We Are Witnessing History!

Hillary's name has been placed in nomination!

And we are here to see it!

You will be able to tell your children and your grandchildren that you were witness to history in the making, as it happened, before your very eyes.

We are privileged to be alive at this point in our country's history.

I am trying my hardest to do the same. Michelle's words: when they go low, we go high.

And remember, none of this can bring Hillary down. She is far stronger than I am!
