Come if you can—gather car loads full. Pass this around. Make calls –Get a good crowd.
Somehow these two events just seemed to go together.
Just saw an ad in Green bay area of WI--saying she will stand up for all Americans--soft. nice
**She will be in Wausau at 11am on Monday morning also*
And from OHIO:
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/02/14/hillaryvisit.html“I really don’t think about it like that,” Clinton told The Dispatch following a 35-minute speech to 2,600 in Ohio State University’s French Field House.
“I think about doing the very best I can. I’ve got a good campaign here. I’ve got wonderful, broad support across the state and we’re just going to work like crazy to get as many votes as we possibly can and hopefully we’ll do well.”
Sharpening her contrasts with Obama, Clinton accused him of misleading Ohio Democrats with a direct-mail piece that misrepresented her position on the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed into law by her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
“He’s running a campaign where he is obviously taking shots at me,” Clinton said. “He’s got some mailer I’ve heard about here in Ohio, going after me on NAFTA. I wasn’t in the Senate, I didn’t vote on NAFTA. I’ve obviously got a record where I’ve taken on the trade issues time and time again. So we’re going to be drawing comparisons and contrasts.”
……..
During a two-day swing through Ohio, Clinton told the boisterous OSU audience that she would take on the special interests, especially the oil companies, which she said have driven Bush administration policies.
"I have not just talked the talk, I have walked the walk and been against the special interests," she said.
……..
During a visit yesterday morning to the General Motors’ auto assembly plant in Lordstown, Clinton complimented Obama for his oratorical skill.
“But speeches,” she said, “don’t put food on the table. Speeches don’t fill up your tank. Speeches don’t fill your prescriptions. My opponent makes speeches. I offer solutions. It’s one thing to get people excited. I want to empower you.”……….

EDUCATION: Although most girls did not receive a formal education in the early 1800's, Susan B. Anthony's father, Daniel, as a 6th generation Quaker, believed in equal treatment for boys and girls. Consequently, Susan and her three sisters had the same opportunity for advanced education as her two brothers. Susan attended a private Quaker boarding school in Philadelphia.
FAMILY BACKGROUND: The Anthony family was very active in the reform movements of the day. They worked for temperance (the prohibition of alcohol), the anti-slavery movement plus both of Susan B. Anthony's parents (Daniel and Lucy) and her sister Mary signed the "Declaration of Sentiments" at the Second Women's Rights Convention held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.
DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Susan B. Anthony dedicated her life to "the cause," the woman suffrage movement. The accomplishments of Susan B. Anthony paved the way for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 (14 years after her death) which gave women the right to vote. Her accomplishments include the following:
* Founded the National Woman's Suffrage Association in 1869 with life-long friend Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Together they worked for women's suffrage for over 50 years.
* Published "The Revolution" from 1868-1870, a weekly paper about the woman suffrage movement whose motto read, "Men their rights and nothing more, women their rights and nothing less.
* First person arrested, put on trial and fined for voting on November 5, 1872. Unable to speak in her defense she refuse to pay "a dollar of your unjust penalty."
* Wrote the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in 1878 which later became the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.

* Led the only non-violent revolution in our country's history -- the 72 year struggle to win women the right to vote.

PLACE OF DEATH: Susan B. Anthony died in her home in Rochester, New York of pneumonia and heart failure. Her last public words,
