Hillary's Major Union Endorsement

The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry (“UA”) announced today it is endorsing former Secretary of State, U.S. Senator and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton for President of the United States. 340,000 members live in the US and Canada.

“Hillary Clinton brings a unique blend of experience to the office of President of the United States,” said Plumbers and Pipefitters Union General President William P. Hite in announcing the endorsement. “She is a skilled diplomat and a tough negotiator, yet she also has great compassion for working families. She is committed to rebuilding our country’s aging infrastructure, especially our water and waste water systems, and all facets of the energy sector, including pipelines, nuclear and natural gas. These are top priorities for the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters and for the whole country. I’m confident Secretary Clinton will provide the leadership to get the job done. She will help America become stronger, more competitive and create quality jobs in the process.”

Clinton Wins Key NH Union Endorsements The Hill

Hillary, DNC Face Pressure to Add Debates

Only a call from President Obama or Hillary Clinton herself could change Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s position that six presidential primary debates is enough. The Clinton Campaign has repeatedly stated that they welcome more debates, but Wasserman is standing firm, writes Politico.

“There has been discussion between the officers of the DNC and the chairwoman, [but] she’s made her decision and her position clear,” said DNC vice chair Tulsi Gabbard, a Hawaii congresswoman who — along with former Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak, another vice chair — is calling for more debates.

Why I’m Sticking With Hillary Clinton Huff Po

LGBT rights activist and gay veteran of the US Army Wayne Anderson explains his commitment to Hillary.

Unlike so many people, Anderson does not demand perfection of his political candidates. If a politico can’t admit to making a past mistake, how then does s(he) learn from them?

Honestly, with the amount of time Hillary Clinton has been active in politics and public life, I’m sure it is far from the only mistake she has made. So why do I remain loyal to Hillary Clinton and support her run for the presidency? Mainly it is due to two simple reasons. Her record on the issues I care about is the first, and the slightly more distant second is that the other options besides Hillary are not only disappointing but sometimes downright scary.

So if I am to cast aside my history with Clinton what are my other options? I actually admire some of Bernie Sanders’ positions on the issues, but I cannot support a socialist for president. I love America. I gave up several years of my young life volunteering to serve and defend this country in the U.S. Army. America is one of the few countries where you can be born poor yet rise to the highest of heights in our society. And that is because we are a Capitalist country, and though not a perfect system, without it there would be no American Dream. America is one of the one of the very few places where rags to riches dreams still come true. They happen every day. The economic socialism that Sanders supports would kill the American Dream in my opinion. So no, I cannot support Saunders. Former Governor Martin O’Malley seems like a good guy but just doesn’t have the gravitas or grasp of international politics that Clinton commands with ease. And though I like Vice President Joe Biden, he has a long history of questionable verbal statements and gaffes, and the fact that he did not support the raid that killed bin Laden has always made me question his nerve.
