New America Foundation’s Conference

Friday, May 16, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech at the New America Foundation Conference in Washington, DC. Her speech was on the topic of the economy, and more specifically, income inequality. Clinton urged businesses and community groups to come together to help the struggling middle class. She argued that upward mobility does exist within the United States, but the government may not be solution. She said, “We can’t wait for government, which seems so paralyzed and unfortunately at a time when we could be racing ahead.”

The full video from the event is currently available on C-SPAN, which may be accessed by clicking here.

Marjorie Margolies Fundraiser

Thursday, May 15, 2014

Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared a fundraiser for Marjorie Margolies. Although Margolies is running for Congress for a district in Pennsylvania, the event took place in New York at the home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild. Margolies is Chelsea Clinton’s mother-in-law and was in the House of Representatives when Bill Clinton was president. The odd part about the fundraiser is that Margolies did not attend.  A campaign aide said, “She felt it important that she be in the district.” The Clintons will certainly continue to campaign for Margolies in the months leading up to the November election. The press was not allowed inside the fundraiser, so no video is available.
