The Clinton campaign today announced the launch of Students for Hillary, a national effort to organize and mobilize supporters on college campuses. Supporters have already started 120 Students for Hillary chapters in 37 states and the campaign expects many more to begin in the coming weeks. The campaign also unveiled a new Web site, http://www.hillblazers.com/, which will serve as the principal organizing tool for students and other young voters. Hillary Clinton kicked off the Students for Hillary initiative at events at her alma mater, Wellesley College, and at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and encouraged students to become active in her campaign.
"In the coming weeks, I need you to make the calls and knock on the doors and organize events," said Clinton. "That's exactly what I did back in 1968, driving from Wellesley to Manchester, New Hampshire, stuffing envelopes and walking precincts for Eugene McCarthy's Presidential campaign. And I'm so grateful that so many of you here are doing that for me today."
During her remarks at each event, Clinton honored the activism and public service of students and recent graduates. In particular, she noted that between 2000 and 2006, applications to Teach for America nearly tripled and that between 2004 and 2006, applications to the AmeriCorps VISTA program jumped 50%.
"So to those who say your generation is disengaged - that you're not as passionate and committed as we were - I say, come out to Providence and Keene and Durham and Wellesley. See how every day, young people here and across America are standing up, taking charge and making the impossible possible," said Clinton.
She also laid out an agenda to help college students and young voters realize their full potential by improving access to higher education, creating new jobs, tackling global challenges like the environment and the spread of HIV/AIDS.
"I have been a big fan of Hillary's for a long time because she understands the issues that are important to me." said Christine Snively, a UNH graduate student who is expected to introduce Hillary at an event at the Durham campus. "She has strong plans to restore the Middle Class and provide universal healthcare to every American. Hillary also recognizes the importance of making college affordable and of promoting alternative means of education for kids who don't take the college route."

Good little socialist already.....wonder who paid for her college education?
If you read the fine print, the female students are for Bill.
“Make the calls and knock on the doors ... in 1968”
Yep, sounds about as relevant as the candidate.
And what a great success that was!
Re “If you read the fine print, the female students are for Bill”.
Two groups: One, since they can’t spell correctly, is “Studs for Hillary”.
The other is “Studs for Bill”.
The neutered group is “Studs for Clinton” . Swings both ways.
This is going to be interesting.
What I don’t see is a group called “Interns for Clinton.” Wonder why?
LOL, now it’s official: The Fresh Meat Booty Call.
Hillary for the middle class

Letters to the Editor - Oct. 30, 2007
To the editor:
Criticizing the many flaws of the current Bush administration at this point seems unnecessary. By now most people know that the current policies have not been directed toward improving life for America's middle class. Only those already within high-income brackets have benefited from Bush's tax breaks while 90 percent of the population has experienced a decline in annual income.
We need a president who will stop providing large tax cuts to only the wealthy, and one who will not continue catering to big business. We need a president who will not ignore the struggles faced every day by the majority of our citizens.
Hillary Clinton will work to level the playing field by making college more affordable and through her ongoing efforts to provide health care for every American. Hillary plans on investing in alternative energy solutions which are necessary not only for environmental concerns, but also to create more jobs to help strengthen the middle class. Hillary has decades of public service experience and is fully prepared to lead our nation in the right direction.

Good thing you took that Statistics for Lefties class at UNH, Christine. It's so good when our college courses can be applied in our real lives!
“My program for educating youth is hard. Weakness must be hammered away. In my castles of the Teutonic Order a youth will grow up before which the world will tremble. I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes...That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication...That is how I will create the New Order.” — Adolf Hitler, 1933.
“Criticizing the many flaws of the current Bush administration....Bush’s tax breaks .....”
Oh wow! I’ve never hear that stuff before! (sarcasm).
“Hillary Clinton will work to level the playing field by...” blah blah blah
There is no substance to this note whatsoever.
By the way, I don’t believe any of Hillary’s mass-mailed brouchers are printed on recycled paper. Four have shown up since September.
I hope one of these sh!theads comes to my door or calls me on the phone. Like I’m going to listen to some young puke commie.
Homo’s for Hillary.
Hamas for Hillary.
Hezbollah for Hillary.
High taxes for Hillary.
Fake Students, Fake Soldiers and Fake Bloggers for Hillary!
lets see..the only reason my annual income declines is because i have to work jan. first thru apr. 30th to pay my ever increasing taxes....
so if mr bush and his disciples cut my taxes well, thats good...
similarly if the party that loves to levy taxes can’t make it into power so they can’t raise them, well thats good to....
why do you suppose a college student couldn’t figure that one out?
i rest my case.
