Hillary for President announced that 10-time Grammy winner,
Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, and American Idol finalist, Katharine McPhee,
will perform for Hillary Clinton and a crowd of thousands at the kick-off
of Club 44 in Washington, DC on June 6, 2007. Actress and comedian,
Caroline Rhea, will serve as the emcee at this family-friendly event.
Club 44 is the campaign's effort to identify and mobilize
young women voters who support Hillary Clinton for president. According
to a study by the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning
& Engagement (CIRCLE), in 2004, 12.5 million women between ages 18-24
were eligible to vote.
"Young women can play a major role in deciding who our
next president is," said McPhee. "It's important for all of us to get
involved in the political process, and I'm happy to do my part by being
part of this great event and performing for our next president, Hillary
Clinton."
Other notable women will also be present at the event
including: Senator Barbara Mikulski, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones,
former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former vice presidential
candidate Geraldine Ferraro, tennis legend Billie Jean King, human rights
activist Dolores Huerta, and EMILY'S List president and Club 44 co-emcee,
Ellen Malcolm.
In addition to the live musical performances, Caroline
Rhea will entertain the crowd with her signature wit and comedy. "I'm
thrilled to be sharing the stage with all these amazing women," said
Rhea. "This country is ready for change and Hillary is ready to lead
as the next president."
"I am honored to have Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds, Katharine
McPhee, Caroline Rhea, and all the other amazing women support me at
the launch of Club 44," said Hillary Clinton. "I believe this presidential
election is about taking our country in a new direction, and I have
the experience to get this country back on the right track. I am confident
that women will be at the forefront of our campaign to create real change
in America."

Event to Kick-Off Efforts to Reach Out to Young Women

Sen. Obama has picked a stellar cast of Clinton cohorts
to run his national security policy. Obama met with his new security
team led by such enlightened fumblers such as former Clinton Secretary
of Defense William Perry, former Clinton Secretary of State Warren
Christopher, former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and
ex-Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Madeleine Albright is best remembered for her intense
diplomatic effort to get North Korea to stop developing nuclear weapons,
culminated by a direct meeting with Kim Jong Il. The meeting with Kim
was a special occasion because Ms. Albright danced with the dictator
and gave him a basketball signed by Michael Jordon.
Ms. Albright recalled that the dictator was "charming"
and commented that he was a great dancer. Of course, Ms. Albright secured
nothing from Kim who continued his nuclear weapons and ballistic missile
programs unchecked despite the hot dance session with Madeleine.
