My job now is to not give up, to continue advocating and fighting for the issues Secretary Clinton ran her campaign on. I have to do that to show young girls in this country that they truly can grow up to be whatever they want to be - they need to know that they can grow up to be president.

President Obama pushed for fairness in the military, listening to commanders as we ended "don't ask don't tell," and on how to allow women to officially serve in more combat jobs - because America's daughters are just as capable of defending liberty as her sons.

On average, women need to be asked to run seven times before they actually do. While men, who are more likely to run, usually decide to do so on their own. We should be asking more women we know to run for offices across the spectrum - at the local, state, and federal levels.

My arm bones looked like chicken bones.

Of course climate change is real.

It's important to have women in leadership positions, because our experiences are different from those of the men we serve with and that helps us identify problems we can fix.

We are all dishonored when a veteran sleeps on the same streets that he or she has defended. We are all dishonored when a veteran's family has to live in a shelter while he or she is out fighting for us. WE NEED TO FIX THAT!
