Last night in Denver, Senator Hillary Clinton delivered a powerful call to continue the fight for the causes that drove her campaign by uniting behind Barack's nomination for president of the United States. Senator Clinton echoed Harriet Tubman, the great engineer of the underground railroad, urging Democrats to keep fighting for universal health care, for equal pay for equal work, and for the voices of Americans who have been left out of government these past eight years. “I want you to ask yourselves,” Senator Clinton said to the more than 18 million Americans who voted for her during the primaries, “Were you in this campaign just for me, or were you in it for that young Marine and others like him?” Senator Clinton’s former supporters gathered last night in homes around Pennsylvania to hold Unity Parties and watch the Senator’s address. Pennsylvania Women for Obama director Alexandra Traber attended a Unity Party in Montgomery County and shares this report:
Supporters of Barack Obama and former supporters of Hillary Clinton gathered on Tuesday night across Pennsylvania to watch Senator Hillary Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Convention and to celebrate her historic campaign! At one of the parties in Montgomery County, the former Hillary supporters donned eye glasses so that they could see this election through “fresh eyes” and continue the fight for equal pay, affordable health care, a strong economy and a brighter future for us all. These women have promised to work just as hard for Senator Obama as they did for Senator Clinton because the stakes in this campaign are just too high not to!
