Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday delivered three powerful speeches at DNCC events. The first, at the WomenCount launch, emphasized her commitment to getting more women elected to public office. The second, for EMILY's List, spoke to important challenges we face, and the third, as the final speaker in the Pepsi Center, called Democrats who supported her to support Barack Obama for President if they want the issues she has fought so long and hard for to be taken on in the White House.

Senator Clinton identified that not only is it important to elect a leader who not only supports universal healthcare, an issue she has championed for two decades, but also that it is essential that we make a commitment to easing the challenges for working families and that we get out of the war responsibly. Throughout these phenomenal speeches, she never faltered at providing a powerful message that women will not be ignored and women will be heard. And throughout the week in the Pepsi Center, women have been given prominent roles.

Just minutes ago, Senator Clinton called for an affirmation vote of Barack Obama as president, and Speaker Pelosi proclaimed him as the official party nominee. It was a historic moment for women and a historic moment as the first African American was nominated for a major political party for the role of Commander-in-Chief.

Senator Clinton in her speech for WomenCount asked us to keep fighting, and in her speech in the convention center Tuesday night, she called for continuing to help parents "balance work and family", she called for a "clean energy economy that will create millions of green collar jobs", and she echoed Barack and Michelle Obama's call to make America's education system world-class from preschool through college. She also called for a restoration of "fiscal sanity" and diplomacy. Finally, she remarked on how amazing it was that her daughter was able to vote for her for president.
