Emily's List Is Ready for Hillary

Emily’s List hasn't yet endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, but that's just a formality. The PAC, founded in 1985, has helped Democratic women reach every level of elected office short of the White House. Now the group is focusing its resources on the one goal that has eluded it.

Since soon after President Barack Obama won a second term, Emily's List has been preparing for Clinton to run, convening conversations about electing a woman president, and commissioning polling on Americans' views. But the groundwork goes back even further, to the group's founding three decades ago to support Democratic women running for Senate and to the years it's spent advocating for women in politics.

On Tuesday, Clinton will return the favor, delivering the keynote speech at the group's 30th anniversary gala in Washington as she prepares to embark on what people close to her are not shying away from calling an historic campaign. Bookending the significance of her second shot at the presidency, she'll be introduced by Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski, the first woman elected to the Senate in her own right, in 1986.

Not intending to watch MSM's selected clips as they reinterpret what she says to suit their bias.
Would be an honor to sit among the crowd as Mrs Clinton speaks for women & business, and their far brighter future with Mrs Clinton's leadership than what a giant step backward we risk with the GOP, Teaparty & Fundy KKKristian's hold for the future.

Do you know where can we watch this?
Thanks

Look at what we have out there right now. So much excitement. Compare that to the CPAC morons.
