Is Hillary Clinton the Right Choice for President?
Hillary Clinton is one of the most remarkable Democratic leaders of the new century. Let's all look back and think, for just a second, about the way things were for America back in the 1990s, after the Clintons got into the White House. We had relative peace. We had a budget surplus. We had a nation that valued science and education.
Wouldn't it be great to get that America back again? Some say that we can, with Hillary Clinton for President in 2008.
On the other hand, others point out that Hillary Clinton voted in favor of the Iraq War, and has cooperated with many of the right wing projects from the Bush White House.

To Whom it May Concern:
Can someone please help me to prosecute Mr. McCain? He stated that, "I will work for you". My general policy is that 'ask and you shall receive'. He caused a major chain of events to transpire and caused a huge panic seen around the world. In Texas, it is a crime to use any form of media to cause or to be caused a public disturbance which makes people afraid and use their money for their own protections.
Criminally he is a felon and should be charged with the death penalty here in Texas, should he choose to enter the state.
Civicly, there are no claims against this gentleman as very few people actually did anything that he said or believed him whatsoever.

Hillary's Top 8 Senate Moves
These are the eight best things Hillary Clinton has done in the U.S. Senate
- Senator Clinton has formally supported S. 14, which would raise the minimum wage from its current 55-year inflation-adjusted low. Than you, Senator Clinton, for acting to remedy this shameful situation.
- Senator Clinton did the right thing by voting against the Graham Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would have destroyed the right to habeas corpus.
- Senator Clinton voted in favor of amendment offered by Senator Carl Levin that would have established "a national commission on policies and practices on the treatment of detainees since September 11, 2001."
- S.J. Res 20 would have overturned the Bush Mercury Hotspot Rule, but if failed by a slim majority of 51. Senator Hillary Clinton voted for S.J. Res 20 in a valiant effort to keep Mercury hotspots from proliferating across the United States of America. It's a shame that not enough others joined you, Senator Clinton, but we thank you for your effort and your courage.
- In a display of insider pageantry devoid of substance, John Roberts has been confirmed as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and given his age, America will have to suffer under him for quite some time. But Senator Clinton was one of the few who stood firm and demanded actual information about the experience and professional history of John Roberts. If only more Senators had Clinton's backbone, America would have avoided the national shame that is the Roberts era.
- By voting to reject George W. Bush's choice of Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General, Senator Clinton took the common-sense position that it's unacceptable for the top law enforcement office of the United States to be a man who put his stamp on memos approving the use of torture, and who says the Geneva Conventions don't have to be followed.
- Senator Clinton has formally supported S. 20, which would expand access to family planning services for low-income families, giving poor families access to contraception, reducing long-term health care costs and cutting the rate of unwanted pregnancies.
- Senator Clinton has formally supported S. 266, which would make it a punishable offense for members of a president's staff to use government resources to create fake news releases for purposes of political promotion. Thank you, Senator Clinton for standing against the big government propaganda machine.
- Hillary clinton voted against the infamous Military Commissions Act of 2006.

The Promise Hillary Clinton Made To Chris Dodd... And Then Broke
Hillary Clinton didn't even show up to vote on the rotten FISA Amendments Act
Senator Hillary Clinton talked a good talk, but she didn't do what she promised to do. She failed to oppose the FISA Amendments Act. She failed to show up for her job.

And I really didn't know how I was going to vote. But then Hillary Clinton goes and engages in her violation of a promise and of her oath of office...

- fefe is right. Clinton is not a great choice for freedom of any kind. Why? She knows better than you do. Take an example in the enforcement for the Bradley Amendment circa 1994. Enter our saviors, Bill and Hillary Clinton to save the world again! Hillary is ready to 'reform' state child support laws again. Is that the president's job to mandate laws assigned to the state by the Constitution? It's her business now! She is waiting to do the same with your health care! Just give her the chance and see what happens...

