel despair and cynicism are not working with us. They want us to be so upset that we give in to their new brand, which is a very old one pushed by the rich and powerful.
Thanks for taking a moment to post that here.

(83,791 posts)I will support the one that supports me, a woman! I will also support the one that gives my friends, my causes, my deepest beliefs the best chance of succeeding. I have stated it enough, they know who they are. They can take me at my word or not. Hillary throws her hat in the ring...i will be 100% behind her. No one has declared yet.
I have always fought for me and mine. I am not about to stop fighting for those I love.
Once before I go~
Damn I loved Peter Allen.
My President, our President Obama did all of this. Hillary will as well. She will carry on where he left off. Tears, cause I never want him to leave office.
k~ I will let go when its time.

This group will be needed...just like the BOG. There will be the cruel haters.Trust me on that on that. When I first came to DU, sigh~ scared the heck out of me. Yikes! Then I found the BOG and posted from there. Then ya know what, I got my wings and my voice and posted on GD, to hell what they put me through. I had made friends and they took my back. I made friends in different groups. They had my back. Love everyone of them. They are so beautiful and supportive. Hillary will see the same.
