The Women’s March Is Not Officially Honoring Hillary Clinton
moto ^ | January 20, 2017 | Samantha Cooney

Some women aren’t happy that the Women’s March on Washington omitted Hillary Clinton from its list of “revolutionary leaders who paved the way for us to march.”

When the Women’s March, which will take place on Saturday, released its official platform earlier this week, the group included a section dedicated to women who inspired organizers but didn’t mention Clinton’s name. The list included activists like Grace Lee Boggs, Gloria Steinem, Winona LaDuke, Malala Yousafzai and Edith Windsor. But Clinton, the first woman to be the a presidential nominee of a major political party, was missing. The omission is especially notable because the March borrows one of its slogans — “Women’s Rights are Human Rights and Human Rights are Women’s Rights” — from Clinton’s famous 1995 speech on women’s rights in Beijing. Clinton has given no indication that she plans to attend the event.

Sonya Clay, who lives in D.C. and supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 election, started a petition to get Clinton’s name added onto the list, which now has over 5,000 signatures. In addition to Clay’s petition, Wise Women for Hillary sent a letter to the March’s organizers asking that they change their mind. Others agreed, tweeting to March organizers under the hashtag #AddHerName. Some women now say they may stay home if Clinton’s name isn’t added.

There are two elements of the Democratic Party looking at 2020. One wants Hillary to have either a chance to run again, or a chance to influence the outcome of the Democratic contenders.

The second group wants to move on....leaving Hillary at the gate, and not having her or the foundation crowd ever influence another election. This crowd needs various lobby groups to attach themselves to the agenda (feminists, gay-action, BLT, etc).

Presently, with the exception of Cory Booker...I think the 2020 Democratic primary will be fairly weak.

I think he’s on some very heavy meds and is very, very sick. His mouth is always open and he looks catatonic.

Isn’t this Sanctity of Human Life day? or was? Is not a pro sharia woman the leader of this inane bowel movement?

Psalm 8:2

“Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.”

It’s all about abortion

Drug queen Hitllarie and the women drug fest in DC. All adds up. Stoned folks getting media coverage. Their biggest fear their drugs will become more expensive. Ole lech Bill is becoming brain dead and the msm still kisses his arshhh. Drug money still fills their pockets. The swamp has a lot of muck. (rant)

I’m already tired of this tantrum. I hope that they get over it at some point during the first four years.

I find it truly funny that they fall into a swampfight over minutiae, such as whom to dedicate their bozo march to. Those of us who have to work and raise families don’t have time for such meaningless nonsense. If I had my way, they’d dedicate their march to Betty Crocker.

Someone forgot to inform Ashley Judd of this. In her “speech”, she clearly put hitlery at the end of the list of revered women.
