She stands for Democrats and for the nation, these family members say.

Like our father, Hillary has devoted her life to embracing and including those on the bottom rung of society's ladder -- giving voice to the alienated and disenfranchised and working to alleviate poverty and injustice, while urging that we cannot advance ourselves as a nation by leaving our poorer brothers and sisters behind.

She's been an equally effective champion for human rights and for women's rights, a worldwide cause that will profit enormously by her elevation to the presidency. She has worked for peace in Northern Ireland and fought to bridge religious, racial and ethnic divides from Bosnia to the Middle East to South Africa. She has shown a rare understanding that American values can only be exported by moral leadership, by a strong home economy and by a detailed understanding of the history and cultural backdrops of the nations we engage.

We need a leader who is battle-tested, resilient and sure-footed on the shifting landscapes of domestic and foreign policy. Hillary Clinton will move our country forward while promoting its noblest ideals.

"While talk of unity and compromise are inspiring to a nation wary of divisiveness, America stands at a historic crossroads where real issues divide our political landscapes."

Heh.

Thanks for posting this.

substantial important endorsements.

a lot more than Obama's soaring rhetoric to get America moving ahead.:thumbsup:

and company.

real hard to back away from it. Is that what you mean?

She's the one.

The DLC forced out O'Malley and anointed KKT as our candidate for Governor even though polls had O'Malley way ahead. We ended up with a repub Governor in a very blue state. KKT serves as a reminder of what happens when the DLC shoves an unelectable candidate down our throats.

Man, the fur must be flying there by now.

growing up and Ethel is for Obama. I doubt very much that their differing opinions cause any discord.
