Excerpts from the endorsement:
Hearing her talk about the presidency, her policies and answers for America’s big problems, we are hugely impressed by the depth of her knowledge, by the force of her intellect and by the breadth of, yes, her experience.
We know that she is capable of both uniting and leading. We saw her going town by town through New York in 2000, including places where Clinton-bashing was a popular sport. She won over skeptical voters and then delivered on her promises and handily won re-election in 2006.

Just days before the State of the Union Address, Hillary Clinton urged the current administration to take immediate action to jumpstart the ailing economy. She outlined the solutions that can be taken now to fix the mortgage crisis and get more money in the pockets of Americans who need it the most. She also provided a vision of how she would lead the country to robust economic growth as President.
“Our economic problems are complex. But there is one thing we know for sure: the problem with our economy is not the American people. Instead, the problem is – in part – the bankrupt ideas of President Bush and the Republicans that rewarded the few and left so many people to fend for themselves in a time of great change,” said Clinton. “I’ve been listening to the voices of the American people as I’ve traveled this country. The voices of people who work hard all day – then on the night shift – but it’s still not enough. They’re simply overwhelmed.”

Chelsea just sent this email to Hillary’s supporters:
I love talking to
people who are thinking about supporting my mom — about why I
believe in her and why I support her as a young American, a woman,
and her daughter!
I also love talking to people who already
support my mom’s campaign. Every day, when people tell me they’re
voting for my mom, putting their faith in her, using their voice to
encourage others to support her and working hard for her, I grow
more proud.

The Clinton campaign today reinforced its commitment to protect a woman’s right to make the most fundamental decisions about her life and health and announced a comprehensive agenda for women’s reducing unintended pregnancy and enhancing access to reproductive health care. The announcement comes on the 35th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade and follows the news of the endorsement of WCLA–Choice Matters, one of the oldest pro-choice advocacy organizations in the nation.
“When I’m President, I will appoint judges to our courts who understand that Roe v. Wade isn’t just binding legal precedent, it is the touchstone of our reproductive freedom, the embodiment of our most fundamental rights, and no one – no judge, no governor, no Senator, no President – has the right to take it away.”

Real Solutions: “Universal health care is a core Democratic principle. I am willing to go to the mat for it. I’ve been there before. I will be there again.
