July 5, 2016--Former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton received a warm welcome at the National
Education Association's 95th Representative Assembly at the Walter E.
Washington Convention Center. "I want to say right from the
outset that I'm with you," Clinton told the 7,500 or more
delegates. "I can't be too presumptuous, but if I am fortunate
enough to be elected president, educators will have a partner in the
White House, and you'll always have a seat at the table." [transcript]

According to the NEA, the
Representative
Assembly is the world's largest democratic deliberative
body. During the speech it may have been one of the loudest, as
delegates made ample use of the thundersticks.
