She Did It!


Hillary released her delegates to Obama!

"It is traditional that we have nominations, that we have a roll call, that we have candidates who look for ways to make sure we come out of here ready to win in November," she said. "As part of that tradition, I am here today to release you as my delegates."

Now lets get the party started!

The Dreams of a Forgotten Generation Ignored.

Clinton’s speech was brilliant and presidential. By attempting to connect her supporters to the selfish idea that we might have been in this only out of love for her personally missed the mark. Rather, it’s about the decades of building our generations first well qualified woman president to break, not crack that glass ceiling of moral inequality. It was about getting to the “root” problem of the human race to be whole.

I don’t accept that equality for women has been put on any list of “things to do.” That’s just crazy! Injustice toward women is as old as human time on earth and is an outrage. Until the two components of the human race are realized as equal parts to a whole, we cannot be our best.

For those who thought change would come through the idol Obama and his more experienced and “ol Washington” VP partner, I hope you realize the two Parties will continue to exhibit cronyism, criminal activity, greed and secrets in their administrations and policies. Until we morally put men and women in check through equality and wholeness, political games will only continue and disappoint because we are broken. Hillary sold her soul to the Party, not to moral healing and justice for a better way. A way to stop bipartisan bickering. The way to find the road to working across Party lines with newness of integrity, enabling us to work together on all other crisis issues and “ism’s” with full integrity and focused energy.

I believe this nominee came from Oprah and multiple manipulating of the youth to ignore standing on the generational shoulders of 30 years work, which included billions of hours and dollars that American women and their allies suffered to achieve in HRC. We became justice activists at 15 and 16 years of age. Where were you in 2000 and 2004 with concerns of Supreme Court Justices? America just missed it's first (and last for a long while) opportunity for “justice for all” bringing new life for REAL change.

This campaign was fully ordained in private rooms by DNC elites, ( i.e. the Kennedy's, Pelosi's) years ago so as to “pass their mantle.” It is the exact demonstration of good 'ol Washington politics that Obama seemed to convince so many he would change. Yeah - right.

Our hope is different than what has been used to describe hope these past 20 months. We hope for the healed soul of humanity to do good. But, if elected, I hope Obama will change his stance on Bush’s illegal faith based initiative policy, which Barack vows to continue. Rather than raising taxes for Healthcare, use the tax money that has been given to mega fundamentalist and other Christian churches for the eight years. It is a violation of separation of church and state. Never have tax dollars been given to religious businesses that pay no tax. Those billions would cover Healthcare and FEMA for all. The wonderful progress of American ingenuity from the Industrial and Tech ages have a downside: we are sicker and it is no one’s fault. The progress of pharmaceuticals helps us live longer with growing and new illnesses and we need National Healthcare. Perhaps a nod from Obama on this issue would cast HRC votes his way.
