Hillary Clinton's "Briefing" Staff Takes a Republican Red Pen to the SOTU Text and It's Hilarious ... and Scary!!!

There is a character in Thornton Wilder's Our Town called "The Stage Manager,"  but every production of Our Town has an actual stage manager who never appears onstage or gets a bouquet ... but should.  No theatrical production can succeed without a great stage manager.  So let's all salute them for choosing the absolutely best candidate for president in 2016!

IATSE Endorses Hillary Clinton for President

Wednesday, January 13, 2016

The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) announced its endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president of the United States.
Based on her long record of fighting for workers’ rights and working families, the IATSE General Executive Board voted unanimously to endorse the former U.S. Secretary of State on Monday, January 11th.
“Hillary Clinton is the only candidate that reached out to discuss issues affecting members of the IATSE,” said IATSE International President Matthew Loeb. “She spent her valuable time discussing our unique issues and challenges with me, demonstrating not just her support of workers in general, but also that she is concerned with the well-being of members of the IATSE.”
Representing more than 125,000 workers in entertainment throughout the U.S. and Canada, the IATSE looks forward to working with Clinton on digital piracy, workers’ rights, misclassification of workers, and other issues affecting behind-the-scenes entertainment workers.
In July 2015, IATSE International President Loeb released a statement in support of Clinton calling out companies that misclassified workers as independent contractors, an issue that directly affects workers represented by the IATSE.

Like the stage managers, we say #ImWithHer!

Myth-Busting: Not the First Time in 20 Years Hillary Clinton Missed SOTU

There was a "missing Hillary" frenzy on Twitter tonight of people saying this was the first time in 20 years that HRC was not in attendance at SOTU.  Even on Facebook, this poignant photo was shared far and wide. 

Actually, this was not the first time she missed SOTU.  In 2010 she was in London for a conference on Afghanistan, and from there went on to Paris.  Here is her schedule for January 27, 2010, the night of SOTU.
