Hilary supporters launch ‘Ready for Hillary’ campaign

Washington: A group of supporters of Hillary Clinton have launched a campaign to push the top American diplomat to run for presidency in 2016.

Clinton is scheduled to leave the State Department as the Secretary of State on February 1.

In an email to Center for Public Integrity Black described ‘Ready for Hillary’ as “a small group of skilled and dedicated Hillary supporters and Obama supporters” who are ready to devote their “organisational expertise and energy to helping Hillary become president.”

Black said, “Our purpose is simple: we are ready to work for Hillary to be president when she is ready to run. When our website launches in a few weeks, we plan to reach out to our grassroots networks and contributors to mobilize them to support her.”

According to The Week, Black and Judy Beck, two veteran Clinton fundraisers, are spearheading the new organisation. They recruited Adam Parkhomeko, who helped launch a “Draft Hillary” movement in 2003 and was later hired by the campaign, to corral the far-flung vestiges of the Clinton campaign organization.

NGP Software, which designed the Clinton campaign website in 2008, has been hired by the PAC, The Week said. “We believe Hillary will see that 2016 is the right year, for the right woman for so many different reasons. The goal is to be as organised and ready as possible for Hillary at that time,” it said.

“We will keep the numbers we want a secret for now, but we will spend all the time between now and then to ensure she is the strongest candidate when it comes to who is ready to who is the most organized both online and on the ground. Stay tuned for the official launch of ReadyforHillary.com in January 2013!,” the group said on its Facebook Page.

The group yesterday unveiled its new logo. After four years of successful stint at the State Department, Clinton is expected to hand over the baton of American diplomacy to Senator John Kerry next week. Kerry’s nomination is likely to be confirmed by the Senate by then.
