Hillary Clinton's rise earns place of honor in birthplace of US women's suffrage
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/18/hillary-clinton-seneca-falls-women-rights-historyStanton read from the Declaration of Sentiments, now remembered as the foundational women’s rights document. Echoing the Declaration of Independence, the document stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.”
More than a century and a half after the first women’s rights convention was held, Hillary Clinton walked on to the stage at a Brooklyn warehouse, and, hands clasped at her heart, shattered a 240-year-old glass ceiling. Draping herself in the mantle of the women’s rights movement, Clinton credited the work of Stanton and the suffragists for starting the fight that made possible her historic ascent to presumptive nominee of the Democratic party.
“Tonight’s victory is not about one person,” Clinton told the crowd assembled at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, many of them women and girls wiping tears from their eyes. “It belongs to generations of women and men who struggled and sacrificed and made this moment possible. In our country, it started right here in New York, a place called Seneca Falls.”
Apparently today's Seneca Falls is not quite as favorable to women candidates. Bernie narrowly won there and Trump got >50% of the county's votes. The one non-Hillary supporter that the article quotes is one woman who is a Trump supporter - seemingly to support the meme that SF is "divided."
Other than that, it's a good read.

Not only that.. Hillary is the most qualified candidate ever to run for President.. And, President Obama agrees.. so there!
Mahalo, Blue~
She is indeed the most qualified candidate EVER! But I still love Prez O and oh, will I miss him! 
To be honest, the thought of any other person becoming president kind of actually scares the shit out of me. And I mean anyone else.
GO HILLARY!!! 
...from the fact that the Clintons already resided in the White House, and our economy and country did well.
... because out of those eight years working in the construction trade I was laid off one time for two weeks. After Bush came in it seemed I spent more time laid off than I worked. Finally just gave it up and retired, such as it is. My time out there may have passed but I have high hopes for my grandchildren's future with Hillary at the helm. 
Was at work without any data on my phone or I would have replied earlier.
I was at a craft beer-fest in Hilo and wouldn't have seen it!
We have nothing to fear with a Clinton presidency except for relentless, crazy attacks from the right wing and fringe groups, but then we have become accustomed to that happening over the last eight years with Pres. Obama! Maybe we are immune now.
It'll be onward and upwards with Hillary at the helm as you say
revolution!
