JaneyVee's JournalO’Malley: Bernie Sanders Is “Rewriting History” Of Obama Support In 2012
WASHINGTON — Martin O’Malley said on Sunday that Bernie Sanders needs to stop “rewriting history” about the 2012 presidential campaign and his criticism of the president
“The reelection of the president was actually a harder election than the first one, and a time that we needed people to rally and get up for the battle at hand. And that’s what I did,” O’Malley said in a phone interview with BuzzFeed News from Las Vegas, where Sanders and O’Malley are both courting the Latino vote at an immigration policy forum. “At the same time, Sen. Sanders was trying to get someone to primary the president.”
“In early 2012, there were a lot of Democrats who didn’t have the president’s back when he needed them the most. But I was not one of those, unlike Sen. Sanders, who criticized him from the sidelines or went trawling around trying to find someone to primary him,” O’Malley said. “I don’t believe that Sen. Sanders should be allowed to rewrite history.”

Democratic Group Called iVote Pushes Automatic Voter Registration
WASHINGTON — As Republicans across the country mount an aggressive effort to tighten voting laws, a group of former aides to President Obama and President Bill Clinton is pledging to counter by spending up to $10 million on a push to make voter registration automatic whenever someone gets a driver’s license.
The change would supercharge the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, known as the “motor voter” law, which requires states to offer people the option of registering to vote when they apply for driver’s licenses or other identification cards. The new laws would make registration automatic during those transactions unless a driver objected

And from the NYTimes:
She was early to call for tougher regulation of financial derivatives and private-equity markets, and in a 2007 speech called for major federal intervention in the market for subprime loans, arguing that “we need to acknowledge that Wall Street has played a significant role in our current problems, and in particular the housing crisis.”

[Exclusive] Hillary Clinton Outlines Plan to Strengthen Communities of Color.
When I started my life in public service four decades ago, it was to tear down the barriers that hold people back from developing their talents and achieving their dreams. That’s what I’m still fighting for today.
But more than half a century after Rosa Parks sat and Dr. King marched and John Lewis bled, race still plays too big a part in determining who gets ahead in America—and who gets left behind.
In America today, one in three Black men will go to prison in their lifetime. African American women earn 64 cents and Latina women 56 cents for every dollar a White man earns. African Americans are nearly three times more likely to be denied a mortgage as whites. The median Black family has just eight percent the wealth of the median White family. Two-thirds of children living in poverty today are African American or Latino. And Black children are 500 percent more likely to die from asthma than White kids.
We need a new and comprehensive commitment to equity and opportunity for communities of color. That means making major new investments to create jobs and economic opportunity, ensure equal pay for women, and end redlining in housing once and for all. It means strengthening access to credit, promoting entrepreneurship, and making it easier to start and grow a business. It means replacing the school-to-prison pipeline with a cradle-to-college pipeline, so every child can live up to his or her God-given potential.

Sierra Blanca and Bernie Sanders.
http://archives.texasobserver.org/issue/1998/09/11#page=11Since apparently my other post was hidden for quoting the EXACT HEADLINE, I'll let you be the judge.
"You're only voting for Hillary because she's a woman!"
Is interchangeable with "Af-Americans only voted for Obama because of race!".
Even though women and minorities have turned out in droves to elect every previous white male president.
Hillary has policy proposals, union endorsements, party endorsements, civil rights hero's endorsements, and is supremely qualified. She has excoriated foreign governments about human rights abuses to their faces in their own countries and has spread diplomacy and philanthropy around the globe. She has been voted most admired woman in the world 14x. She hast vast knowledge on a wide range of global and domestic issues, and is remarkable at building coalitions. And she's a proud Democrat with experience of putting her foot deep inside Republican assholes.
