Hillary's recorded Senate votes for job destroying trade agreements. Just the Facts.

2003
Hillary voted FOR the
TRADE: U.S.-SINGAPORE(H.R. 2739) TRADE AGREEMENT

Votes For 66
Votes Against 32

U.S. and international labor and human rights activists long have fought to include strong and enforceable workers' rights standards, including the freedom of association, in trade agreements. The U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement negotiated by the Bush administration did not include enforceable core labor standards. The agreement also contained a new temporary guest-worker program for professional workers entering the United States from Singapore. The bill passed July 31, 2003, 66-32: Y=W; N=R (R: 44-7; D: 22-24; I: 0-1)


2004
Hillary voted FOR the
TRADE: U.S.-CHILE(H.R. 2738) TRADE AGREEMENT

Votes For 65
Votes Against 32

U.S. and international labor and human rights activists long have fought to include strong and enforceable workers' rights standards, including the freedom of association, in trade agreements. The U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement negotiated by the Bush administration did not include enforceable core labor standards. The agreement also contained a new temporary guest-worker program for professional workers entering the United States from Chile. The bill passed July 31, 2003, 65-32: Y=W; N=R (R: 43-7; D: 22-24; I: 0-1)


2006
Hillary voted FOR the
TRADE/OMAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT(S. 3569)

Votes for 58
Votes Against 35

The Oman Free Trade Agreement expands the failed model of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). Like NAFTA and CAFTA, the Oman agreement does not contain adequate environmental protections or enforceable protections for such core worker rights as the freedom of association. Oman is not a democracy, and its workers are unable to form independent unions or to bargain collectively. At the same time, the agreement allows any company incorporated in Oman to sue the U.S. government, undermining the ability of state and local governments to protect public health, strong communities and the environment. The bill passed June 29 on a 60-34 vote. Y=W; N=R (R:48-5; D:11-29; I:1-0).

Bernie Sanders Music Video Check it out. It rocks!





Below are the full lyrics to ‘Bernie Bae’.

We backed Obama
From the start
We wanted change and hope
But then it fell apart
I was feeling hopeless
And so cynical
Now you’ve got me focused
Bernie you’re a miracle
Was gonna vote Hillary
She’s not feeling real to me
Won’t vote O’Malley
Honestly, who is he?
You’re so progressive, and introspective
Wanna get you elected

I’m Bern-ing up for you
It’s never gonna stop
You’re much more than a human birkenstock
Your hair’s messy and white
But you fight for civil rights
Baby we can filibuster all night
Talk Bernie to me

We both say L’chaim
to Pro Choice
You believe the middle class
deserves a great big voice
I love your dream of
income equality
It makes me want to
contribute individually
Killer Mike, Steve Wozniak
Once you feel the Bern
You can’t go back
Art Garfunkel and Cornel West
That beats Kim K. and Kanye West
Your policies on corporate greed
always bring me to my knees
Wanna feed you Ben and Jerry’s
and some Vermont cheddar cheese

Hillary Clinton voted against the "Help America Vote" Election Reform Act of 2002! It passed 92-2

The Help America Vote Act overhauls our nation's election system by creating minimum national standards for voting machines, provisional ballots and statewide voter registration lists. The conference report passed Oct. 16, 2002, 92-2

The only two Senators to vote against the Act were Senators Clinton and Schumer of New York!

5 right-wing Republicans along with a Democratic Senator did not vote.

92 Democratic and Republican Senators voted for it.

A VIDEO Michael Moore Goes to Norway & Visits a Prison of the Future

This didn't make it into the film Sicko, but it's well worth seeing.

Michael Moore also visits a much more civilized conceptualization of what we think of as a 'prison'. Given what we know about human behavior and criminology, prisons in the US and many other countries are a scientific and humanitarian embarrassment.

Picture Shows Bernie Sanders Being Sent To A Gas Chamber By A Smiling Donald Trump!!! Outrageous.

Donald Trump Retweets Creator of Picture Showing Bernie Sanders Sent to Gas Chamber By A Smiling Trump




By Lior Zaltzman

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been littered with odd moments, but this one takes the cake.

This Friday, Trump’s official Twitter feed retweeted this Tweet that takes a jab at GOP rival Jeb Bush. It shows a photoshopped image of Bush in front of the Trump Towers, holding up a “Vote for Trump” sign.

Seems innocuous enough. Until you see the account it’s retweeted from: @WhiteGenocideTM.

The account promotes a pro-Adolf Hitler documentary “The Greatest Story Never Told.”

Maybe those rumors about Trump keeping Hitler speeches on his bedside table are true after all.

But that’s not even the worst of it. A @WhiteGenocideTM photoshop creation shows Trump in a Nazi uniform flipping on the gas switch on a gas chamber housing… Jewish candidate Bernie Sanders.

A VIDEO: Why African Americans are on FIRE for Bernie Sanders



We are the people. We are the media. And we’re ON FIRE for Bernie !!
SHARE THIS VIDEO IF YOU FEEL DA BERN !! (facebook, twitter, blogs,…).

THE CHANTS ARE GROWING LOUDER. The more of us that start voicing our opinions earlier, the more other people start getting informed or wanting to be informed. And that's really what this is all about. It's about awareness. We need to see the light before it’s too late.

WE SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS. Because he is genuine, he is honest and he has integrity and he is the only presidential candidate who has decades long consistency in taking a principled stand to confront, proclaim, and fight to address the issues that are most important to most Americans.

THE SANDSTORM IS COMIN’!! 80% of young people did not vote. His biggest supporter is young people. Vets love him, he is fighting for the elder, middle class. And it's time for whites and blacks to do something that the government hates and that's for us to finally come together for good. With Bernie we can do that!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is an outrage that we are still seeing intolerable acts of violence being perpetrated by police and racist acts of terrorism by white supremacists. African-American and Latinos comprise well over half of all prisoners, even though they make up approximately one quarter of the total US population.

SO PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO TO GET THIS POLITICAL REVOLUTION ROLLIN’. We need a societal transformation to make it clear that black lives matter and racism will not be accepted in a civilized country. Let’s stand together against Wall Street and the corporate media for a United States for all of us !!
