The daughter of my favorite state legislator asked a great question about body image.

Wish I could have been there!

It must have been an absolute success.
I believe Trump opened such a huge wound in many people with his body shaming & derrogatory boasting of women.
Its going to continue to bleed out until we see our fist female President & with her leadership someday change the direction of such thought.
Unfortunately Trump has driven such an enormous wedge in that process it will be a challenge to undo.
But fortunately, we willl have one fine role model to bring as much change as possible in the time she has to do so.
Much work has to be done in so many areas of our laws.
The Supreme Court will be a very good start to right so many wrongs.

Still4hill has an nice report from today's rally & good Pics. Maybe your friends are in the pics somewhere!

“At my school, body image is a really big issue for girls my age,” began Brennan Leach, 15, who had a red bow in her hair. “I see with my own eyes the damage Donald Trump does when he talks about women and how they look.”

How, she asked, could Mrs. Clinton help girls understand “that they are so much more than just what they look like?”

Briefly, Mrs. Clinton appeared ready to rocket out of her seat.

“Thank you!” the candidate shouted, as the crowd cheered Brennan. “Thank you!”
