Hillary Clinton takes part in community forum in Milwaukee


MILWAUKEE — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took part in a “Community Forum on Gun Violence Prevention” in Milwaukee on Tuesday morning, March 29th. The forum was held at Tabernacle Baptist Church on Milwaukee’s north side — in a Zip code that sees its fair share of gun violence.

Clinton spoke to about 300 people. Her message — that she plans to take on the gun lobby in Washington and fight for stricter background checks.

The church’s reverend introduced Clinton to the crowd, saying he is glad gun violence is being talked about on the national stage — and on the campaign trail..................

Hillary continues to address important issues. Yesterday she was in Madison WI speaking about how the GOP is obstructing Obama's SC nominee---(she hit on Trump--not Sanders). Today she speaks out about gun violence. Keep up the good work and focus on issues important to us.

McCrory blames ‘inaccurate’ news stories for backlash against NC LGBT law

But new law revokes local nondiscrimination ordinances

In his first news conference since signing a controversial bill on LGBT discrimination, Gov. Pat McCrory said Monday that the outcry from dozens of major corporations is due to news reports that are “distorting the truth” and “smearing our state.”

McCrory spoke with reporters after a groundbreaking event for Novo Nordisk in Clayton. He said reports that House Bill 2 revokes discrimination protections are wrong.

“We have not taken away any rights that have currently existed in any city in North Carolina, from Raleigh to Durham to Chapel Hill to Charlotte,” he said. “Every city and every corporation have the exact same nondiscrimination policy this week as they had two weeks ago.”

.....................
The new law creates a new statewide discrimination policy that doesn’t protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It says the statewide policy will “supersede and pre-empt” all local ordinances on the subject – effectively revoking several city ordinances that specifically banned discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. The law was triggered by a Charlotte nondiscrimination ordinance allowing transgender people to use bathrooms of the gender with which they identify.

Republican legislators have said a single uniform statewide policy is less confusing for businesses and that cities and towns never had the power to enact their own nondiscrimination ordinances. They rejected Democrats’ attempts to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the state policy, saying the terms are too confusing.

............................
“You’re blindsiding me with a question,” McCrory said. “I’ve been traveling all day, so you’re telling me something I’m not aware of.”

....................

McCrory said the news media is to blame for the outcry against the new law. “I frankly think some of the media has failed miserably in communicating the clear facts,” he said, specifically naming national publications such as The New York Times and The Washington Post.

.......................

Opposition from the business community continued to mount Monday, with the state’s biggest furniture market saying the law will result in “significant economic damage.”

The annual High Point Market said that “dozens” of its customers have said they won’t attend the April event, which draws 75,000 people.

“Based on the reaction in just the last few days, hundreds and perhaps thousands of our customers will not attend Market this April,” the High Point Market Authority said in a news release, adding that it “does not discriminate, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity.”

80% of Bernie Sanders supporters in California plan to vote for Hillary Clinton in November

THANK YOU CALIFORNIANS



[b80% of Bernie Sanders supporters in California plan to vote for Hillary Clinton in November


http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/80-of-bernie-sanders-supporters-in-california-plan-to-vote-for-hillary-clinton-in-november/24276/


By Bill Palmer | March 28, 2016


My study of second-choice polling data all the way back in September told me that once Hillary Clinton became the democratic nominee, around eighty-five percent of Bernie Sanders supporters nationwide would get behind her and vote for her in November. The other fifteen percent? Well, we’ve been witnessing them having one meltdown after another across social media this week. But the point is that they’re a rather small, if disturbingly loud and obsessive, minority of Bernie’s base. And they can safely be ignored, because today we received some new hard data which backs up my premise of forthcoming party unity.

With the California democratic primary vote still more than two months away on June 7th, there is still the possibility that Bernie Sanders could win the state, even though he’s 2.6 million votes behind Hillary Clinton nationwide and he has no chance of winning the nomination. New polling from USC and the Los Angeles Times places Hillary Clinton eight points ahead in the state, while the PPIC poll says Hillary is seven points ahead, meaning California still potentially up for grabs for Bernie. But even with Sanders fans in California still holding out hope of handing him victory there, that same polling reveals that eighty percent of Bernie fans say they’ll vote for Hillary in November.

In other words, most Bernie supporters in California already know he’s not going to be the nominee, and most of them are already willing to say out loud to a pollster that they’ll vote for Hillary Clinton when the time comes.............

'BERNED OUT'!: Rosario Dawson, how dare you lecture Dolores Huerta?

Rosario Dawson, how dare you lecture Dolores Huerta?

If labor activist Huerta has concerns about Bernie Sanders, let’s listen to them. Don’t insult her integrity by calling her an ‘instrument of the establishment’



Last modified on Sunday 27 March 2016 13.34 EDT


Despite the most recent primary results, Bernie Sanders is still losing to Hillary Clinton. In my opinion, it’s not because he has bad ideas, but because his campaign strategy is to portray himself as an exemplar of moral virtue and Clinton as evil incarnate. Not only that, he decries anyone who doesn’t agree with him as a corrupt sell-out. Some of his supporters seem to agree.

