Hillary Clinton Campaign Song Round 3: Vote for the Top 5!

In the past couple weeks, Hillary Clinton has traveled back to some of the early voting states, she gave a very important economic speech, spoke at the National Council of La Raza convention, visited Democrats in Congress, released her campaign's quarterly financial report, held her first town hall meeting of this campaign and attended the Iowa Democratic Hall of Fame (where all five Democratic candidates were together at the same time) and the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Arkansas. On the Republican side, the 15th GOP candidate entered the race--Scott Walker (who says the minimum wage is lame--seriously?!). And Donald Trump isn't backing down from his controversial comments on immigration and his attacks against John McCain. I'd say the Democratic side is doing much better, wouldn't you agree?

Speaking of Hillary, our Hillary Campaign Song contest is entering Round 3! After submitting a bunch of songs, you voted and narrowed down the list to 20 and then to 10. Last week, I revealed the Top 10 songs on both Twitter and Periscope. Now it's time to vote again!

If you missed the reveal, here are the Top 10 songs you can vote on right now: "American Girl," "Brave," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Fighters," "Girl on Fire," "Respect," "Roar," "Run the World (Girls)," "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" and "Woman in the White House."

This means the 10 songs that have been eliminated are: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Ain't No Stopping Us Now," "Beautiful Day," "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)," "Eye of the Tiger," "Firework," "I Am Woman," "Simply the Best," "Survivor" and "Our Country"

Like with the first two rounds, in Round 3 you will be able to vote for more than one song--this is the final week you will be able to vote for more than one. Voting will again last one week and the results will determine the Top 5, with half being eliminated.

Voting for Round 3 is open from Monday, July 20 at 10am PT to Monday, July 27 at 10am PT. Use the form below to vote. And feel free to share this blog post on all of your social media pages so that as many Hillary supporters as possible can participate. (Use the hashtag #HillaryCampaignSong.)

Scroll below the form for YouTube videos of all the songs and links to read the lyrics. Reading the lyrics can be useful in seeing if a song is fitting for a campaign--and for Hillary's campaign in particular. (If one of videos or links doesn't work, please let me know so I can correct it.)

Keep in mind that I am not affiliated with Hillary Clinton or Hillary for America, so these polls are not being used by the campaign to find an official song; this is just for us to show our support and have some fun along the way. But if anybody from the campaign wants to take these results into consideration, please do!

A Hint of Things to Come: In August, there will be no off weeks; rather, each week there will be a new round of rapid-fire voting to find out which song is in fifth place, fourth place, etc. Tied to each round will be a giveaway of some kind. I can't say what the prizes are just yet, but if you're a Hillary supporter, you'll definitely like them.

Hillary Campaign Song Round 2: Vote for the Top 10!

A lot has happened since the last time I posted on this blog. Hillary Clinton gave a fiery speech at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Virginia, and her campaign announced it has raised $45 million. Marriage equality is now legal in all 50 states thanks to the Supreme Court! SCOTUS also ruled in favor of the Affordable Care Act again. And, of course, Donald Trump was fired from everything. It's been an amazing past couple weeks. There was a lot to celebrate in this country on Independence Day this year.

But bringing it back to Hillary, you all had the chance to vote in Round 1 of our Hillary Campaign Song contest. There were 41 songs to choose from based on the submissions that came in. The votes have been tabulated and it's time to announce the Top 20 and start voting once again as we continue the process of finding a song that we Hillary supporters believe should be her 2016 campaign song!

The Top 20 songs you can vote on right now are: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Ain't No Stopping Us Now," "American Girl," "Beautiful Day," "Brave," "Don't Stop Believin'," "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)," "Eye of the Tiger," "Fighters," "Firework," "Girl on Fire," "I Am Woman," "Our Country," "Respect," "Roar," "Run the World (Girls)," "Simply the Best," "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," "Survivor" and "Woman in the White House."

Like with Round 1, in Round 2 you will be able to vote for more than one song (since there's still a lot to choose from). Voting will last one week and the results will determine the Top 10, with half being eliminated.

Voting for Round 2 is open from Monday, July 6 at 10am to Monday, July 13 at 10am. Use the form below to vote. And feel free to share this blog post on all of your social media pages so that as many Hillary supporters as possible can participate. (Use the hashtag #HillaryCampaignSong.)

Scroll below the form for links to listen to all the songs and to read the lyrics. Reading the lyrics can be useful in seeing if a song is fitting for a campaign--and for Hillary's campaign in particular.
