Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright walked through the door of the San Francisco campaign headquarters, and made a beeline to the tables of phone bankers. Secretary Albright thanked all the volunteers in the office, posed for photos and shared praises for Senator Hillary Clinton. Secretary Albright listened to the volunteers’ concerns on diplomatic issues. She paid special attention to the high school students, still dressed in their uniforms. Coming directly after school, Secretary Albright asked them what they were studying and if their academic program included information on the 2008 presidential elections.

“It was such a great honor to meet a woman who has made a huge impact on an international level,” said Ina Herlihy, a sophomore at Convent of the Sacred Heart high school. “Meeting Madeline Albright gives me the inspiration to make a difference in the world. She seems like a friendly genuine woman. Secretary Albright is a very inspirational role model for young women like myself.”

Secretary Albright took more photos, often surrounded by young girls who share the Secretary’s excitement for the Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. As an adviser to two previous presidents, a longtime diplomat and a professor at Georgetown University, Secretary Albright is qualified to dispense advice to the 44th U.S. President. Secretary Albright made history as the first woman to become United States Secretary of State, just as Hillary Clinton is the first woman to have a real chance to become president.

Secretary Albright recognizes that America needs a strong leader in the White House and it’s no wonder she strongly supports Senator Hillary Clinton.

The human line swirled around the Pavilion at UC Davis on Tuesday, January 15, unlike anything the school had ever seen before. Thousands and thousands of students and community members gathered, buzzing with excitement to see one man: President Bill Clinton.  Davis has not seen anything like this before: over 11,000 people came to show support for President Clinton.  What was so amazing was the fact that the event had only been announced 12 hours before it was to happen, and the students and supporters organized themselves to show an overwhelming outpour of support in such short notice.

Once inside, Bill's genuine speech and the jubilant Davis Band led the students in a riveting Rally for Change. Bill Clinton's assertion that his wife is ""completely trustworthy and will never crack under fire" brought loud cheers, with people fervently waving their "Hillary for President" signs high in the air. The overwhelming support shows that students are ready to dive into what is sure to be a truly exciting race to the White House.

Back in November 2007, President Clinton met with a group of women faith leaders in Oakland and Janice Mirikatani, Former Executive Director of Glide's 86 programs and wife of Reverend Cecil Williams, reflected on the time that both Chelsea and President Clinton attended Glide Memorial Church many years ago.

On Sunday January 13, Chelsea returned to Glide.  Anyone who has attended Glide knows that it is an experience that awakens the heart, mind and spirit.   Chelsea attempted to keep a rather low profile sitting in one of the middle pews with her closest friends.  That is until Ms. Mirikitani spoke to the congregation and recalled Chelsea's last visit and acknowledged her to the whole congregation.   The crowd erupted in applause and everyone jumped up and gave her a standing ovation.  Chelsea a bit overwhelmed and humbled by all of the attention shyly waved and thanked everyone for the warm welcome.

After the service Chelsea headed down stairs to the main hall to greet everyone and thank them for having her.  And almost the entire congregation formed a long line to give her a hug or shake her hand, including the oldest member of Glide, an African American lady who is 101 years strong.  Everyone was so excited and honored that she came to Glide.  The members asked her to tell her mom hello and to keep the faith.   Chelsea then replied, "I will and don't forget to vote!"

Chelsea continued her tour with a stop at the San Francisco campaign office.  Campaign volunteers were very excited and surprised by Chelsea's visit since most, if not all, of the volunteers weren't expecting to see the daughter of both our former and future president. After shaking many hands and posing for many photos, she was swept away, onto her next stop here in the golden state.

As she did in Los Angeles the day before, Chelsea spoke with students and young voters including the University of California, Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, where she was greeted by an enthusiastic group of students, alum, and community members.  At the start of the event, Adrian, a six-year-old child of a Hastings student, resoundingly declared, "I'm voting for Barack Obama."  Not to be deterred, Chelsea engaged the budding political commentator in a pointed, yet suitably sophisticated policy debate.  She then moved through the crowd, masterfully answering hard-hitting and detail-oriented questions from the many undecided voters in the law school crowd.  By the end of the discussion, everyone was a Hillary fan, especially little Adrian.

Chelsea also visited her alma mater, Stanford University, where she sat down with a group of 25 students and discussed the major issues of Hillary Clinton's campaign, fielding question regarding the war in Iraq, Hillary's healthcare plan, and her mother as a feminist role model.  Chelsea then stopped by an on-campus sorority house, where more than 100 young women of all political identities gathered to hear her speak about Hillary.  The opportunity to have Chelsea speak as someone who relates to young voter and as a member of the Stanford community, resonated strongly with the students, who have been seeking more direct insight into Hillary's campaign and policies.

And so ended Chelsea's whirlwind tour around California, giving people, young and old, a story to tell their friends about meeting and talking to Chelsea Clinton about her mother's candidacy.  The connections she felt with our great Californians were mutual, and she will always be welcome here in the Golden State.

It’s not uncommon in Los Angeles, to be shopping for groceries and run into a celebrity.  You could be at the local coffee shop and stand in line behind the star you just saw on the big screen.

For those shopping at the local farmers market in Santa Monica on Saturday January 12, they got an unusual treat that even the hard-to-impress Angelenos were taken aback by: daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton.

Chelsea, sans her mother, stopped by several local spots in Los Angeles, talking to voters and asking for their support for her mom.  The day started at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, where people were going from booth to booth shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables.  What they weren’t expecting was to run into a jean-clad Chelsea, beaming with pride as she spoke about her mother.  Parents put their babies in her hands to pose for pictures, vendors offered delicious treats, but most importantly, Chelsea got a first-hand look at the overwhelming support Senator Clinton has in the southland.

Next stop: The Abbey, a popular restaurant and bar in the heart of West Hollywood where Senator Clinton visited a few months ago.  Chelsea enjoyed the delicious food, while talking to a dozen undecided voters.  The mood was light and casual, but the conversations were deep with policy and the elections.  As she was leaving the restaurant, some of the restaurant-goers yelled out “We love your mom!” and Chelsea was quick to respond “Thanks! Don’t forget to vote on February 5!” and then, she was off.

The day continued onto the L.A. headquarters, where Chelsea talked to volunteers and posed for pictures and then onto another popular farmer’s market by “The Grove.”  As she had done earlier, she talked to shoppers about absentee voting, posed for pictures, waved at the passing trolley, and enjoyed some quality “eye-shopping” time.

A point Chelsea had stressed while planning her trip, was that her main objective was to speak to young voters, mainly college students, about the issues that affect them the most.  Chelsea visited groups of students from UCLA in Westwood, including the campus Democratic Club and a couple of Sorority houses.  While the students were eager to meet Chelsea, they were more interested in finding out her thoughts and opinion on the issues that they are interested in since she too has the young voters’ perspective.  During the q&a session, issues ranging from Iraq, health care, and immigration were brought up.  Voters have been hearing each candidate’s positions on these issues, but the younger generation doesn’t feel like their questions have been answered.  To have Chelsea, someone who sees the issues through their eyes, talk to them, answer their questions, and put the issues into a perspective that actually speaks to them was something that they have been craving.  While other candidates might appeal to some younger voters, the students Chelsea spoke to realized that Hillary Clinton will actually make their futures better, with her innovative agendas for the youth and the country as a whole.

At the end of a long and exciting day, I believe Chelsea felt confident in the power of reaching out to voters on a personal level and that California will remain as “Clinton Country.”
