Re: Press Updates

Any thoughts would be appreciated as we want to get this out shortly. Thank you! ________________________________ Hi All, We’ve talked among the personal staff about HRC sending out a tweet to commemorate MLK Day, and the following is what we came up with. We wanted everyone to see it before it goes out in about 30 minutes. "What would MLK say if he was alive today? Much progress has been made but we must march on against injustice & inequality. #MLKDay" For context, here is what HRC tweeted last year: "As a teenager I saw #MLK<https://twitter.com/hashtag/MLK?src=hash> speak in Chicago & shook his hand. He urged us to stay engaged with the cause of justice. As vital as ever today." Nick Also I want to mention that a Daily Beast reporter from the hill beat emailed and asked the diversity question. I reminded him that anyone that’s come on to help out doesn’t replace those who have been close advisers for sometime, and I mentioned Cheryl and Maggie’s names. I don’t know that he’ll write but FYI. Hi everyone, We wanted to share a tweet HRC sent out a little while ago and give some background on it. In short, Barney Frank reached out to us yesterday and asked if she would engage on Dodd-Frank. He made the obvious arguments, that it would be good for her and good for him as he is spending a lot of time making the case for why the GOP chipping away at it is such a travesty. After thinking through the language with HRC, Jake, Dan, and Philippe, we tweeted the below. [https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/443004417596329986/3kgV0RJE_normal.jpeg] Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton<https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton?refsrc=email&s=11>) 1/16/15, 1:57 PM<https://twitter.com/hillaryclinton/status/556163273738166272?refsrc=email&s=11> Attacking financial reform is risky and wrong. Better for Congress to focus on jobs and wages for middle class families. Amy Chozick posted, here it is below. A Field Guide to Who’s Who in the Fledgling Clinton Campaign Republicans are already clawing for spots in next year’s presidential race, and so are the Democratic operatives who are meeting in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s living room and her New York offices. Mrs. Clinton, whose schedule has been unusually quiet of late, and her advisers are fielding résumés and talking to potential campaign aides (a mix of old and new). As the presumptive front-runner, Mrs. Clinton has her pick of talent. But several people with knowledge of the discussions say that some of the Democrats’ most gifted political professionals have decided, for the moment, that the safest place to be is on the sidelines. After all, in 2008, things didn’t end so well for Mrs. Clinton’s first campaign manager or her first chief strategist. So here’s an informal and wildly incomplete guide to the Clinton 2016 campaign as it slowly, quietly and cautiously begins to take shape (No, Mitt Romney has not called): People to impress: Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Evelyn S. Lieberman. Doesn’t tolerate drama: John Podesta. Will run things: Robby Mook (and his mafia). Dark horse: Stephanie Schriock of Emily’s List. Spin meisters: Brian Fallon or Jennifer Palmieri (a Podesta pick) Money man: Dennis Cheng. Policy wonk: Jake Sullivan. Message makers: Wendy Clark, the Coca-Cola marketing whiz, and Roy Spence, the advertising guru based in Austin, Tex. (“Don’t Mess with Texas,” or Hillary.) The X-Factor: Chelsea. – Amy Chozick I’ll use this to circulate things for discussion as they break. I’d also like to revisit getting a regular call on the books assuming we all agree that makes the most sense. For our first installment, here’s what we teed up with Maggie.
