MADE NOW 2. I am not looking for a SAVIOR in a president who has the ability to walk into office and solve all the world’s problem. We need someone to work the system. Someone who can work with Congress, which still may be under Republican control in 2017. From being a very active First Lady of the United States, US Senator to Secretary of State --- NO ONE on this ballot knows the system better than Hillary. 3. For those who want radical, REAL progressive change, seeing things like criminal justice reform, national policing standards, real immigration reform with a path to citizenship, LARGE investment in public educations and jobs, Gun Reform, Women’s Rights are important. HRC wants and is on the right side of all of these issues. I am not looking for a SAVIOR in a president who has the ability to walk 4. Something that we ALL should have learned from the Obama years is that a president is pretty limited without a Congress that is willing to work with him or HER. So if we want some real change in this country, let’s give the Senate and the HOUSE back to the democratic party. If we don’t want the status quo, let’s push a real progressive agenda and give our ideas and our candidates a chance to really govern! What does this mean? Well, if we don’t win control of BOTH the HOUSE and SENATE it solve all the could be 2016 all over again. We must SHOW UP in 2 years world’s problem. for the midterm elections and kick people out of congress that are not making the change we want to see! A president can only do so much. Madam President will need allies in Congress. If we want a real political revolution, let’s get it. This is on us, but I believe we would have a friend in The White House to push the agenda we want to see. into office and made-magazine.com | 27 CREDITS: Photos: Google Images
