Mothers of the Movement Event
Here's a summary, but for those of you that didn't watch...it was quite something.
She opened by acknowledging Herb Buhl, who she worked with when she was down here working for CDF in the 1960s. Told a funny story about not knowing how to drive a stick shift and him lending her a manual car.
She briefly told the stories of the mothers and the children they lost.
Guns are the leading cause of death among black men, more than the other leading 9 causes of death combined. There was an audible sigh in the audience.
Talked about Gabby Giffords, and the 9 year old girl shot along with the others that day.
No fly list.
Politics are hard, I know that. But sometimes the hard things are sometimes the things that are most important to do. President Obama wants to make guns a voting issue and I agree completely.
Please welcome these remarkable people who are taking this journey on behalf of all of us.
HRC turned it over to the guests.
Sabrina Fulton: "She walked in as a Presiodental candidate, walked out as a compassionate mother."
No one took notes fort her, she took notes for herself.
Maria Hamilton, mother of Dontre Hamilton, told her story.
Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis.- told her story. I have watched her bring people and countries back into the fold back into the fray, and she has done a good thing.
Gwen Carr- Talked about all the outreach, how HRC came to them. Wondering what the catch was. "There was no catch, she was just genuinely concerned." I endorse her, because she endorsed us first.
Geneva Reed-Veal, Sandra Bland's mom. Did a wonderful rant on the media and how tired she was of them. Go out and vote. We have 9 months to put her in, she's the new baby."There are no secret emails."
Mark Kelly: X percent of children that die from gun violence in the developing world die in the US.
Gabby- Here to talk about Hillary Clinton, who is tough, she is courageous, she will fight to make our families safer. In the WH she will stand up to the gun lobby. Thanks why IU'm voting for Hillary. Speaking is difficult for me but come January I want to say these two words...Madame President.
Standing ovation from the room, someone stood up and yelled "Madame President!" Everyone went nuts.
HRC said thanks to everyone, talked about their courage. I hope this is a movement that lasts, and ended to work a rope line.
***At the very end, she briefly spoke to Alex Wagner on the rope line who was there with The Circus. I'm not sure it checked the box for us, but they talked briefly about how amazing the mothers were, what a moving event it was***

HRC met with the United Farm Workers (UFW) and earned their endorsement by the end of the meeting. Julie captured this unexpected moment on video--it was special! We'll be working with UFW to discuss the roll out plan. They've asked their members to hold the news.
* She reiterated her commitment to fight for CIR with a pathway to citizenship; protect and implement DACA and DAPA; and explore other ways to protect undocumented people via executive action ("create new categories").
* She stated support for UFW's legislative proposal to expand overtime pay for farm workers in CA, so overtime is av. after 40 hours/week or 8 hours/day.
* She was asked to help in the dispute between the UFW and CA-based Gerawan Farming. She said she's do everything possible. After the meeting, she had a private conversation with Arturo and expressed caution b/c of campaign.
* She was asked about healthcare for the undocumented community. Stated her support for all undocumented people to be able to buy in the exchange, but acknowledged that most people don't have the resources to afford it. She also said she would work to make the exchanges available to all, including subsidies, but immediately linked it to CIR. Also wants to work with states like CA and the UFW to explore other ways to provide HC
* Re Central American kids, she said government funded legal counsel for UCs and working with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to take down drug cartels and build the region.
* She was asked if she would appoint Obama to the SCOTUS. She said he would be a very good candidate, but she wouldn't have that power...and he probably wants a normal life. It was a fun exchange bet. her and the farm workers.

