Women Make the Difference for Senator Hillary Clinton

From Seneca Falls to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the March Continues

ALBANY, NY (02/06/2008; 1150)(readMedia)-- Today NOW (National Organization for Women) New York State and its forty thousand supporters stand and cheer for Senator Hillary Clinton. We took the huge states and we grew our delegate count in a very big way. Furthermore, women made the difference. Yes, WE made the difference, not only in New York State, but all around the country.

Women get it! This historic race has energized millions of women; and our mass mobilization continues as we march to the polls for Hillary.

And It's Still The Economy! Senator Clinton understands the importance of the US economy and how it impacts particularly upon women's lives. Hillary is the only candidate addressing the economic struggles women face every day. Women, in general, make only seventy-seven cents for every dollar a man makes. And women of color fair even worse.

Back in March of 2007, during women's history month, our National NOW PAC endorsed Senator Clinton for President. That momentous kickoff of the ongoing mobilization will go down in history, as will Hillary Clinton's eventual victory.

We, of NOW New York State, are proud of Senator Clinton's accomplishments and of her commitment to a presidency that will level the playing field for ALL women in the United States.

Onwards and upwards we go. And we'll keep it up because, at the risk of repeating ourselves, WOMEN MADE THE DIFFERENCE!
