Hillary Clinton Launches Presidential Campaign Website, Video Includes Gay Couples (And Cute Puppy)
HillaryClinton.com has been updated to a full-fledged presidential campaign website, with the tag line, “This Starts With You.”
A top aide just emailed supporters announcing Hillary Clinton is running for President, and the HillaryClinton.com website has been transformed into a presidential campaign site, Hillary For America.
The campaign’s theme is “This starts with you,” and features an excellent two-minute video highlighting an exceptionally diverse group of Americans, including two same-sex couples, titled, “Getting Started.”
The ordinary Americans in the video are all talking about their lives and what they’re getting ready, getting started to do. Clinton appears toward the end.

“So I’m hitting the road, to earn your vote. Because it’s your time, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey.”