Just met with the farm workers for an hour here in Palo Alto. Very positive experience. I'll let Lorella expand, but from outside the room there was a lot of clapping and cheering, and chanting of Sí Se Peude.
Two SC radio interviews today:
1) We did a repeat with Cynthia Hardy that ended up being a very brief conversation HRC joined in progress about health disparities in communities of color.
2) She did a slightly tougher but ultimately very strong interview with Judi Gatson of 103.1 KISS FM. She asked HRC about her recent comments on not being in this for herself, and said that some doubt that. The answer was very strong, and invoked a little reflection on sexism. She asked about youth, but the framing was interesting, which was that BdB and Eric Garner's mom endorse, but children of BdB and Eric Garner's sister do not. The other question most of note was Judi observing that she hears people in the community say that HRC embraces Obama only to pander to the AfAm population. Interesting that that broke through, (Stephanie if you talked to her I'd be curious to hear more about how often she's hearing that), HRC's answer was good, she said that Senator Sanders claiming that was offensive, that she nominated him at the convention, campaigned for him, worked for him for 4 years, and that it "affects" her "personally" to hear Sanders and his supporters say that stuff.
Finance event in Atherton was largely uneventful. She did take questions. She dinged Uber when talking about the Kalamazoo shooter, which thrilled many in the audience here in Silicon Valley, I'm sure. No encryption questions.
One more finance event and then we're off to LA to spend the night.

Good live interview with Univision local this morning. Bernie was supposed to be on right after us but bailed late last night. She did her pitch, talked about immigration, no fireworks.
Left there and dos two back of house visits, Caesars and Harrah's. Bernie was at Harrah's immediately before us, stayed 5 minutes and left. We spent about 25 shaking hands and telling people where to caucus.
Left there and went to 2 caucus sites, the second of which she's working the (long) line at as we speak.
The Bernie folks are definitely here, but our organizers tell us these are very strong locations for us.

We visited the home of Vicki Early, a retired California utility company employee who moved to Nevada to buy her first home, and installed solar panels on the roof, which she could afford with the Public Utility Commission offsets on her fixed income until they got rolled back. She and her boyfriend Tyrone showed HRC the panels in the back yard and told her story. HRC had the press come in closer to listen and then dos brief remarks of her own on the importance of this issue for people like Vicki. Pretty great stuff.
Next we went to Youthbuild, an organization with a Nevada chapter that builds houses for Habitat for Humanity. We walked through a big warehouse where HRC individually met about 15 workers. She was intrigued by how most of them found the place, which was through Craigslist, and probed them on what they were learning and what they wanted to do next. Most wanted to continue in the building trades. She spoke briefly, and invited the Youthbuild and Habitat folks to speak as well.
We've also squeezed in two SC radio interviews. Both went well, talked about the Clyburn's endorsement, support for President Obama, her plans on college affordability.
Headed to the town hall with high school students now.

Women and Families Roundtable:
Very engaging discussion, topics ranged from early childhood education to food deserts to Flint. HRC brought up Flint proactively, and a woman stood up and said that she had family there, appreciated HRC saying that, her work there, and that her assessment was exactly right. Audience was diverse across the board, lots of millennials and lots of young people who work for various NGOs and advocacy groups with a lot of very good questions and passionate comments. At the end HRC commented on her life's work, figuring out how to make difference in people's lives as opposed to promising them the moon, and making sure lives are better when you're done than when you started. Wasn't too hot but poignant and noticeable following 45 minutes of discussing the importance of reading to your children every day.
We're now going to divert course and make a pit stop at a woman's house who has been affected by the Nevada Public Utility Commissions retroactive rate changes on people selling solar back to the grid. Pool is with us.

Woke up in Milwaukee this morning and did a fundraiser at Harbor House. Very pretty setting just outside of downtown on a partially frozen bright blue Lake Michigan. She gave a pretty standard stump, no Qs, and we headed out.
South Carolina was quite something. Good crowd of about 450/500 at Denmark-Olar Elementary School (home of the Vikings). HRC stuck largely to her remarks and outlined her $125 billion plan to improve underserved communities, and took questions on just about everything: social security, health care multiple times, body cameras, Flint, homeless vets, Trump, student loans, who she's pick for VP, and a little girl who gave her a drawing that said on it: "I'm not bossy I have leadership skills." It was a very engaged, high-energy affair.
Following the town hall and a long ropeline, we did 2 TV stand ups and a print interview. Discussion in both revolved around race relations, the state of the race, and education, which HRC discussed at length in a dilapidated older locker room with paint people off the walls in the background.
Our print interviewer, Princess Williams, was really impressive. She won an award last year for best student journalist in a college under 5000 students from the South Carolina Press Association. She was nervous but did a great job, asked HRC about education, what we can't do beyond government programs to help level the playing field, attracting young voters, and what life is like off the campaign trail.
We're in the air now headed back north to St. Paul for the Humphrey-Mondale Dinner.

