Months, years really, of speculation were about to end as April began. The first solid indication was Karen Finney's Facebook announcement
that she had joined Hillary's team. Until that day, all of Hillary's
hires were reported by "unnamed sources." Karen was the first to
announce it directly with a Facebook share. April 12 was "Declaration
Day!"
Hillary announced via Twitter (she had been tweeting energetically for months), a revived HillaryClinton.com website, and a Youtube video that played on network and cable TV as the suspense finally lifted. She also revived her Facebook account.
The Hillary team immediately hit the road for Iowa and it was game on! (Awww ... this little baby at a road stop!)
In Iowa, she took advantage of every opportunity to meet people. Iowans greeted her enthusiastically.
There were mixed reviews of her logo at the beginning. Since then, we have seen the genius of that H's adaptability.
Here is my very intelligent cat for Hillary.
On April 15, Hillary announced her resignation from the Clinton Foundation. Time Magazine once again named her among the 100 most influential people.
And the attacks from the Republicans began. Carly Fiorina was the first to launch a shot over the bow. We retaliated here.
Hillary's second week on the trail took her to New Hampshire.
A wall of campaign buttons in the "early state."
At Georgetown University she presented the Hillary Rodham Clinton Award for Advancing Women in Peace to former United Nations Envoy for Afghanistan Staffan de Mistura.
She participated in the Women in the World Summit and the Diane Von Furstenberg Awards.
Bernard-Henri Levy published a wonderful tribute
to her. I am his longtime fan, and he is hers! (One reason I like him
so much.) Martha Stewart said she is for "the lady that is running."
She made it clear that she was not referring to Fiorina.
Hillary's
platform was coming together with equal pay, fair pay,
college-affordability, women's rights, and LGBT rights among the issues
she addressed early and often. She addressed reform of the criminal justice system in a major speech at the David N. Dinkins Leadership and Public Policy Forum at Columbia University in late April.
On the last day of April, she sent a tweet to welcome to Bernie Sanders to the race.
Hillary
Clinton is not familiar. She is revolutionary. Not radical, but
revolutionary: the distinction is crucial. She is one of America’s
greatest modern creations. Her decades in our public life must not blind
us to the fact that she represents new realities and possibilities.
Indeed, those same decades have conferred upon her what newness usually
lacks: judgment, and even wisdom.
Women who advocate for other
women are often pigeonholed and pushed to the margins. That hasn’t
happened to Hillary, because when she’s standing up for the rights of
women and girls, she is speaking not only of gender but also of justice
and liberty.
It
was always going to take a special kind of leader to pick up Ted
Kennedy’s mantle as senior Senator from Massachusetts—champion of
working families and scourge of special interests. Elizabeth Warren
never lets us forget that the work of taming Wall Street’s irresponsible
risk taking and reforming our financial system is far from finished.
And she never hesitates to hold powerful people’s feet to the fire:
bankers, lobbyists, senior government officials and, yes, even
presidential aspirants.
Elizabeth Warren’s journey from janitor’s
daughter to Harvard professor to public watchdog to U.S. Senator has
been driven by an unflagging determination to level the playing field
for hardworking American families like the one she grew up with in
Oklahoma. She fights so hard for others to share in the American Dream
because she lived it herself. Read more >>>>
