Always such a joy to march in Chappaqua’s Memorial Day parade.

Former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joined New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to call for the codification of abortion rights into New York state law and promote the Reproductive Health Act at a rally held at Barnard’s Diana Center on Monday morning.In past years, the issue of abortion rights has seen significant opposition by State Senate Republicans in New York, who lost majority control of the chamber in midterm elections in November. Currently, in-state abortion laws—written three years before the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case—prohibit abortions after 24 weeks unless necessary to save the woman’s life. Roe v. Wade, which has faced greater scrutiny by increasingly conservative federal courts, upholds a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy by abortion before the third trimester.Through the proposed RHA, abortion would be decriminalized and put into public health law—a step expected to occur during the legislative session starting this Wednesday. Cuomo also announced that he will be proposing a state constitutional amendment to enshrine rights granted by Roe v. Wade into the New York State Constitution.
Parts of the old bridge, which I loved in a sentimental way for all the nights I spent looking at the lights, are still visible, but there is no doubt that the new Tappan Zee Bridge, a graceful double span is a beautiful 21st century successor. Until today, only one of the new spans was in use. With today’s dedication ceremony, during which the structure was officially named for the late Mario Cuomo, both spans are now open and in use.
As former New York Senator and friend and supporter of Governor Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton was on hand for the event and spoke.
Proud to have the endorsement and friendship of Secretary @HillaryClinton and glad she could join us for the opening of the Mario M. Cuomo bridge today. Vote Thursday, Sept. 13th. pic.twitter.com/kHNlTadgc2
Hillary knew Mario Cuomo and admired him. She often quoted him on the campaign trail, so it is no surprise that she will take part in this event honoring his memory.

ALBANY — When Gov. Cuomo opens the eastbound span of the new Tappan Zee Bridge — now named after his father — on Friday, he’ll get help from fellow Westchester County resident Hillary Clinton.
“Secretary Clinton is a long time friend of the Cuomo family and will be on hand for festivities,” a source said. “She is expected to speak at the event that both celebrates the opening of the bridge that connects Westchester and Rockland Counties and is one of the nation’s largest infrastructure projects in the last 20 years.”
The new bridge will be named the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. Some have called the old Tappan Zee name to be tacked on as well, but Cuomo said a new bridge should get a new name.
NEW CASTLE – Hillary and Bill Clinton and Gov. Andrew Cuomo marched in Monday’s town Memorial Day parade.
The marchers wound down King Street where thousands of people lined the streets waving American flags and cheering the parade participants. A few held signs in memory of family members killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
“I’m just very grateful,” Hillary Clinton said in an interview with reporters during the march. “This is a way of honoring and respecting and remembering everyone who has fought for and sacrificed for our freedom.”
According to all reports, this nomination came as it should have, in a calm and civilized fashion with Cuomo receiving something north of 90% of the vote.
Last year, we all were so sure that this year she would be at Arlington laying wreaths. That was not to be. But despite the rain and chilly temps, Hillary marched in Chappaqua today with former President Bill Clinton and Governor Andrew Cuomo. The pipes and drums braved the weather in their rain gear. Our friend Oscar Flores marched too, as always!

Hillary Clinton joined Gov. Cuomo in Queens Wednesday to promote his new tuition-free plan for New York’s public colleges.
“You move to New York you can get an affordable college education,” said Clinton, as Cuomo sign a bill at LaGuardia Community College to launch the program this fall at CUNY and SUNY.
“That would only be fair for young people who come here. I hope it will be the first of many states [that offer free tuition],” she said.
Hillary visited the Stonewall Inn, designated a national landmark, and marched in the Pride Parade with Governor Cuomo, Mayor deBlasio, and Reverend Al Sharpton. Earlier in the day she held a brunch fundraiser close to home.

@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
