to think that Hillary will help you specifically more than Bernie will. They focus more on domestic policy because that's what she has spent most of her time doing. Although you'll see that she has attended to American international interests, as well, while Bernie was still mayoring, or whatever.

First and last, this is stuff all Bernie supporters should know.

As First Lady, Hillary...

1 A. With Attorney General Janet Reno, helped to create the Department of Justice's Violence Against Women office.

1 B. wrote a report of her observations for then Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. A primary effort they shared was globally advocating gender equity in economics, employment, health care and education. Albright was one of her closest Cabinet allies.

2. She actively supported the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), often awarding its micro-loans to small enterprises begun by women in developing nations that aided the economic growth in their impoverished communities.

3. Nick Littlefield, who worked with Senator Edward M. Kennedy and was the staff director to the Health, Education and Labor Committee at the time said, ''once we discovered that Mrs. Clinton was running a public advocacy organization inside the White House, it followed automatically that we would start talking to her.''

4. has claimed that the administration's program to guarantee free immunizations for poor and uninsured children, passed in 1993, ''was basically drafted in my office under my supervision.'' The program was a precursor to health care and its policy was largely rejected by Congress, but the Clinton administration did get $585 million for vaccines."

5. helped to initiate and promote the Children's Health Insurance Program, CHIPS,created by Congress in 1997 to provide $24 billion over five years to states to insure children. ''She was a one-woman army inside the White House to get this done,'' Mr. Littlefield of the Health, Education and Labor Committee said.

6. helped to write bills on adoption and foster care, and lobbied for them, helped pass them past old Trent Lott's objections. The bill, an administration priority intended to speed up the adoption of children in foster care, had been heavily promoted by Mrs. Clinton on Capitol Hill. Four days after her call, it passed the House and Senate and was soon signed into law by the president.


7. Jane Alexander, Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, has said, ''I don't think that the Endowment would be alive today if it weren't for strong White House support and...her very important role."

8. At the Agency for International Development, Brian Atwood, the administrator, said of Mrs. Clinton's grasp of complex development issues: ''She understands these issues better than 90 percent of the people who operate within the foreign policy community." "It is no coincidence," Mr. Atwood said, "that the Administration is seeking to slightly increase the budget for A.I.D. next year. She deserves more credit for that,'' he said, ''than anyone.''

As United States Senator ...

1. Secured, with Senator Schumer and New York's Congressional delegation, $21.4 billion for New York City's clean up and recovery.

2. Fought for the Victims Compensation Fund to provide substantial payments to 9/11 victims.

3. Extended Disaster Unemployment Assistance for 52 weeks.

4. Expedited benefits to the families of fire fighters, police and other public safety officers who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

5. Secured $10 million for mental health treatment for students in New York and $5 million for mental health treatment for public safety officers.

6. Ensured that no less than $500 million of nearly $2.7 billion in Community Development Block Grants funding be used for small businesses and residents in Lower Manhattan.

7. Co-sponsored the "Terrorism Risk Insurance Act" which the President signed into law in November 2002.

8. Secured $12 million for baseline screening and long-term health care for workers and volunteers at Ground Zero; brought national attention to the need for additional resources for health tracking.

9. Worked with FEMA so that $4.5 billion would go toward building a world-class transportation system in Lower Manhattan.

10. Secured $140 million for New York Hospitals and health care providers that responded to and were hurt by the disaster.

11. Worked to pass the National Construction Safety Team Act that eliminates bureaucratic barrier for safety teams to inspect buildings in the event of a disaster.

12. Hosted a Senate field hearing on air quality impacts of the WTC attacks, and pushed the EPA to test and clean indoor air in Lower Manhattan.

I got more. Because as a Democrat I did my homework.

I can claim from any of these past activities that
1. she will pursue the solidifying of women's reproductive rights and family supports.
2. she will publicly negotiate all domestic legislation by using the bully pulpit to persuade Republican voters that such laws serve their interests;
3. that she will be a great leader in providing disaster relief on the ground to Americans.

Don't get picky with me. I gave you three. And the bases for them.

Did I say I'm still a Bernie supporter through the primary and convention?
