Statement from President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton on the Passing of Congressman John LewisWe have lost a giant. John Lewis gave all he had to redeem America’s unmet promise of equality and justice for all, and to create a place for us to build a more perfect union together.
From a small farm in Alabama, to life-risking service in the civil rights movement, to three decades in Congress, he was always “walking with the wind,” steered by a moral compass that told him when to make good trouble and when to heal troubled waters. Always true to his word, his faith, and his principles, John Lewis became the conscience of the nation.
Hillary and I loved John. We were blessed by his friendship, support, and wise counsel. We’ll miss him so much, but we’ll always be grateful to God for his long good life, and grateful that he lived to see a new generation of Americans take to the streets in search of his long sought “beloved community.”
Our hearts go out to his son John-Miles and the entire Lewis family, his able loyal staff, and all who loved and admired him the world over.

Hillary Clinton Checking In
Posted in Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, tagged Bill Clinton, Coronavirus, Hillary Clinton, quarantine on April 8, 2020| 14 Comments »
This is a difficult time. Medical professionals, grocery store employees, delivery drivers, mail carriers, firefighters, police, nursing home employees, and other workers are putting their health and safety on the line to get essential goods and services to the rest of the country. Meanwhile, millions of families are trying to balance work, childcare, homeschooling or distance learning, shopping, cleaning, and more — all while staying inside.
If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d like to hear from you. Tell us what you’re doing to get through this time:
As for Bill and I, we’re catching up on reading, watching TV, taking walks while keeping our distance from others, organizing and filing stacks of paper that we let pile up, and staying in touch with our grandkids. Even though these times of separation are difficult, please remember that those of us who can stay home are helping to save lives by doing so. And even though we are apart, we are stronger together.
Whatever your situation, thank you for doing your part. And if you’re struggling, know that the entire Onward Together family is thinking of you.
Stay safe and healthy,
Hillary
Bill and Hillary Clinton Lending a Hand
Posted in Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Uncategorized, tagged Bill Clinton, COVID-19, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Nick's Pizza, Westchester County New York on March 26, 2020| 4 Comments »
Not only was this deed good for the hospital staff, it was a nice boost for Mr. Nick’s.
Doctors and nurses on the front lines of the battle against coronavirus are facing unprecedented challenges. Some hospitals, especially in New York, are overwhelmed with patients, and hospital staffs are working tirelessly — sometimes without the proper protective equipment. On Thursday, one hospital in the area received a meaningful thank-you gesture from some famous New York residents. “Amazing !!! I am an ER doctor at Dobbs Ferry NY and just received pizza from the Clintons,” tweeted Dr. Angela Cirilli, who works at St. John’s Riverside Hospital and Dobbs Ferry Emergency Medicine in Westchester County.
“Thank you !!!! We NEED LEADERS LIKE YOU in this tough time. So much gratitude I didn’t know how else to reach you to say thank you – Angela cirilli, MD,” her tweet continued.
Hillary Clinton: Progress Isn’t Easy
Posted in Bill Clinton, Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, tagged Bill Clinton, Caribbean, Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Puerto Rico on February 23, 2020| 15 Comments »
The hurricanes that have devastated the Caribbean region — including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Dominica, and the Bahamas — serve as a stark reminder that climate change is real and makes all of us more vulnerable and interdependent.
When more than 3.4 million people were impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the Clinton Foundation answered the call for assistance from local leaders and launched the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Action Network on Post-Disaster Recovery.
When Bill and I were in Puerto Rico this week, we met with CGI partners and local residents who are committed to improving livelihoods for themselves and their neighbors. I was especially moved by the dedicated staff at a maternal health clinic which has been solarized by an equally amazing team of women solar technicians trained by one of our CGI partners. Their collaboration epitomizes what this work is all about and demonstrates what we can accomplish when we all work together.
Working with 700+ partners, the CGI Action Network is helping affected communities recover, rebuild, and become more resilient. And Network members were among the first to respond when Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas and recent earthquakes crippled Puerto Rico. Recovery takes time, and they still need our help.
Despite of all the polarization in our country, we’re still in this together, and with your help, we can continue to bring hope, resources, and our shared humanity to our neighbors in need.
Sincerely,
Hillary

Make that Proud Hillary.
On Thursday night, Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, along with ten of her closest childhood friends, took in a performance of “Tina – The Tina Turner Musical.”
As the curtain comes down on Act I, the ensemble chants “Tina! Tina! Tina” following a pivotal moment in the legendary performer’s career. When curtain descended on Thursday, the sold-out crowd burst into applause for the show which quickly transitioned the audience intoning, “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!”

“If you worried about my age, it was unnecessary,” she said. Ginsburg is now 86 and entering her 27th year on the court. She and the Clintons reminisced about the old days at an annual lecture named for her.
Bill Clinton repeated that he knew within 10 minutes of interviewing then-Judge Ginsburg that he would offer her the job, although his first choice was New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.

Hillary Clinton said she liked to think she had something to do with Ginsburg’s nomination as well. “I may have expressed an opinion or two about people he should move up” the list of possibilities, she said.

His daughter Adia quoted Eminem. Kweisi Mfume quoted Sartre and Frost. Staffer Harry Spikes quoted Bruce Lee and The Lion King. And, of course, many quoted Elijah Eugene Cummings, aka ‘Bobby.’ It was a celebratory sendoff for a true Lion of the House. The recessional was ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ as you have never heard it before. We will not see his like.
Elijah Cummings was a resounding voice of moral courage who fought the good fights for the people of Baltimore, and faithfully honored his oath to protect and defend the Constitution with a passion, skill, determination, and dignity rarely matched in our history. He worked for affordable, quality health care, educational and economic opportunities, and environmental justice for all Americans. And he led the House Committee on Oversight and Reform in finding facts, exposing fictions, and demanding that our government be accountable. Hillary and I are grateful to have served with him and for his friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with Maya and the Cummings family.
Congressman Cummings had a simple philosophy: Do something. No matter how daunting a problem seems, no matter how helpless you feel, surely there is something you can do.
Those are the words Elijah lived by, and the path he left for the rest of us to follow.
God Bless him.

Hillary Clinton visited her daughter Chelsea and her newborn grandson Jasper in the hospital on Tuesday.
The former Secretary of State, 71, was photographed walking into Lenox Hill Hospital on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where her daughter Chelsea, 39, gave birth on Monday morning.
Hillary beamed as she was seen exiting an SUV shortly after lunchtime and walking into the medical facility to make her second visit to her daughter and grandson in as many days, having only left the hospital late on Monday evening.

@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!
