82. Tweet from Hillary!

"I'm here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values," the former secretary of state, 69, tweeted before the swearing-in ceremony. "I will never stop believing in our country & its future. #Inauguration."

Hillary Clinton's Name Was Omitted From the Women's March Honoree List and People Are Angry

snip//

On Thursday, January 19, the movement released a document about its guiding vision and definition of principles, which included the names of 27 women who have "paved the way" for equal rights. Clinton, who was the first-ever female presidential nominee for a major political party, was not among them — and people took notice.

A petition on Change.org was created in light of the omission. "As activists and allies, we are dismayed that March organizers excluded Hillary Rodham Clinton as an honoree who has inspired women around the world to serve and to lead," the request reads.

Without giving her credit? No. That is just wrong lunamagica Jan 2017 #139
Then they shouln't quote her without giving her credit. Or you think that's OK? lunamagica Jan 2017 #138
