She also clearly makes a stand against continuing to rely to any large degree on non-renewable resources and giving the scientific community more authority and right.
Clinton Platform;
Clinton's platform is currently relying very heavily upon the idea of helping the middle class. Her campaign bus is currently touring Iowa with a slogan of "The Middle Class Express." She is actively seeking middle class support, and her platform is dominated by issues resolving to make those who currently feel invisible in the current administration. She is speaking to the idea that the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer and the middle class is disappearing. The sentiment is a strongly held belief in middle America and the platform is strong, as it speaks to the current feeling of America.
If you place your mouse over the numbers next to Clinton's opening picture on her official website her position statement is detailed in her top ten campaign positions and points. 1. To end the war in Iraq. 2. To achieve universal, affordable healthcare. 3. To create good jobs for middle class Americans with the right investments in modern infrastructure and in new clean, energy-efficient technologies that reduce our dependence on foreign oil and combat global warming. 4. To provide world-class education form pre-kindergarten to affordable college for all. 5. To promote 21st century scientific innovation, including stem cell research. 6. To return to fiscal responsibility, move back toward a balanced budget, and safeguard Social Security and Medicare for future generations. 7. To restore competence and end cronyism in government, with a president who cares about and works for Americans who have been invisible to this administration. 8. To combat terrorism, strengthen our military, and care for our veterans. 9. To restore America's standing in the world and repair our alliances. 10. To build a more tolerant, united America, working to achieve big goals again, with a president who's ready for change and ready to lead from day one.
Though many of these statements may seem like simple talking points they are just that simple, concise and clear. Any weakness would likely be addressed by saying that her statements are lofty and look like those made by people seeking big election results rather than real change. The strengths on the other hand, are also significant, as her platform clearly responds to everything she thinks is important and skirts issues she believes should not be part of the process. She is responding to current American sentiment and she seems to possess the spirit of America in her statements. The platform conforms to her democratic party platform but it also speaks to her experience as a senator, first lady of both Arkansas and the U.S. And citizen of the U.S.
Most of her platform statements seem doable, if she is not trapped by a Republican congress, and she does have clear action plans, especially for sensitive issues such as Iraq, Social Security, Health care and diplomacy. The resolution to combat so many serious issues, may prove difficult in the future, especially since she makes it clear that she is not interested in cutting taxes to help the middle class but would likely raise taxes to improve services and demand change in other areas. One strong statement she makes involves national fiscal responsibility, an issue that can not likely be resolved without new or existing taxes being paid. All of the problems she has outlined as important need address, and yet it is also clear that they are all very large social changes that may not be cured, per say any time soon.
Reporting on Clinton is largely favorable, or have been up to this point. As the campaign begins to heat up and the democratic candidates, seeking endorsement by the party begin to challenge each other on issues the situation has become more critical of Clinton. Articles on Yahoo news, many of which are AP sourced, in the last few weeks have been favorable of her lead as well as stressing her lead in polls in Arkansas and her rivalry with Obama in the polls elsewhere. The main emphasis of recent Clinton coverage is that of her rivalry with Obama and the fact that he has recently begun to openly criticize her. Television and

IV. TESTING ON HUMANS The only thing that is lacking at this point according to all reports is for testing on humans to be completed.
