APPHOTO FLWA114: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a Grassroots Organizing Event at the Meadow Woods Recreation Center, Wednesday, Dec., 2, 2015, in Orlando, Fla. And the shootings in San Bernardino, which left 14 dead and 21 wounded, show that it’s an issue that will only reappear throughout the race with each subsequent tragedy. She says the fight must occur online given the sophisticated use of the Internet by groups. “They run multiple Twitter accounts and other kinds of accounts”, Clinton told reporters after a town hall event. “I knew she was going to start with that”. “Why should we let it continue if we’re dealing with a terrorist network?” Seeing that tens of thousands of people have routinely packed stadiums to hear the senator, initially dismissed as without a hope in hell of achieving the nomination, fills me with hope that another progressive era in America could actually await on the horizon and that it’s no longer political anathema to suggest that democratic socialism, as Seth MacFarlane remarked at a Sanders rally in Los Angeles, “can and should coexist” with capitalism. After the nine people were killed in a Charleston, South Carolina, church, Clinton said the United States has to “keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable while respecting responsible gun owners”.

“I’m not shouting. It’s just that when women talk, some people think we’re shouting”, she said in an oft-repeated line through the end of October. “We need to take action now”.
Clinton’s two stops in Iowa, the home of the nation’s leadoff presidential caucuses, were also about plugging a new plan to rebuild the nation’s aging transportation system. An additional $25 billion would fund a national infrastructure bank, reprising a proposal by President Barack Obama that has been blocked by congressional Republicans.
Labor Sec. Tom Perez on Friday will become the third Obama cabinet member to officially endorse Hillary Clinton as he campaigns with her in Iowa.
Clinton has been outspoken about gun control for much of her campaign, focusing on the issue and repeatedly calling for “common sense” gun control.
Just before the video’s release, Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder for the incident, marking the first time a Chicago police officer had been charged with that crime for an on-duty fatality in almost 35 years, the Chicago Tribune reported. She now has the backing of 16 unions that collectively represent some 11 million workers.

Perez said that he was standing behind Clinton because she is “tough, smart, and understands better than any candidate the challenges that parents are talking about around dinner tables and keeping families up at night”.
