CLINTON: Not who she wants you to believe
On Sept. 14, 2001, Hillary Clinton, New York's junior senator, visited Ground Zero. You might not have read it in the New York Times, but many of New York's finest, the police officers and firemen, refused to shake her hand."Did you know: "On Oct. 20, 2002, she was literally booed off the stage at Paul McCartney's benefit concert for New York? The boos were substantially edited out when the tape was sold to the public." (from http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/818364/posts)Did you know even though she sits on the Senate Committee on Armed Services, that under her watch, "James J. DiGeorgio and Carl Steubing died in ways no war veteran should. They were subjected to illegal drug experimentation by employees of the Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Albany, N.Y.; killed by servants of the very government they fought to protect." (from http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0828-24.htm)As with all of the Republican candidates running for president, Hillary Clinton takes contributions and donations from several Political Action Committees (PAC) toward her campaign.That money goes into her pocket for her election just as the PAC's go into her pocket for "favors" later toward legislation.Barack Obama, on the other hand, takes money only from the American public -- they are the ones to whom he will be indebted and obligated.The question becomes, do you want a president who owes PACs favors, or one who owes the American public? I believe it's time we made that decision for the presidency as well as all members of the United States House and the Senate.
Man falls from skyscraper, lives to tell the horror
Doctors say they have never seen anything like it: A window washer who fell 47 stories from the roof of a Manhattan skyscraper is now awake, talking to his family and expected to walk again. Alcides Moreno, 37, plummeted almost 500 feet in a December 7 scaffolding collapse that killed his brother. Somehow, Moreno lived, and doctors at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center announced Thursday that his recovery has been astonishing. He has movement in all his limbs. He is breathing on his own. And on Christmas Day, he opened his mouth and spoke for the first time since the accident. His wife, Rosario Moreno, cried as she thanked the doctors and nurses who kept him alive. "Thank God for the miracle that we had," she said.
