One hundred and eighty-eight years ago, the United States was the very first country to recognize Brazil’s independence. This September 7th, we again join Brazilians around the world in celebrating your rich culture, your history of achievement, and to honor the close friendship between our two countries.
When I visited Brazil in March, I had the opportunity to meet with leaders in government, the private sector, students, and so many others working to improve the quality of life for all Brazilians. Brazil’s leadership on climate change and clean energy, on food security and income equality, on social inclusion and education has earned regional and international recognition. Your upcoming elections are an opportunity to demonstrate once again that respect for democratic governance, civil rights and individual liberties is the surest path to prosperity. These common values are the foundation for the strong partnership between our countries as we work together to address the regional and global challenges of our time.
Whether you celebrate this day by watching the parade on the Esplanada, or enjoying the air show in the skies of Brasilia, or simply gathering with friends and family, you represent the progress that Brazil has made and will continue to make in the years ahead. I wish all Brazilians a safe and happy Independence Day celebration. And I look forward to continuing the close relationship between our countries, not only this year but in the years ahead, as we work together toward a safer, more peaceful, prosperous world.

Hillary Clinton’s Cover Letter to Congress on the ARB Report

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
"I deeply resent those who attack our country, the generosity of our people and the leadership of our president in trying to respond to historically disastrous conditions after the earthquake." - HRC 01-26-10
Good Advice!
“You can’t keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. Eventually those snakes are going to turn on whoever has them in the backyard.” HRC
Hillary! Leadership we need!
Politics & Foreign Policy
"What I have always found is that when it comes to foreign policy, it is important to remember that politics stops at the water's edge." -HRC 11-04-10
What a difference one woman can make!
"...whether it’s here, in the absolute best embassy in the world, or whether it’s in Washington, or whether it’s elsewhere, what a difference one woman can make. And that woman is right here, the woman who needs no introduction, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton." 07.05.10 - Unidentified speaker, Embassy Yerevan
Most Respected
"So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you your Secretary of State, and perhaps the most respected person on the world stage today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton." - Jon Huntsman 05-23-2010
