HILLARY CLINTON HOLD WIDE LEADS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

HILLARY CLINTON HOLD WIDE LEADS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

According to a poll-Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is leading their rival candidates by wide margins in South Carolina.

Among Democratic voters, Clinton leads Bernie Sanders with a 19-point lead. She received 59% support, which is slightly down from last month, but still a solid lead over Sanders’ 40%. Many of South Carolina’s Democratic voters are African-American, and Clinton has received a lot of support from that group in the state. Sanders has strong support among white voters and young voters, which helped him tremendously in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The Republican primary in South Carolina is set for Feb. 20, and the Democratic primary is scheduled for the following week.

Why I Have Switched from Bernie to Hillary - JHANNON

Why I Have Switched from Bernie to Hillary - JHANNON

 

 

I'm tired of idealistic campaign rhetoric. When Trump talks about we're just gonna win, win, win, big wall, smack China, we know it's all bluster. Bernie talks about single payer and free college tuition for all but that is no more realistic with this Congress than a magic wall. I don't even WANT free college tuition for affluent young people. In some countries they can do it because relatively few go to universities--not so here. It's completely unbelievable.

And then I watched the debates. I have a lot of reservations about Hillary Clinton. There are things she has done and votes, e.g., Iraq, she has cast that I can't accept. But I watched the debates. She is intelligent, composed, and knowledgeable across the board. We can argue about labels but Clinton is a liberal with a liberal voting record. Is she too hawkish? I think so. I think she is too pro-Israel. But I don't think she's reckless. She had positions and rhetoric on criminal justice twenty years ago that I didn’t like but I think she has learned and grown as progressive people do.

And unlike Obama, whom I respect greatly, she would not make the mistake of thinking her personal charisma will create a kumbaya wave in Washington. She knows the Republicans well enough to call them "my enemy." She will go after them rather than try to convert them.

Finally, I am sick of the Hillary-bashing. I can't think of another politician in my conscious lifetime who has caught more shit than she, from people making the White House travel office a cause celebre to accusing her of killing her friend, Vince Foster, to Whitewater, to being (gasp!) a lesbian, or shrew, or thick-legged (gasp, again) to Benghazi, to ...fill in the blank. And it is misogynistic. I know people who consider her laughably dishonest and I ask them, what exactly, has she lied about? Oh, they say, everyone knows--because they have been exposed to relentless bashing of her that has not been refuted strongly enough by people on the left.

I am a socialist feminist. I believe there is no true socialism without feminism and no true feminism without socialism. I have worked in various ways to further both causes. As a citizen of the country I have a more particular responsibility to vote for the person I think is best qualified at this particular moment for what can well be considered the most important position in the world. I have decided that is Hillary Clinton.

Don’t Let Congress Run Out the Clock on 13.5 Million Workers

Don’t Let Congress Run Out the Clock on 13.5 Million Workers

This summer, the Department of Labor (DOL) is expected to implement a new overtime rule, which would raise the overtime salary threshold from $23,660 to $50,440, strengthening the right of 13.5 million additional workers to receive overtime pay and the right to earn a fair living.

 

Unfortunately, our opponents in Congress are eager to steal this victory from workers by running out the clock on one of President Obama’s signature economic achievements. The Congressional Review Act dictates that all “major” rules are delayed for 60 legislative days after they are submitted to Congress and are subject to a “fast track” process for repeal. That process has to end before President Obama leaves office to guarantee a veto of any Congressional resolution of disapproval.

 

If the DOL does not act soon, Congress will reverse this critical protection for millions of workers.

 

let us elect Mrs Hillary Clinton to stop this .

BE WITH MRS HILLARY CLINTON TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS

BE WITH MRS HILLARY CLINTON TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS

 

As a Mother , I’m beyond disappointed

As a Mother , I’m beyond disappointed

Seeing the number of Americans who supported Donald Trump last night is shocking.

I’m a mother.

I don’t want our daughters growing up in an America that embraces Donald Trump’s sexism.

I don’t want our daughters to have a President who calls women “ugly” and repeatedly attacks female journalists and leaders.

As our daughters grow into young women, I can’t imagine explaining why their President treats women differently than men.

We cannot expect girls to grow up believing in themselves with someone like Trump as the President of our country. That’s why we all need to join together today and denounce him. Will you add your name to our petition and denounce his sexism?

Now more than ever, Democrats must take a strong stance against sexism.

We must rebuke candidates who talk down to, dismiss, and mock women simply because they can.

We should be building a nation where both genders feel empowered and heard. Where women and girls are respected and recognized as capable and equals. That is the progressive America we deserve.

If Americans join together right now to denounce Donald Trump, I know that we will defeat him. But it’s going to take all of us working together.
That’s why I’m asking for your help.
            
            

Thank you for your support, Kelly Ward DCCC Executive Director

Hence , it is time to elect Mrs Hillary Clinton as the next U.S.A's President

Can you join me in denouncing Trump’s racism?

I am a Muslim American.

A few months ago, Donald Trump announced his intention to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Following Trump's historic win in the Republican New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, his intention to ban Muslims also took a step closer to reality.

Trump's prejudice is representative of a dangerous sentiment in the Republican Party, echoed by other Presidential candidates and adopted by party rank and file. It's a sentiment filled with hate, anger and racism.

I am the son of Indian immigrants. Hardworking parents that came to this country for a better life. Through their hard work, they provided me opportunities that they only dreamed of.

This is the promise of America, and this is the promise we must keep alive for future generations of all faiths.

Can you join me in denouncing Trump’s racism?

We are a country of different faiths, bound by a belief that our differences only make us stronger -- and that together, we can build a better America.

I'm asking you for your help, not as a Muslim -- but as a son, a husband, and as an American.

Let’s denounce Trump, together.

Thank you, Mansoor Khadir DCCC Northeast Field Director

Hence , there is an immediate need to denounce Trump and to elect Mrs. Hillary Clinton as the Next U.S President

10 months ago, I launched my campaign for president. Here are the things I’ll never forget- Hillary Clinton

10 months ago, I launched my campaign for president. Here are the things I’ll never forget- Hillary Clinton

Back in April, I began my journey as a presidential candidate with a visit to Iowa. Today — nearly 10 months and 160,000 miles of travel later — our campaign has come full circle: America’s first voters are about to begin electing our next president.

I knew I’d present my vision for where our economy should be in the 21st century. I knew we’d talk about national security, about how we can build on and improve the Affordable Care Act, and about my proposals to support small businesses, raise wages, and create good-paying jobs.

And of course, some topics have come into even sharper focus over the past few months: the threat of global terror, the need to take action on gun violence, attacks on reproductive health and rights, the epidemic of violence facing the transgender community, the need to take on systemic racism and stand up to bullies, the crisis in Flint.

I’ve introduced specific proposals for creating debt-free public college tuition, preventing and treating Alzheimer’s disease, supporting families affected by autism, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and curbing the substance abuse epidemic.

I got into this race because I want to improve the lives of all Americans — 

and I’m going to continue to work my heart out. I hope you’ll join me.
