Hillary's International Reputation
NOTES AND LEADS
Irish Voice endorses Hillary (take that, Ted!)
Of the two candidates we prefer Senator
Clinton. Her record on issues of importance to the Irish American community is
crystal clear. She was with her husband every step of the way during his
intervention in the Irish peace process, without which there would never have
been the successful resolution that we're currently witnessing in Northern
Ireland.
In her own right she played a significant role, visiting Ireland seven times and
creating cross community goodwill which lasted long after her trips were over.

Hillary’s independent contribution to N.Ireland peace process within the community
Please can the someone from the US Press share this information with Americans, because they are completly unaware of the international role that Hillary played as 1 st lady, and the US Press is making no scincere effort to do any research, ridiculing her role in N.Ireland as just sipping tea with women & watching her husband negotiate with leaders. Hillary played an overlooked independent role in working with the community to achieve de facto peace, via creating opportunities for and encouraging Catholic & Protestant women & the young to unite over universal social issues that concerned them such as the safety of their families, the role of women in politics (causes that Hillary herself was passionate about) etc, Many feel that Hillary’s experience in N.Ireland would be useful in suggesting how the Iraqi government can work with the various divisions within the community to unite over shared concerns of their childrens future after the war ends. I’ve provided a list of primary sources below as evidence of her contribution to the N.Ireland peace process found via a simple google search:
NOTE THE LINK IS MISSING ????????????????????
The NY times had a nice story about the death of a woman in India who was brought onto the international stage by HRC during the Beijing Women’s Conference when she was first lady. I still cant beleive there was NO media follow up to this story…
