Hillary Clinton is Ellen DeGeneres’ first guest this season. And she’s asking you to tell her what she should ask the Senator, in her own, very Ellen sort of way.
Write your Hillary question here.
The Hillary camp has decided this is a good idea…so they’re soliciting questions that Hillary should ask Ellen.
And hey, you might as well leave a comment and tell us what you’re planning on asking.

I wouldn't necessarily comment on Ellen because I am not aware of how she supports the community in her private life outside of the show. The show is not on Logo and is not geared toward a gay audience. I am not defined, outside of the mainstream right wing thought, by my sexuality and don't make that a talking point in my professional life. i do show that I am a decent person by my actions and that in and of itself is sometimes enough to change the mindset of others. I personally don't watch her show any longer but certainly respect her and her partner. Let's not forget what she did on her sitcom .. that was earth shattering and a first on television (i.e. coming out). Isn't that enough? Let's not put all the weight on her shoulders, she did something huge. What about all of the other closeted gays in the industry who hide and don't stand up for the community? THAT would change minds.
Bottom line, the best thing for this country is to put the Bibles and Christians back in churches and out of politics. We left England and started the U.S. because forced religion on the public. The ancestors of those who fled are not the ones doing the same thing in the political arena. Oh, but the difference obviously is .. it matters WHO is the one controlling. We have become what we ran from.
What would you do about the victims of Hurricane Katrina that are still going through the same hardships that they faced 2 years ago that the nation has seemed to have forgotten?
You say you would allow gay servicemembers to be open about their oreintation. How would this affect members with civil unions/marriages?
would the military recognize gay marriage? Straight married couples serving in the military are sometimes offered co-location were they can be stationed together if not near eachother; would gay member be offered co-location? Deployments are a big issue right now, how would that affect gay servicemembers ( a couple )serving in the same unit, especially if they have kids, would gay partners be given seperation pay also?
I wanted to go career once I joined but am now opting to get out because I want to get married, if the military would recognize gay marriage and to serve openly then I would consider re-enlistment.
I would like you to ask Senator Clinton,
Do you believe that the Bush Administration has placed our country in a constitutional crisis and if so, what do you intend to do to restore the balance of powers back to the founders intentions of ‘checks and balances’ or do you intend to just step into all of the (stolen) executive 'privileges' that this Bush regime asserts as it’s own . Will you list the
crimes for us and let us know how our laws have been restored???
For example:
'Signing statements'
The right of Habeas corpus
the Geneva Convention
Secret policy decisions... ie Energy Policies, massive NO BID contracts
Etc, etc, etc……. on ad nauseam….
Don’t you agree that by “NOT impeaching” this administration for high crimes against our constitution, you legitimize the trashing of our laws, and make it that much easier for the next administration in power to continue to break and unravel our laws without impunity and to suit there own ‘ideology’…. just wondering. What is more important than maintaining our constitution? I really would like to know.
Why did the founding fathers mention IMPEACHMENT so many times in our CONTSITUTION?? To protect US from exactly what Cheney and Rove et. al.
have put into motion. And that motion NEEDS TO BE STOPPED dead in its tracks.
It’s the Constitution, stupid!! It’s the LAWS, stupid!!!!
Just a side,
If I were sitting with Hillary, just chatting, I would ask her…
Doesn’t it make you nuts that in only 3 months with about a 32% backing in the house and senate, they impeached Bill over (virtually) NOTHING, And that with this huge list of provable constitutional violations as well as a house and senate that was voted you in specifically to STOP THESE GUYS, that nobody is willing to IMPEACH??? What could be more important than this. You may be afraid of being accused of ‘pay-back’ but so what?? You want the absolute powers too? What if they steal the next election ???
Don’t you see that if it is not stopped now there will be no turning back. Just wondering……
Thank you for this opportunity to ‘ASK HILLARY’…
PS: I love you, Ellen !!!! We ALL do !!!!!!!!!!!!!
both women do what works for their own careers.
yawn...
let the ellen show write their own fluffy-lame questions to and for the dominant culture (their audience and sponsors).
i wish ellen wouldn't associate herself with the queer community when clearly we aren't worth mentioning on her own show.
ellen you're as phony as the color of your hair!
and as for hilary, you can hear her balls clank when she walks.
