CONGRADS OBAMA,

GOOD RACE HILLARY, YOU MADE OBAMA A BETTER CANIDATE!



Let's take a closer look at who's really qualified and or who's
really working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or
Clinton. Records of these two candidates should be scrutinized in
order to make an informed decision. Senator Clinton, who has served
only one full term - 6 yrs. - and another year campaigning, has
managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of
legislation in her first six years. These bills can be found on the
website of the Library of Congress www.thomas.loc.gov, but to save
you trouble, I'll post them here for you. 1. Establish the Kate
Mullany National Historic Site. 2. Support the goals and ideals of
Better Hearing and Speech Month. 3. Recognize the Ellis Island
Medal of Honor. 4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall. 5. Name
courthouse after James L. Watson. 6. Name post office after Jonn A.
O'Shea. 7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart
Recognition Day. 8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple
Heart Recognition Day. 9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander
Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death. 10. Congratulate the
Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the
championship. 11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's
Lacrosse Team on winning the championship. 12. Establish the 225th
Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program. 13.
Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda. 14. Honor Shirley
Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on
her death. 15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford,
firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's
bills are, more substantive. 16. Extend period of unemployment
assistance to victims of 9/11. 17. Pay for city projects in
response to 9/11 18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as
protected in the wilderness preservation system. There you have it,
the fact's straight from the Senate Record. Now, I would post those
of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly
categorize. During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected
service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced 233 regarding
healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime
fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and
anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others. His first year in the U.S.
Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These
inculded **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 -
became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and
Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, **The
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007
Government Ethics Bill, - became law, **The Protection Against
Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written
890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for
someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would
prefer that this comparison not be made public. He's not just a
talker. He's a doer. Pass it on....It's impressive
