Jennie Walker Quoted in Time Magazine, Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, and French Daily La Croix

June 5, 2008

I was mobbed by media last night during the Hillary Clinton rally at Baruch College.  Media outlets, which were 100’s, were in full force.  I was interviewed by media from France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Korea, and many US media outlets.  My quotes in support Senator Clinton and references to my “It’s Our Time” Song/Video that is on YouTube have made it so far in Time Magazine, Boston Globa, Philadelphia Inquirer and the French Daily Newspaper, La Croix.  Enjoy!

I also met President Bill Clinton for the second time and Terry
McAulffe for the first time at the event.  Both signed a promo card I
had on the It’s Our Time Music Video.

“Easily the most earnest pro-candidate song released this cycle. The video
shows a little too much of the singer singing into a microphone, and the
song is kind of generic, but it hits all of the country/soul/pop/rock
notes required in our time of American Idol homogeneity. About 3,700 views
on YouTube.”

Hillary Clinton Inspired Song Getting Noticed- It’s Our Time

April 27, 2008

The song/music video called “It’s Our Time” is gaining a big following among Hillary Clinton Campaign volunteers since I first spoke about it to the Westsiders for Hillary Clinton meeting in March 2008.

Last week, the Columbus Ledger Enquirer ran a story about the song.

A volunteer named Mary mailed me from my website to tell me she loved the song and was using her computer and internet skills to send the link all over the country, since her health issues prevent her from leaving her home to campaign for Senator Hillary Clinton.

The song has been posted many by pro Hillary Clinton websites and bogs as well as myspace pages. See the video at the link below:

Some sites that have covered this are:

Hillary Speaks For Me – http://www.hillaryspeaksforme.com (Music Video Section)

Hillary Clinton Quarterly — http://www.hillaryclintonquarterly.com

The Rake Report — http://www.rakesprogress.wordpress.com (blog)

My Girl Hillary — http://www.mygirlhillary.com (March Posts)

I have been approached several times about performing the song at Hillary Clinton fundraising events and just a few days ago, asked about sending a copy of the Video to a Hillary Clinton Fundraising event in  Florida.

All that said, I will make the song available to anyone who would like to use it for any fundraising or rally or campaign purposes.  And, if a live performance is warranted, we can find a way to make it happen.

Some people have left comments on the YouTube site, indicating they listen to the song daily.

We are at over 3,871 views on YouTube as I type.  That is astounding, as there were only about 300 views before I announced this video to the Westsiders Volunteer Group and started spreading the word on pro Hillary Clinton listserves on the DNC site and to Meet Up Groups for Hillary.  And, it is due to the enthusiasm by Hillary Clnton campaign supporters for the song, that it is getting out and doing its positive work for Senator Hillary Clinton!   A very special thank you to Taryn Hammond for pushing along the song and of course Ricki Lieberman, for being the first person from the group to view the song and leave a comment!

If you know anyone at all in the media (like CNN) or friends you feel would like to know about this song, please send the link to them.  It’s a very positive message out Hillary Clinton and that is very much needed right now. 

“It’s Our Time” was inspired by Senator Hillary Clinton’s Democratic primary win in New Hampshire. The song was co-written by Jennie Walker, a New York based singer, songwriter and charity fundraiser and Tommy Faragher, a Grammy nominated songwriter and producer in Brooklyn, New York.
