Hillary Raises the Bar….

Fifteen years after her famous speech in Bejing, Secretary Hillary Clinton raised the bar declaring:
“Women’s progress is human progress, and human progress is women’s progress once and for all.”
You can read and watch more of Secretary Clinton’s remarks at the UN Commission on the Status of Women here.
Thank you Hillary for continuing to be a leading voice for women and girls around the world!
Yes! Think You Hillary for never backing down and fighting for women and girls regardless of how difficult it is and how much heat you have to take for doing so. You are a true SHERO for all of us, and knowing that you’re out their fighting brings comfort and hope to millions of us around the world.
GODDESS SPEED
went to “here. her entire speech published at the State dept site is worthwhile your time. she spells out the global lack of equal rights and how womens participation in the economy and government are essential for everybody’s well being. drawing the connection how breeches against women’s human rights are destabilizing societies and global peace.
I think I loved Hillary Clinton more than most, and this is why the last two years have been heartbreaking for me. And now, with the passage of the most definitely unconstitutional, nonrepresentative, anti-women from birth until death health care sham-cum-money-power-grab by the Obamanation I have to ask “where is Hillary?” Where is Hillary speaking out against this money grab from seniors. Where is Hillary speaking out against the government take over of our medical system AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? Where is Hillary speaking out against the provisions of this sham bill that hurt women AND THERE ARE MANY including preventing women from getting abortions and charging them more for the same medical care that men get? Where is Hillary speaking out against this sham bill on the grounds that it quadruples the size and cost of the IRS? Where is Hillary speaking out against this sham bill on the grounds that it allows the government to take over the student loan industry? Where is Hillary speaking out against this sham bill on the grounds that it is a big disaster medically for this country (and if you don’t realize this take head out of sand and wake the up)? Medicare patients ALREADY (i.e. prior to this bill allowing 30 million more onto the medicaid/medicare rolls) can hardly get decent care and many doctors turn them away because it costs more to treat them than the government will pay. AND, for the record, anyone with money in France, Ireland, and Canada comes to America to PURCHASE good medical care (oh, and you can add all the Africans and Saudis too). Rationed health care IS health care when the government gives it to you and there is no one to complain to except Mr. Obama.
Finally, where is Hillary Rodham Clinton when her people need her most? This country is on the precipice of losing it all and this health care sham bill might just be the BIGGEST LIE ever told to the American people. Inside the 2700 plus pages of this abomination, if you took the time to read it, is more evil than you can imagine with the worst evil being the spending of trillions of dollars we do not have in a time when other countries are wondering if America is going to falter economically to the point where they will not invest in our country. At that point, when countries like China (our ‘enemy’ who is buying up massive land in America as well as our debt) and Russia stop giving us financial help, we will become like other countries who have spent their money unwisely. $1000.00 = one meal. Think about it. Think about what it will mean when American currency is worthless. And remember this day. And all the crying in the world will not bring back the opportunity we had to change things. But it appears that the American spirit is dead because the American spirit that founded America on a dream of something better than tryanny and greed would be up, in arms. in Washington throwing these criminals in jail. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Donna Brazille, Barack Obama, every single one of them belongs in jail waiting to be tried for crimes against this country and her people. But instead they are on the front pages of newspapers across this country talking about history. History may have been made yesterday, but it was a black black day in American history when lies become laws and hardly anyone notices.
Finally, the answer to where Hillary Rodham Clinton is is that she is in Obama’s administration propping him up. Yes, I am putting words to what has hurt me so badly that there is no salve that will fix it. Hillary Clinton is assisting Mr. Obama and those behind him in destroying this country. Both she and Bill have promoted this sham bill, and for that there is no apology that will ever make it right. At this point, she is my enemy, and unlike her I will not put party in front of country or people and I cannot run around the country touting democracy for women when here in America we are losing ours.
We need a new heroine. In fact, we all need to become heroes at this point if we are going to save America. The question before us is do we have it in us to be heroes. If not, the bad guys and girls have one. So my challenge to the women and men of America is to start being heroes NOW.
Hi Jennifer, don’t you think the status quo is equally bad as the bill? I think both parties are giving their speeches reading the voters lips, but having their own agendas in view. ala democrats we are saving so much money and supposedly getting affordable healthcare. looks like a huge windfall to the insurance industry to me.
if you think republicans are speaking the truth think twice. they complain about cuts form medicare, but what have they done to save medicare ( and I am not saying that this bill will save medicare)? they complain about the rip of from students, when the government borrows at a rate of 2.some % and then lends to students at 7 % financing health care through that gimmick. the dems say they help students by attaching student loans to the bill. i thought Pell grants in the past were really cheap. now of all people the republicans complain about that when they did not care when students paid 18% on their loans.
re Hillary. she is a politician and if she wants to be productive for all women in the world she can’t attack the president even if her health care plans were different. a secretary of state cannot get involved there.
status quo has insurance companies who actually don’t insure. you are out if you had been sick and you will be thrown out if you get sick. healthcare in this country has great centers and great doctors, but for all the great care you need deep pockets.
