I have known Hillary for many years and have seen her work passionately on many issues, including poverty, education, and prison reform," said Simmons. "I'm proud to support Hillary because she has the experience necessary to deliver real solutions and turn our country around. In addition, seeing Hillary as President would be an inspiration to my daughters, knowing that they too can be anything they want if they have the determination to make it happen. As a mother, I have learned that you must lead with your head, not just your heart, and I'm confident that Hillary will be the President to bring our country together and deliver a brighter future for all Americans.

A group called HIllary1000 is blogging "I Am HIllary Clinton"

here are excerpts from a great blog, (read the whole thing here)

This campaign, thought up by the inimitable Red Queen, is a public expression of the outrage that many of us feel at the hatred directed at Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.  I, as both a Hillary Clinton supporter, and as a person who realizes that these attacks are not just about Hillary but about me, am taking this moment to stand and say that I am Hillary Clinton.  

When Senator Clinton is criticized as "negative," or "ambitious," or any of the other traits necessarily shared by all politicians, it is a reminder that should I ever achieve success, the qualities necessary for that success will be used to discredit me.

When Senator Clinton is singled out for unpopular or difficult positions held by both candidates, it is not only a distortion of the political facts, but it is also an unquestioned acceptance and perpetuation of the cultural maxim that says "a woman must be twice as good to receive half as much credit as a man."  It is a reminder that no matter what I do, I will not be good enough.

I will not be shamed or frightened by these tactics.  I support Senator Clinton.  I stand behind her with ferocity and pride.  

I am Hillary Clinton.

"I voted for Hillary, donated money to her campaign and proudly wear my Hillary swag.  I'm incensed by the media's coverage and non-coverage of the greatest woman candidate (or candidate period) that we've had since Bill Clinton. I've recently started directing, a field dominated by men, and am finding very similar difficulties in attitudes that Hillary seems to be finding in her campaign. I know I shouldn't put so much weight into her election, but what a boost for women in every field of endeavor to have a woman as President."
