"Hillary from College to the White House"

Portland – Leadership matters and it starts in the formative years, follow Hillary Clinton from College through the Arkansas Governor's Mansion. On Thursday, February 7, at 12:00 p.m. in Gerald E. Talbot Lecture, Luther Bonney Hall, Portland campus, the Women's Resource Center of the University of Southern Maine is sponsoring a special showing of the classic Frontline documentary, "Hillary's Class". The program explores the experiences of Hillary Rodham Clinton and six of her classmates at Wellesley College, from college days until their 25th Reunion in 1994. These members of the Class of 1969, who came of age at the dawn of the second wave of the women's movement, reflect on the choices they made and how they measure themselves against their most famous classmate.

Meet Hillary supporters and ask them why Hillary should be President? Join Prof. Nancy Wanderer, Director of the Legal Research and Writing Program at USM, one of the women featured in the documentary for a glimpse into the formative years of Hillary Rodham Clinton and how her classmates felt about her then and 25 years later. Professor Wanderer will lead a discussion following the screening of the documentary, exploring what the film tells us about Hillary Clinton, the candidate for President of the United States. Team Hillary Maine hosts this free event and welcomes the public and USM students.

Dear Maine Democrats,

After her victory in New Hampshire, Hillary said that the people there had helped her find her voice.

Thousands across the country have already made their voices heard by signing up to volunteer and they are hard at work getting out the vote on February 5 and in the states that vote after Tuesday. With less than 10 days before the Maine caucus we need you to join them right now and make your voice heard in Maine.

Use your voice by signing up to volunteer.

In the next few days 22 states will make their choice -- but Maine is going to play an important role in this nomination with your caucus coming just a few short days after this Tuesday's elections.

Winning elections takes hard work. We have to roll up our sleeves and tap into the talent and grit that each of us have to offer. I'm asking you now to work for her because, as president, she'll be working for all of us. Hillary needs you to become an active volunteer in Maine to help us win next weekend.

Join our campaign and volunteer.

As we get closer to Election Day in Maine, every action you take will make the difference for our campaign. I am confident that together we will make that difference in Maine!

Sincerely,

Guy Cecil
National Political Director
Hillary Clinton for President

On Saturday, I heard U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters say something that really made sense to me. She said that people who are struggling still manage to get up each day with "hope" in their hearts. That's what keeps them going. What they really need is not "hope" but "help." Hope is what Obama is offering, but it's Hillary who can really offer them help. It takes experience to get things done and make truly meaningful change.

We all need to do whatever we can to get Hillary nominated. I really feel like the strength and well being of our country depends on it.

You are invited to visit Maine's blog for Hillary: www.hillaryforme.blogspot.com. Take a look at Senator Clinton's resume. It's right there. It's very impressive. Then compare it to Barack Obama's. It's right there, too. It's nothing special. This is a no brainer, folks. If you have to make a decision about whom to hire for a job or to do work for you, do you hire the best qualified person, or the one who gives a great speech with little to back it up? We really don't know very much about Barack Obama. If that doesn't scare you, it should. We know all about Senator Clinton, as she has proven time and again, her compassion for people and this country and her commitment to getting the job done, particularly for women and children and in health care. Do you know any women? Any girls? Cast your vote for them. Their future depends on it. Go Hillary!

For you to say that Barack Obama's resume is "nothing special" is laughable!
The Clintons will say anything to win a race, unfortunately, the same is true for many Clinton supporters. To that point, are we to assume it was a mistake that you burried Obamas Havard Law Degree under the a Community Organizer" heading. Your bias in this presentation is seething. And your statement to the contrary disingenuous. Integriy matters. Leadership Matters. Judgement Matters.

Consider Obama folks. He's a president we'll be proud to have.
