U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton vows to “keep fighting for equal pay for equal work” for women. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
This really matters to me
When Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass, and 97 other brave women and men signed their names to the Declaration of Sentiments in Seneca Falls 167 years ago today, they sparked a movement that altered the course of history.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” they wrote, “that all men and women are created equal.” All men and women — incredible how just two words could change millions of lives.
We cannot forget the heroes who went to jail and even died to give women the right to vote, earn and keep wages, own property, serve in the military, and hold elected office. We owe it to our daughters and granddaughters to continue the march of progress in America and around the world.
We must keep fighting for equal pay, especially for women of color, who often lose out the most. We must fight for equal access to good jobs, good health care, and good child care, for the rights of women to make our own reproductive health decisions, and to make sure that every little girl in America can be anything she wants when she grows up — even President of the United States.
The full participation of women and girls in our society is more than an issue of fairness; it’s also a smart way to grow our economy. When women aren’t paid fairly, families lose out on thousands of dollars every year that could go toward paying for groceries or rent, saving for retirement, or sending a child to college. When we fight for equality, we fight for a better future for all of our children.
Sign your name to declare your support for equality and pledge to redouble our efforts to finish the work that began in Seneca Falls:

Thank you,
Hillary
Vote for Hillary. There are a few webpolls out there and I never pass up a chance to cast a vote – it feels good even though it is meaningless.

New Poll out today and Hillary is still ahead of Dems by at least 50% nationally, and she jumps way higher when they remove Biden from the list since they say she gets his backers and she jumps from 63% to 68 when not offered Biden as a choice. 63 – 68% for Hillary vs 14% Bernie has been static all along.
Flat line still for Bernie.

Did you all see her facebook page Q & A? She answered 4 reporter questions and some from the public too about a wide range of topics. Some fun and some very serious.
