RESIST, INSIST, PERSIST, ENLIST.” - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
Synergy is a word that comes to mind when I think of Hillary and Bill Clinton. They are a formidable team. Both with impressive resumés of years of service, most recently, the tireless work they do for The Clinton Foundation and its many worldwide initiatives. Both have had many titles, too, but no doubt one that brings them much pleasure is their latest, “grandparent.” However, there is one title that those of us in Chappaqua are quite fond of: neighbor.
Statement from President and Secretary Clinton on the Passing of Tom Menino
Statement
Hillary and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Tom Menino. In his twenty years as Boston’s mayor, he became a legendary advocate and champion for all of Boston’s citizens in all of its neighborhoods; he believed with all his heart that at the end of the day, if things weren’t getting better in every corner of Boston, the job wasn’t done.
And nobody knew better than Tom how to get things done. He was a strong supporter and partner in my administration’s efforts to strengthen community policing, and to increase jobs and business opportunities in urban areas.
We’ll always remember and be grateful for Tom’s support, his friendship, and the clear joy he felt in a life devoted to public service. We were blessed to be able to say goodbye to Tom last week, and our thoughts and prayers are with Angela, his children, and his many friends and admirers.
I know we’re just a few days out from a down-to-the-wire election that will havemajor consequences for our future -- but try to forget about all the politics for a second. Instead, try to remember why you became a Democrat in the first place.
If you’re like me, it’s because you believe that we’re all in this together, and that we all have a responsibility to each other and to something bigger than ourselves.
So it’s time to put those beliefs into action.
- You believe that our elections should be decided by the people -- not by a flood of unaccountable outside money.
- You believe that men and women should be paid the same amount for the same work and that no one who puts in a hard day’s work should live in poverty.
- You believe that our economy and our democracy should work for everyone.
- You believe that we should strive for a world where every child grows up with a fair shot at the American Dream.

I know you’re sick of emails asking you for money. But I’m telling you: this is important.
We have some great Democratic campaigns out there fighting for the values we share -- they will make you proud. But with just 5 days until the election, they’re fending off some pretty ugly attacks from the other side.
And here’s the kicker: each and every one of these elections is too-close-to-call. That means our efforts in these final days to get out our Democratic message -- and most importantly, get out our Democratic voters -- will make all the difference.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give, this is it. Please chip in whatever you can today.

Thanks for everything you do,
Hillary Clinton
Thank you for your warm birthday wishes. Your thoughtful card highlights some of the work I'm most proud of at the Clinton Foundation – work that we are able to accomplish because of supporters like you.
I believe that everyone has a role to play in building a future of shared prosperity and opportunity, whether it's empowering women and girls around the world to achieve full participation, giving young people of all ages the learning and employment opportunities they need to live up to their God-given potential, or protecting elephants from poachers and stopping illegal ivory trafficking.
With your support, we are solving urgent problems and helping more people in more places live their best life story. That is the best gift I could hope for, and I appreciate your faith in our shared mission to build a better world.
Best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
