Chelsea Clinton sends a Mother's Day tribute

With Mother's Day on Sunday and with a campaign on the ropes, Hillary Clinton today released a video featuring her daughter Chelsea that makes public for the first time some family snapshots of Chelsea growing up.

It also features some very personal feelings from a former first daughter whose privacy the Clintons have tried to protect ever since their days in the White House, but who has taken on a more public role in recent weeks stumping for her mother.

"I’d like to tell you about my mom," an at times emotional-sounding Chelsea Clinton says. "Yes, she’s running for president, but she’s always done a lot of running. She’d run straight home from work to ensure we had dinner together every night and to help me with my homework. She’d run to school if I were sick and needed to be home with my mom taking care of me. She’d run from one softball game to one soccer game to every piano recital and every ballet recital. She’s always been, and continues to be, my biggest fan.

"Like so many loving and devoted mothers I’ve met across this country, my mom raised me to believe in the values that are most important in life: self-confidence, kindness, compassion, and most of all, the golden rule -- the values I know my grandmother passed on to her, and that I hope to be able to pass on to my children," she continues. "So as we celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, I invite everyone to sign this very special card I have for her. Please write and let her know what you wish for most this Mother’s Day.

"I know it’s my mom’s greatest wish that as president she can help all our children to feel safe, secure and loved and give every boy and girl the opportunity she’s given me to fulfill their dreams as I’m hoping to fulfill mine. I want to wish every mother out there a happy Mothers Day.

"And remember, your little girls can be anything they want to be in America when they grow up," Chelsea Clinton continues. "Even if it’s to be the second woman president."
