Lady Warrior: Takin Back the White House

After suspending her campaign - Brooklyn High School - enter Hillary stage left. A promise kept. An event attended {welcome to Brooklyn High and welcome to this event}. With grace our hero fights on. Leading by her heart, word and deeds.


So my heart was warmed today when I read a post by writerchick on HillaryClintonForum.net about Hillary's latest deeds. Hillary's heart belongs to the Wesleyan Church or Wesleyan Methodism as it was earlier called. The Wesleyan believe that "Faith with out works is dead." Interestingly enough the Wesleyan Methodists have been at the front lines of the women's rights battle: "In addition to anti-slavery, the early Wesleyan Methodists championed the rights of women. The Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York hosted the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848, also known as the Seneca Falls Convention. It is commemorated by the Women's Rights National Historical Park in the village today." So walking in her faith - poised, clear headed, and determined to do good things.

WASHINGTON - July 24 - The American Civil Liberties Union applauds Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Representative Michael Honda (D-CA) for introducing a bill that protects the rights of English language learners. “Strengthening Communities Through English and Integration Act of 2008” will increase investment in English literacy programs, business support for adult education and training programs as well as other local strategies for integrating immigrant communities. The following can be attributed to Joanne Lin, ACLU Legislative Counsel: “The ACLU applauds Senator Clinton and Representative Honda for introducing a language rights bill. The ‘Strengthening Communities Through English and Integration Act of 2008’ will accelerate the integration of immigrant communities.

“Over 50 million people speak a language other than English at home. An estimated 11 million to 21 million U.S. citizens and permanent residents with limited English proficiency live in the United States. Nearly 20 percent of our population cannot understand English to a degree that allows them to interact with government, schools, businesses, medical providers and emergency personnel.”

DELAWARE ELECTRIC - July 24 - Senator Hillary Clinton is asking the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to support a renewable energy plan proposed by Delaware County. The proposed plan would take water at the Cannonsville Reservoir along with three others in upstate New York and produce enough clean energy to power about 20,000 homes. Senator Clinton stressed the project is critical to these reservoir communities because their economic development options have been limited in order to protect the watershed.
I used to have this re-occurring image in my head through out the campaign and it was of Hillary in a long flowing robe, her hair long and blond, small strands pulled back to the sides; her hands are folded in front of her and she is moving fast towards a bell that she eventually rings. When that image would flash through my head I took it as a sign that she was going to win. Hillary will win because she will follow her heart, grow as a woman & person, push her boundaries, shake off any more fears - not sure if there are any left at this point and live her life with a boundless sense of purpose. Our girl, our Hillary, our hero will always be a winner and a warrior.

Puma cats roar. Carry the banner - fighting - meowwwwww. Puma daddy cat roars. We're takin back the White House. Puma mama roars meet me in Denver. We're takin back back the White House.
