Oh yeah, and for helping her win the Indiana primary. She says she’s going to keep on campaigning and if anyone wants to help out, she’d be grateful.

She asks us all to sign her card.

Sound bite: “I want to wish every mother out there a happy Mother’s Day. And remember your little girls can be anything they want to be in America when they grow up. Even if it’s to be the second woman President.” (Or maybe vice president….)
