WomenCount Launches – Hillary Recognizes 88th Celebration of Women’s Suffrage
The following is an account written live at the WomenCount launch event at the Democratic National Convention by members of the MOMocrats :
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney said: ( Hillary’s)
“Her candidacy was the best of times and the worst of times. I’m so proud of her. she gained. she earned 18 million votes. and she raised more money than any other candidate in history except Barack Obama. I am standing taller and I believe every woman is standing taller. Thank you Hillary Cliinton for being there and running and doing so well.”
“But it was also the worst of times for women because we saw the dark underbelly of sexism and misogyny, and like Ginger Rogers who did everything backwards and in high heels, women have more barriers to break. Someone should write a book, about women who have come so far yet still have obstacles.”
Jemu Greene: “As Madeline Albright says, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women’.”
Congresswoman from Florida, Debbie Washington Schultz:”
Congresswoman Schultz: Of the 240 women who have served in the House of Representatives, 70 are serving now. Take a look at the candidates at the WomenCount site – take a look at all of these candidates and support them. “Tonight will be a fantastic celebration of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy.”
“We need you to join us in this movement… to get this organization launched… with some of the most amazing women I’ve worked with.”
Acknowledging the the founders of WomenCount: Rosemary Compasano, Susie Tompkins Buell, Amy Rao, Stacy Mason
“This team – with your help, if you join our team, we will not just get language on sexism and gender bias on the Democratic platform; we’ll get it on the Republican platform.” (Jehmu Greene)
Greene: “With your commitment… a woman will be president!”
Senator Clinton then recognized all of the congresswomen who are present, and she recognized today as the 88th celebration of women’s suffrage.
“We cannot be deterred. We cannot be divided.” “I have served in the Senate and I do not want to see progress subverted for four more years with a Republican in the White House… but what it so great about our country is we don’t sit around wiaiting for our government to do things… that’s where citizen activism has always made a difference. The march toward women’s suffrage that ended in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment started in 1848 with the Women’s Rights Convention in New York…” Women kept at it, she said, and WomenCount is one of the organizations that takes on that good work… “WomenCount will continue to stand up against the pervasive bias that we saw in the media. WomenCount will continue to stand up and be a voice for those who feel that they are left out and left behind. There is so much work to be done and this is exciting and energizing work.”
She thanked everyone for working so hard for her.
“I will be there with you, I will work with you.” “We have made a lot of progress… but we have a lot more to do. So join with us, be part of this ongoing effort to realize the promise of America and the lives of Americans.

Ann Macnaughton’s Update On Hillary’s Nomination & Other Political Buzz
1. Gallup, “McCain, Obama remain tied at 44%”;
Rasmussen Report, ).
Rasmussen Poll: More Voters Think Obama Played Race Card Than McCain In Recent Political Mini-Firestorms Only 22% Say McCain Ad Racist, But Over Half (53%) See Obama Dollar-bill Comment That Way
2. Petition to nominate Hillary, Clinton Supporters Wondering: Will She Be Nominated at the Convention?
Let me know if you are a national delegate and have not already signed the ‘insurance policy petition’ being circulated now to protect the possibility for Hillary’s name to be placed in nomination if a critical mass of delegates beg her to reconsider and if she consents. Except for FL and MI where TWO delegates must sign to consititute ONE delegate vote, other states require only 50 delegate signatures. Please do not sign any duplicate petition, and do not sign twice, that could invalidate the entire petition.
3. Trailer for one of at least two films in production about TX flawed primary process, I have a short attention span for PC videos, but this one held my attention. Maybe that’s just because my car has been keyed ~ more than once ~ while all this has been going on.
4. Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., “The Obama Nation” $15.40 at Amazon.com; released Friday, Politically Drunk BlogSpot reports this book jumps to #1. I’ve read much of it by now. As university students in the 1960′s, Corsi and I experienced that era differently, and we hold different political opinions about many of today’s issues. But his BHO research results are consistent with mine, and his book is well written, well-documented, and has well-organized foot-notes. Worth reading (sooner, not later). Don’t skip his Preface.
5. Please join in writing automatic delegates ~ and stay in touch with elected delegates ~ to keep focus on significant ELECTABILITY issues as BHO fails to “seal the deal”. Hillary is the electable Democrat!

“Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.” Hillary Clinton