When legendary farm labor, feminist, and voting rights activist Dolores Huerta published an op-ed saying she didn’t know enough about Sanders to vote for him, citing his inconsistent record on immigration and his lack of presence in the United Farm Workers struggle (that’s the labor union she co-founded with the late Cesar Chavez), the person who spoke up on Sanders’ behalf was an actress who once played Huerta in a poorly received biopic of Chavez. Rosario Dawson, a 36-year-old from New York City whose Latino ancestors hail from Puerto Rico, a US territory, and Cuba, the beneficiary of an open-door US immigration policy these last 57 years, wrote an op-ed in the Huffington Post lecturing Huerta.

“I am surprised, dismayed, and concerned that you would do your legacy such a disservice by becoming an instrument of the establishment, rather than joining this movement to create a better America like you once inspired us to do,” Dawson said.

Forget that Huerta not only cofounded the UFW but has dedicated six decades to fighting on the front lines of the workers’ rights movement. She’s been arrested 22 times while demonstrating for the cause and was even hospitalized in 1988 – as a grandmother – with two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen while protesting President George HW Bush’s opposition to the UFW grape boycott. Forget all of it. Dawson has declared Huerta’s legacy destroyed on Bernie’s behalf.



In case there was any doubt as to whether Sanders approved of her message, Dawson was subsequently picked to introduce him at speaking events in San Diego and Los Angeles, where she told crowds to be wary of the media. She spoke of how she been registering Latino voters for 11 years through Voto Latino. Good for her. Dolores Huerta has been doing it for 56, since back when that kind of thing could get you lynched.

The whole episode smacks of the Sanders’ overall style, one that, in the words of former Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank, “alienates his natural allies”.

Frank once said of Sanders: “His holier-than-thou attitude – saying in a very loud voice he is smarter than everyone else and purer than everyone else – really undercuts his effectiveness ... To him, everyone who disagrees with him is a crook.”


I suppose that, in addition to Huerta, UFW president Arturo Rodriguez (Cesar Chavez’s son-in-law, who has been fighting with the UFW since 1973), is a crook, too. He also wrote an op-ed questioning Bernie Sanders’ voting record on immigration.............................................

As California primary nears, even Sanders supporters are uniting behind Clinton and against a c

Great news from California ---for all of us.



Poll As California primary nears, even Sanders supporters are uniting behind Clinton and against a common enemy: Trump

David LauterDavid LauterContact Reporter

Most of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters in California say they expect that come November, Hillary Clinton will be elected president — and, by and large, they're OK with that.

While both Democratic camps prepare for a final battle in the state’s June 7 primary, the latest USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times statewide poll found that just over half of Sanders’ supporters said they expected Clinton to be the next president. About a third of Sanders’ backers said they expected the Vermont senator to emerge the winner, and 12% said they thought Donald Trump would prevail.

Close to 8 in 10 Sanders supporters said in the survey that they would vote for Clinton in a race against Trump, although many said they would do so reluctantly.

Those findings show the reality underlying the still-heated rhetoric of the Democratic primaries: By contrast with the civil war that divides Republicans, Democrats in the country’s largest state have begun to coalesce behind their front-runner.

In the primary race, Clinton holds a modest lead over Sanders, 45% to 37%, among all Democrats and independent voters eligible to vote. Her lead is slightly larger, 47% to 36%, among those most likely to vote. Either way, that’s a significant problem for Sanders............................

"there just is not enough real estate for him-Sanders- to overtake the commanding lead"

Love Benenson---he is a great spokesperson for Hillary--articulate and to the point. Also love his comment about Sanders running out of real estate!!





Bernie Sanders has a plan to hijack Hillary Clinton's superdelegates

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/la-na-bernie-sanders-superdelegates-20160328-story.html



Evan Halper


March 28

As the Bernie Sanders campaign accepts the reality that securing enough votes at this point to win the Democratic nomination outright is impossible, it has moved on to a new phase in its long-shot bid for the White House: hijack Hillary Clinton’s so-called superdelegates.

Sanders advisors are targeting these party leaders and elected officials who have outsized influence in deciding who gets to be the Democratic nominee, ..................


Clinton has 469 of them in her corner. Sanders has just 29.

.......................
..........................

Still, the plan is not exactly alarming the Clinton campaign, which revealed on Monday that it expects to have the nomination locked up by the end of next month.



“We are going to get to the point where, at the end of April, there just is not enough real estate for him to overtake the commanding lead that we’ve built up,” Clinton pollster Joel Benenson said on a call with reporters....


By then, Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania will have voted. Even if Sanders narrowly wins those states, Benenson said, the delegate gap between him and Clinton will still be immense, without even factoring in superdelegates. And polling shows Clinton poised to do well in those contests.

Benenson also pointed out that Clinton has so far won about 2.5 million more votes than Sanders nationwide, which suggests that even if the superdelegates abandoned her in states where the Vermonter has done well, even more of them would have reason to stay put...............
