Hillary, the 2016 Democratic Party Presumptive Nominee for President, & Elizabeth Warren, the Senator from MA, will Hit the Campaign Trail Together Tomorrow

Tomorrow! Monday, June 27th Campaign Event with 2016 Democratic Party Presumptive Nominee Hillary Clinton and Senator Elizabeth Warren! 

( Courtesy of "Will Hillary Win" ~ Things change so always confirm Date, Time and Location...)

I am not going to talk very much because I am going to ask Hillary supporters, and other interested parties, to do a bit of homework, to watch a 40-minute video Sen. Warren posted on her Facebook Page of a speech she recently gave at the Massachusetts Democratic Convention and to pay close attention to the last 15 minutes of it -- 

before you watch Hillary and Sen. Warren share the stage in Ohio tomorrow.

Just a few contextual comments from me:

Sen. Warren is my Senator!

When she ran for office, I had read the book she wrote with her daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi, "The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke" and I knew she was smart. I knew she did her homework. I knew she was vocal. I knew she was not an experienced politician. But, I also knew she believed government should, could serve as an agent for The People, i.e. The Common Good ~ and that is my passion, so decided to give her a shot at representing me and my state and I voted for her.

And, it is beginning to look like I was right.

Not surprisingly, there have been times I have been frustrated by her political naivety and for the most part I have worked at not taking her to task publicly but at communicating with her via the contact section of her website, with no reply necessary.

I don't agree with every word she says. I don't agree with every word she says in the video.  I do, however, see that she's a Democrat, that she's come to a better understanding of the complexities of government, of the process, of the responsibility of the voter and that she makes an even stronger case for government as an agent for The People and that makes me feel encouraged about her.

This is what she wrote on the post accompanying the video:

A future worth fighting for

I spent most of my career studying what has happened to America's middle class and why working families are going broke. A few weeks ago, I gave a Powerpoint presentation on it at the Massachusetts Democratic Convention. At heart, I'm a pretty hard-core data nerd, and I love giving this type of talk. The video here is long – 40 minutes – but if you care about the economic security of working families and what we can do to rebuild our middle class, I think you'll enjoy it.

Sen. Warren is going to be working with Hillary to assist her in winning the White House in November and she is going to be working down ticket, as well. She knows if Democrats are to succeed they need a Democratic Congress as well as a Democratic President and she's willing to roll up her sleeves and get it done.

It is my hope that Democrats will listen to her here and learn more about who she has become  during her early years in the Senate and imagine who she will become during the time Hillary will be her role model and that you-all will communicate with her to teach her when she needs teaching and although there will never be another Sen. Ted Kennedy we just might get an updated version of a Democratic lion in the Senate ...

Ignorance: Not a Choice Anyone Should be Making when Deciding who will Represent in a 21st Century World...

Having said that ^^^

Please allow me to demonstrate how easy it is to go a known source and to be an informed voter by using my candidate for the 2016 Democratic Nomination for President as an example via “The Briefing,” which is one of my favorite sources!

(You know my candidate is Hillary, right?)

Here are my top 5 issues briefs from her camp (today!)

~ not from her opposition: Sanders, Media and/or GOP!:

" ... Harnessing the Strength of Manufacturing Nationwide, as she did in Upstate New York

Hillary believes that manufacturing matters because workers who build things here are the heart of our economy. Well-paying manufacturing jobs support families, and making things in America here is critical to our innovation and prosperity. Throughout her career and in this campaign, Hillary stood up for American manufacturing.

As Senator, Hillary fought for workers and manufacturers in New York. She stood up to China when they tried to put tariffs on New York’s exports. In communities across the state, from Buffalo to Rochester to Albany, Hillary brought together government at every level, workers, and businesses large and small to join and invest in good-paying jobs and production in the state. Today, in Syracuse, Hillary is providing more detail on her vision for American manufacturing, with a $10 billion investment in “Make it in America Partnerships” that will take her strategy to stand with manufacturers in upstate New York nationwide. This new proposal will be largely paid for based on revenues from Clinton’s previously announced “clawback” proposal that would rescind tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs abroad.

While too many politicians and experts in Washington gave up on American manufacturing, Hillary never did. That’s why she believes we need a comprehensive strategy to break down all the barriers to making things here, and ensure America’s global leadership in manufacturing. We need to buy what America makes: 100's of billions of dollars of investment in our nation’s infrastructure and making America the world’s clean energy superpower will drive demand for jobs, equipment, and production here. And she will oppose trade agreements, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, that do not meet her high standards for creating good jobs, raising wages, and enhancing our national security.

Last Dec., Hillary put forward five principles for winning the global race for manufacturing jobs. Today, she is providing more detail on the principle of harnessing the strength of manufacturing communities nationwide through “Make it in America” partnerships, reiterating the principles she has already discussed throughout this campaign: ...

“... And it means we need to support our coal miners, their families, and their communities. Coal will remain a part of the energy mix for years to come, and we have a shared responsibility to ensure that coal communities receive the benefits they have earned—and can build the future they deserve. That’s what my plan does, by safeguarding retirement and healthcare benefits and school funding, creating good-paying jobs in infrastructure, reclaiming and repurposing abandoned mining sites, expanding broadband, and investing in hydropower and clean energy. And I will launch a Coal Communities Challenge Fund to support the locally-driven economic development in health care, housing, and small business that is happening by coal communities, for coal communities. ..."

" ... Senator Sanders is attacking Hillary Clinton over contributions from people who work in the financial industry – but here’s an important note: Despite taking more campaign contributions from Wall Street than any candidate in history, no donation stopped President Obama from enacting tough Wall Street reforms. The truth is progressives, analysts and reformers have praised her approach to tackling risk in our financial system while protecting financial reforms from Republican attack: ...

This has to be a national priority. What happened in Flint is immoral. The children of Flint are just as precious as the children of any part of America.

– Hillary Clinton, House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church, Flint, Michigan, February 7, 2016

Hillary Clinton knows that the children of Flint have waited too long for help. For nearly two years their parents spoke out about problems with the city’s water—only to be silenced and ignored. Later, scientists and pediatricians backed their concerns up with evidence—and yet they were told that they still did not have proof that there was a real problem.

We now know that the population of Flint has been exposed to dangerously high levels of lead in the water—and the children who have been exposed are most likely to suffer long-term consequences. Hillary Clinton has called on Governor Snyder to resign, but she knows that alone doesn’t solve the problem.

Enough is enough: Hillary Clinton is not going to wait to help the people of Flint. After visiting herself and sending her daughter and senior campaign officials to learn more from community leaders and experts on what the community needs most, she has announced that she would: ... "

" ... Hillary Clinton has a plan to help 40 million Americans with their debt by focusing on five key elements.  Sanders talks so much about free public college – But he doesn’t spend much time on the people who have debt right now.  Here are the five key elements of Hillary’s plan with a ✔ (Sanders’ plan covers it) or an X (Sanders’ plan doesn’t cover it). ...
