Dear Friend--
Thank you. I am so proud and grateful to be an American.
For over 16 years, I have promoted Democratic and Republican women for U.S. president--and positions in the pipeline to the presidency.
Regardless of how you feel about the politics or policies of the 2016 presidential election, I hope you take a moment to appreciate the historic victory for American women on July 28, 2016 when Hillary Clinton became the first woman to win a major party's presidential nomination.
It sends a clear message that every American can reach his or her God-given potential and that we want the most qualified individual for the job, regardless.
For more than 147 years, American women have been campaigning to serve as U.S. president. As early as 1870, Victoria Woodhull declared herself a candidate for the 1872 presidential election--even before American women won passage of the 19th Amendment and the guaranteed right to vote.
The first major-party candidate, a Republican, ran in 1964. Senator Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, campaigned in five presidential primaries that year--finishing second in Illinois.
On the 100-year anniversary of women running for president, in 1972, three Democratic Congresswomen ran for president. Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm competed in 14 presidential primaries and won New Jersey, taking delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Florida.
Thereafter, both major parties nominated women for vice president: Democratic Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Republican Governor Sarah Palin in 2008. In 2016, the Democratic party became the first major party to nominate a woman as it's presidential nominee. We've come a long way, and there is plenty more to do on our path to victory.
On March 20, 2001, I appeared on The O'Reilly Factor to promote senators Hillary Clinton and Kay Bailey Hutchison for president . I stated, "Hillary Clinton understands nuclear weapons policy..., she is deeply committed to protecting our nation and our allies from the threats of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction..., and she could certainly claim some credit for eight years of unprecedented economic successes...."
Fifteen years later, American voters had the power to decide who would be the best Commander-in-Chief and who would do the best job on national defense, international security, jobs and the economy, and rebuilding our local economies--so that we can afford to maintain the best national defense. The majority of voters chose Hillary Clinton, by 65,844,610 votes compared to 62,979,636 votes.
While I trust the judgment of American voters, growing evidence suggests our election process was disrupted by foreigners. As we address these challenges moving forward, I pray that God will continue to keep our nation safe, strong and prosperous.
Thank you for your support of America's first woman to run as a major-party's presidential nominee, and thank you for giving me the historic opportunity to join you in supporting her. In addition, I want to extend special thanks to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for running to serve as our president and to her family and campaign team for supporting her.
God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.
