We are an organization of thousands of women who enthusiastically support Secretary Hillary Clinton for president. Our members know very well her qualifications, experience, hard work, policies, concern for issues important to all Americans, trustworthiness, kindness, and graciousness.

Five Great Speeches/Moments at the DNC that You May Have Missed.
As a lifelong Democrat (and political junkie, thanks Mom!), I look forward to the Democratic National Convention like a sports fan looks forward to playoff season. I watched the RNC as well, and after it, I was left feeling fearful and depressed. Of course I hoped that the DNC would deliver us from the doom […]

That Time WWFC Had My Back
On April 16, 2016, at the suggestion of friends, I published a 10,000-word article on Medium whose origin was a long rant I’d posted on Facebook a couple of days earlier.

Memes and the Revolution
Being a social media hog, an informed voter, and a Democratic Party leader, since I joined Facebook I’ve followed all the great Democratic leaders and some who caucused with Dems, such as Sen. Sanders. When ‘memes’ became a thing, some leaders had staff and volunteers who really caught on to that medium and capitalized on it. […]

Because…

And my grandmother voting. I read It Takes a Village in college. I am passionate about this woman. Because she has the most […]
