It's now just over a month that I have been in to win.

It's been exciting and challenging and fun all at the same time. The people I have met have been terrific. 

And we decided day one that this campaign would live as much on the web as in the living rooms - and the opening of the blog is just another in the many web firsts in this campaign, following the unprecedented announcement and three straight nights of live video chats.

I believe that the web is not only creating new forms of political dialogue but offering a new wave of opportunity for all Americans - and one of my highest priorities will be to make us number one again in the world in broadband. If we are not at the forefront of the web as a nation, we simply will not be able to keep up our role as the world's leading innovator. Net Neutrality is something that I am also fighting for now in the Senate so that the web remains open and democratic.

I appreciate the hundreds of thousands of you who are participating on this site in one form or another.  This is truly the dialogue decade, and through the miracle of technology I can talk WITH you, not just at you. I will be holding more web chats soon, and I have started a "HillCast," a regular web broadcast that will be about some of the most important issues I am tackling. The first one was on my plan to end the war in Iraq and the next one will be on the energy crisis we are facing. I believe campaigns are about ideas - and how together we turn those ideas into action.

I have been reading through the comments you all have been making - many of them encouraging,  some critical and some with great suggestions - all of them are appreciated. We have gotten off to an exceptional start, and in the coming months I look forward to talking with you more about my specific plans to restore what I call the promise of America, and I will look forward to your comments. Hopefully I will also see you out there on the campaign trail.

This president race is not about women for hillary. It is disrespectful for you to be like that. EVERYONE that claims to want equal rights needs to know there is a equal balance for equality. EVERYONE THAR CLAIM TO WANT EQUAL RIGHTS IS A LIE.

For example. non-smokers wanted their non-smoking section. They got it. did they stop there? NO!
Now you cant smoke anywhere but, You sure can jump in your automobile and drive off. what comes out of a exaust pipe on any vehicle puts out 1000 times more harmfull chemicals than cigaretts. Do you hear non-smokers complain about that? NO! They load up in their vehicals to go fight about smokers.Thats (STUPID)!!!

I have stumped EVERYONE who starts in about smokers. what they are doing in their cars as they cry about smokers. dont get me wrong. I wish I could stop but, I started at a young age when tobaco co. targeted young kids. I can only pray one day I can stop but, people that are putting serious chemicals in the are w/ cars, trucks and airplains complaining abour smokers is plain old DUMB!

If you have no balance to Peoples rights you do not want equality!

You have all of our votes. Please stop crying about equality. NO ONE WANTS IT, Thats their claim but we ALL know its not true!

Like I said You HAVE OUR SUPPORT & VOTE!

We pray you win!!!!
