I predict it's going to be a brilliant day in NYC on Roosevelt Island for the Country~

Edit to add~

Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park in New York City is the Perfect Place to Launch!

snip//

"A campaign official says that the event will take place at the Roosevelt Island park and be followed by a "nationally webcast organizing meeting in Iowa." Then the Democratic presidential candidate will do another campaign swing through Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.

The park celebrates Franklin Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union address highlighting the "four freedoms" : freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

"Her speech will lay out her view of the challenges facing this country and her vision and ideas for moving the country forward," the campaign said.

The park also honors Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the nation's most celebrated First Ladies."

MOre..

I guess I'm a political junkie. I guess we all are or we wouldn't be here posting lol.

But I really get into it in presidential elections.

And this can be another ground breaking election like President Obama's was.

The first female President! 2016 is going to be awesome!

Wed Jun 3, 2015, 01:42 AM

And there have been an awful lot of conservatives over the years that have called her out for it.

Also HRC has been called out as a 'nanny state liberal' for years. As Rush called her when she was FLOTUS, said she was one of the commie 'womb to the tomb' big government because of her book, 'It Takes A Village To Raise A Child.' That book also drove fundies crazy.



She's for gun control, public school funding, abortion, family planning, etc... The list is long. And accounts for a good deal of the hatred.

Take that gif and use in your OP if you want. And take a look at my post under the HRC video thread, it'll give yours spirits a boost:

Her voice. Her values. Our movement.

on this website. Let us not be baited. There is much saber rattling and taunting on these boards. I am weary of it.

I look forward to voting for her in Illinois.
