Go Hillary!

     If ever there was a time to stand up for someone and support her, the time is now.  Hillary Rodham Clinton amazed me yesterday with her stamina, her clearness of thought, and her patience, her cool under fire.  If she can put up with, and overcome, all the bullying displayed by Tea Party Republicans at their trumped-up Benghazi hearing, she can put up with any mud thrown at her.

     Let's be clear.  Politics is not an easy game to play.  It is particularly dirty when women are reaching for equality, cracking the glass ceiling, becoming the first President of the U.S. who is a woman.  It's reminiscent of early feminists like Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony.  All they were asking for was the right to their own property, to control their own lives, and later, the right to vote.  Hillary is continuing that struggle.  For anyone advocating for the rights of women (or girls just reaching for the stars), support for Hillary is a must.  Go Hillary!
