Thank you, stillone~

I'm for Planned Parenthood and so is Hillary!



Blast from the Past~

The 2009 Planned Parenthood Federation of America Margaret Sanger Award, the organization’s highest honor, will be presented to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been a champion of women’s health and rights throughout her public service career.

There are so many strong, intelligent, independent Women who are Voting for Hillary..

I don't think it's wise to insult us with that.. ".. not voting with my vagina.." talk.



Meryl Streep Interview on Environmental Health Activism

Barbra Streisand.. a Democratic political activist for so long.. I remember when John McCain told her to keep to singing and leave the politics to them.

I was so mad back then(it was during the bush2 years) that I wanted to tell her how much I appreciated her.. She didn't have an email so I wrote her snail mail.. and she wrote me back.

She said the republicans couldn't handle the message so they tried to kill the messenger



Snip from Barbra Quote~

It’s possible that her candidate, Clinton, might face Trump in a general election — and that would be “one of the greatest moments in television history,” Streisand said.

“Everybody would watch — I can’t even imagine,” Streisand said, though she expressed confidence Clinton would prevail: “I’m not worried about her.”

A couple of snips//

Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen officially endorsed her "friend" Hillary Clinton for president Saturday at a “Women for Hillary" event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Shaheen, a former three-term governor who remains popular in the state after winning a second senate term in November 2014, emphasized how much she trusts Clinton and touted her "tough as they come" strength.

Planned Parenthood, meanwhile, provides thousands of women access to affordable, non-abortion services such as reproductive health, cancer screening, and maternal and child health services.

"She will never back down on women’s reproductive rights, and will never defund planned parenthood," Shaheen said earlier to loud cheers.

Speaking of New Hamphire~


With Hassan’s endorsement, Clinton has garnered the support of New Hampshire’s top three elected women. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen endorsed Clinton two weeks ago, and U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster is also on board.

Obama says won't campaign for any Democrat who doesn't back gun reforms

President Barack Obama said on Thursday that he will not campaign for Democrats who don't back gun reforms, part of his effort to make tougher gun laws a cause in the November 2016 presidential and congressional elections.

"I will not campaign for, vote for or support any candidate, even in my own party, who does not support common-sense gun reform," Obama wrote in an op-ed column in the New York Times.

"All of us need to demand leaders brave enough to stand up to the gun lobby’s lies," Obama wrote. "All of us need to demand that governors, mayors and our representatives in Congress do their part."

Excellent! One Two Punch for Democracy and Historically speaking! This>>>>>>>>>

"But now? “I’ve travelled the world after Barack Obama—it’s cool to be American again, baby,” he said with a laugh. “People don’t know how much that means to citizens like us, who are in a celebrity position, who represents the country through our culture and through our art.”

Yet we hear from posters on this very board that President Obama has brought us down in how people view the US.

They're so hysterical.. like anyone with any knowledge at all would believe their obvious agenda.

Such a well deserved honor for Rep John Lewis.. I love what President Obama's Sec of

Navy had to say about him..

"As the first of its class, the future USNS John Lewis will play a vital role in the mission of our Navy and Marine Corps while also forging a new path in fleet replenishment," Mabus said. "Naming this ship after John Lewis is a fitting tribute to a man who has, from his youth, been at the forefront of progressive social and human rights movements in the U.S., directly shaping both the past and future of our nation."