Two more things to add:
We did a radio interview with Greg and the morning buzz. Like the first local NH hit this morning, it was all about NH and allowed her to talk about how grateful she is to the people here.
Also just did a 10 minute satellite hit with Al Sharpton. They talked about heading to Nevada and her strategy there, he asked her how she would distinguish he civil rights record, then Flint, millennial women, voting rights, and a question about Cruz's comments on Flint and Katrina both being cities with crisis and two very liberal mayors. She didn't engage most of the answer and at the end said "that's not the world I live in, and not the world I'd govern as President."
Strong interview in substance and tone.
Transcripts to follow.

We made an impromptu stop at Dunkin Donuts. Press came in briefly,
took some photos of HRC taking some photos, and departed. We stayed
and ordered some food, most of which was stolen from us and consumed
in the limo as I understand it. We did manage some coffees in the
staff van, which was game changing.
Then off to Dover. Another great showing by the organizing team, as
well as by Carly Fiorina's husband, who greeted the Secretary
enthusiastically. You'd never know his wife calls for HRC's
imprisonment on a daily basis.
Just got back to Manchester.

Happy Election Day!
We just went to the Ward 10 polling location at Parker Varney School
in Manchester.
HRC arrived to volunteers chanting "I believe that she will win!" and
worked the crowd. She shook about 75 hands and took lots of photos,
and then did an impromptu stand up with the morning show anchors.
They asked her about how she's feeling and expectations, she just
talked about how excited she was to be out talking to people and her
love for New Hampshire.
We took a few more photos and talked to WMUR for a few minutes, which
will air at noon.
Now we're in Nashua now headed to another location and on the phone
live with Mike Pomp of WTSN radio. Good conversation, she's talking
about her experiences up here, basically a perfect Election Day drive
time interview.
More to come.

HRC and WJC stopped by Chez Vachon for breakfast. Nice greasy spoon
with a French Canadian twist. HRC and WJC worked the tables, ran into
some longtime supporters, took a lot of selfies. President Clinton
was excited to see his photo still on the wall from when he visited
last.
Dan O'Neil, former Dodd and O'Malley supporter but '92 Clinton
supporter joined them for omelettes. Following breakfast, some more
selfie-taking ensued as did a conversation with a couple of vets.
Restaurant felt overwhelmingly supportive.
We went back to the hotel and taped 6 TV interviews with local and
Boston affiliates. Lots about the state of the race here and the
weather. Most asked about Warren which she handled well, a couple of
transcripts questions and a good exchange with FOX on sexism in
politics.
From there we went to Manchester Community College. Crowd of about
1100, she did a few things differently, including calling Bernie out
for accepting DSCC money that came in part from Wall Street.
We taped Rachel Maddow after the event. It opened with the staffing
question and then covered the waterfront...Flint, trust, attacks,
transcripts. We let it go so Rachel would spend more time on the
positive which she did.
After Maddow we went to the Velcro factory. She went table to table
in their cafeteria which looked like a Johnny Rockets, shaking hands,
sometimes sitting down for brief conversations. Press pool got some
good stuff.
We're now back at the Radisson waiting to depart for WMUR where we'll
do a quick live hit on WMUR, she'll simply make a one minute pitch to
voters direct to camera.

Flint was quite moving. When we walked in the church and the water
fountains were covered and marked "out of order," all we've read and
seen in the news suddenly became much more real.
HRC met with mayor and an usher briefly, and she said that she fight
to keep the lights from dimming on this.
The crowd was extraordinarily supportive. Her remarks were brief
(12/15) but strong, with powerful response.
Afterwards she took photos, she did a very quick local standup in the
sanctuary (all about Flint), met with a group of local pastors and
went into the stakeholders/electeds meeting with the mayor.
On the way to the airport we called the editor of the National
Newspaper Association, quick 5 minute interview on the importance of
Flint and their being many other Flints. Transcript to follow.
Descending back into NH now, going to do an OTR at the Puritan Backroom (!!).
