Hillary: March 2008 Archives

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

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.

Hot Alegre has proposed a writers strike at DailyKos b/c of the toxic environment there. "I will put my energy into posting at sites where my efforts aren't routinely trashed, spammed and ridiculed by a handful of angry, petty and spiteful folks.... Sadly, the majority of the administrators have allowed this hostile environment to develop"

Jehnu Greene:  Hillary Speaks for Me

"After 14 years working to organize young voters at the national, state, and local levels, I have never been more proud of the energy, enthusiasm, and turnout that young people are contributing to the 2008 elections....

After careful consideration, it has become abundantly clear that there is only one logical choice for me to support for the Democratic nomination. I believe that Senator Clinton is the best candidate for president and I believe that she is best equipped to erase the egregious mistakes of the past eight years and get our country back on track. Senator Clinton has never wavered from a fight against enemies of progressive ideals and I believe she is the candidate who will mount the best fight for and win on the issues most important to me, especially universal healthcare.

I have long been inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's dream of a day when people would be judged by the content of their characters instead of the color of their skin, and I feel confident that Senator Clinton has proved the content of her character over the course of her three decades in the fight for social justice and progressive values.

Hillary Speaks for Me because I know where she stands on the issues that are important to
the most vulnerable communities. Hillary Speaks for Me because she has never taken a break from fighting in the trenches for those with the least resources and the smallest political voice. Hillary Speaks for Me because I trust that she will deliver on her promises. Hillary Speaks for Me because I know she is the best candidate to marshal in the must needed change that progressives are yearning for and our country desperately needs."
