Fighter | Hillary Clinton

You seem to be swimming against the tide.

That’s because I think the tide is not going in the right direction.

We have reports this morning that a plane has crashed.

I was very proud when the Children’s Health Insurance Program passed.

You want universal health care for children.

To me a fighter is someone who’s passionate about what they believe in

Before Secretary of State, Senator

she was just a caring, young, bright, creative student

Hillary came to work for the Children’s Defense Fund

when we were a fledgling, beginning organization.

It was so overwhelming because

There are no miracles in all this. It’s hard work.

And over the years she has made a cumulative,

I think significant impact for children.

In September, 1995

I was at the UN conference in Beijing.

The history of women has been a history of silence.

Many people in our own government and our Congress

But you don’t shy away from confronting human rights abuses.

It is a violation of human rights

when babies are denied food

or drowned, or suffocated

Human rights are women’s rights

Hearing the words that she spoke

And I think by now people know I don’t quit.