- Top Earmark-er Clinton Grants $303,000 to 'Gay' Lobby Group
By Fred Lucas
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
January 24, 2008
(CNSNews.com) - A group that lobbies for needle exchanges, for allowing more immigrants with HIV/AIDS to legally enter the country, and for condom distribution in prisons received a $303,000 federal earmark pushed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
That was one of 261 earmarks Clinton personally helped usher through Congress. That's more earmarks than any other member of Congress seeking the presidency, according to an analysis by the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).
This specific appropriation is from the Department of Justice and is aimed at fighting methamphetamine use - that's what the Gay Men's Health Crisis Center is supposed to do with the taxpayer-funded money.
Clinton announced the grant in October 2007, a month after receiving a $750 donation and a $250 donation from Felix Lopez, an attorney for the Gay Men's Health Crisis and for a clinic based in New York.
A number of other non-profit organizations in New York state that received Clinton earmarks also had employees who contributed to her presidential campaign or political action committee, HillPAC.
Felix Lopez could not be reached for comment this week.
The funding for the earmarks came through the $555 billion FY 2008 omnibus bill, which included 11,000 earmarks. Clinton's 261 earmarks were more than twice as many as any other member of Congress seeking the presidency, the CAGW analysis showed.
Under ethics reform legislation passed last year, 2008 is the first year that members of Congress have to put their names on earmarks.
In announcing the earmark to the homosexual group last October, Clinton said: "The Gay Men's Health Clinic is providing a critical service in working to halt the devastation that methamphetamine brings to our community. With HIV/AIDS rates among meth users more than twice as high as the general public, these funds are essential in helping the Gay Men's Health Clinic continue the fight against HIV/AIDS through treatment and prevention."
The Gay Men's Health Crisis Center, based in New York City, has a public policy agenda for the federal, state, and city level that includes a needle exchange program to curb the spread of HIV, allowing non-profit groups to distribute condoms for free throughout prisons, and opposition to abstinence-only sex education.
The group says its top legislative agenda item at the federal level involves changing immigration policy to eliminate HIV/AIDS as grounds for inadmissibility as a disease of public health significance.
In a survey of presidential candidates by the Gay Men's Health Crisis, Clinton provided a "mixed position" on the issue of repealing the HIV entry ban. Her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, supports the repeal.
Both support needle exchange programs and the distribution of free condoms in prisons, and they oppose abstinence-only sex education.
The group scored Clinton at 92 percent and Obama at 89 percent. Only Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) beat Clinton with a 100 percent rating, the survey reported.
Krishna Stone, the Gay Men's Health Crisis assistant director of community relations, declined to comment on Clinton's earmark for the group and only said that the group does not endorse candidates and employees are free to contribute to whomever they like.
Stone also referred to a Dec. 28, 2007, news release from the organization praising the omnibus bill for its funding for the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC).
"We are deeply grateful to Senators Schumer and Clinton for their hard work to ensure this appropriations bill passed," said Dr. Marjorie J. Hill, the GMHC's chief executive officer, in the release. "Their leadership in addressing the rising rates of crystal meth use will help us prevent further HIV/AIDS infections."
But her comments were followed by Sean Cahill, managing director of public policy for the group, who said, "We're disappointed that this omnibus bill still contains millions for harmful and ineffective abstinence-only-until-marriage education and still contains the restriction banning the use of federal funds for syringe exchange."
'What kind of president would you be?'
Most of the 261 earmarks with Clinton's name on them went to New York counties and municipalities, universities and colleges, and charitable organizations.
For the candidates still in the primary race, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) had 46 earmarks, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) had 10 earmarks, Kucinich had 9 earmarks and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had no earmarks, according to the CAGW. McCain has campaigned on having no earmarks during his time in Congress, and he has pledged to eliminate them if elected president.
The obvious flaw in comparing earmarks by the candidates is that former Govs. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, or other candidates who didn't serve in Congress last year, can't be ranked, said David Williams, vice president of policy at CAGW.
"This analysis is supposed to ask: What kind of president would you be if you had 261 earmarks?" Williams told Cybercast News Service. "Would you be more likely or less likely to issue an executive order eliminating earmarks?"
Earmarks and campaign cash
Most of Clinton's earmarks included organizations that did not have employees who donated to her campaign. But many cases were notable. Most organizations did not respond to requests for comment.
The Clinton campaign did not respond to questions on the earmarks. But her Senate office provided a statement in response to questions by Cybercast News Service. The response did not address questions about any individual earmarks or questions concerning potential connections to campaign contributions.
"Sen. Clinton is very proud to have helped New York-based projects that train nurses, improve our hospitals, help those suffering from 9/11-related health ailments, bolster national and homeland security, and provide our brave men and women in uniform with the resources they need to achieve the mission while keeping them safe," said Clinton's press secretary, Philippe Reines, in a written statement to Cybercast News Service.
Faculty and administrators at the New School, a university in New York - which received more than $2.9 million in earmarks with Clinton's name on them - gave a total of $5,100 to her campaign last year. New School President Bob Kerry is a vocal Clinton supporter.
Mitchell Rosenthall, listed as president of Phoenix House, a drug rehab center with an office in New York, gave Clinton's campaign $800 through donations in August and September. The omnibus bill approved by the Senate in October included a $601,000 earmark with Clinton's name on it for the Phoenix House.
In addition, Reynold Levy, president of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, contributed $3,200 to Clinton last February. Clinton's name was on two earmarks worth a total of $890,000 for the Lincoln Center.
"I spoke with Reynold Levy, and he said there was no connection between the individual campaign contributions and earmarks," Lincoln Center Vice President of Public Relations Betsy Voice told Cybercast News Service in a written statement.
Numerous other private non-profit groups with Clinton earmarks had employees that gave less than $1,000, while other organizations had a significant number of employees that gave to Clinton in previous election cycles.
The relationship between earmarks and campaign contributors is all too common throughout Congress and can't be pinned on one member, said CAGW's David Williams.
"This not only casts a perception, but there are people in jail for this," Williams said, referencing politicians who were proven to have granted earmarks in exchange for campaign contributions or bribes. "If you're a member of Congress, this is not the way you should do it. Any federal funding should go through a competitive grant process."

- If you think that she has too many negatives and can't win the nomination, think again! The Hillary Clinton machine is tanked up with millions, but she is still vulnerable. We need to smoke her out on her views, demand that she weigh in on key issues, and expose her as WRONG for President in 2008.
