From the National Organization for Women (NOW) endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President:

At the national level, NOW PAC will work to increase public awareness of the extraordinary career, accomplishments and leadership of Senator Clinton. Our members will conduct voter registration drives, make phone calls and go door to door to encourage women to vote as if their future depended on it, because it does. Finally, we will help elect feminist candidates to the House and Senate who will work with President Clinton to undo the damage done by the Bush administration.

Hillary Clinton and the sweatshop tycoon of Saipan

March 2006- The Hill reported on Sen. Hillary Clinton's acceptance of campaign donations from an alleged sweatshop operator
 
According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Willie Tan and members of his family contributed a total of $8,000 to "Friends of Hillary", the Senator's political action committee in late 2005.

Willie Tan has received great levels of condemnation from Democrats in the U.S. Congress, who accuse him of paying his garment factory workers substandard wages.  He has also cultivated relationships with Washington insiders to continue his home territory of the Marianas Protectorate's exemption from U.S. labor laws.

Arkansas Ethics

March 1992- The New York Times reports that, while Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton and his advisers made last minute changes to a proposed ethics law, in order to delete any conflict-of-interest provisions for the Governor.

If subject to the law's conflict-of-interest provision, Gov. Clinton would have had to disclose all transactions in which his "duties would include the taking of an action or the making of a decision that may cause financial benefit or detriment to him, to a member of the public servant’s family or a business in which he or she is an officer, director, stockholder owning more than 10 percent of the stock of the company, owner, trustee, partner or employee, which is distinguishable from the effects of the action from the public generally or a broad segment of the public, shall: prepare a written statement describing the matter requiring the action or decision and stating the potential conflict."

Then-Gov. Clinton's wife, Hillary, was a partner in the Rose Law Firm, which did business for the State, and also had a significant level of business representing clients in disputes with the State.  If subject to this law, Gov. Clinton would have had to report all such conflicts-of-interest periodically.

On this date in Hillar-istory- 1994

The New York Times, in an interview with attorney Randy Coleman, reports that Coleman's client, David Hale, had reached a plea agreement regarding his involvement in the Whitewater scandal. 

David Hale, a former Arkansas judge, owned a company called Capital Management Services, which originated loans to businesses led by women and minorities.  These loans, once approved by Hale's company, were funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

In 1986, Bill and Hillary Clinton's Whitewater business partner, Jim McDougall, arranged for a $300,000 SBA loan through Hale's company.  McDougall arranged for the loan to be made to a company owned by his wife, Susan McDougall, in order to give the appearance that the funds were to be used by a "disadvantaged" business.  Instead, the funds were used by Jim McDougall as funding for several of his enterprises, including his joint-venture with the Clintons, Whitewater.
