[Vision2020] VP Nominee Joe Biden

Thu Aug 28 06:04:22 PDT 2008

Fine, Mr. Harkins.  Let's focus on Joe Biden's senate record.

Bills introduced/sponsored by Senator Joe Biden as reflected at:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/person.xpd?id=300008&tab=bills

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:S.3218:

(Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar - July 28, 2008)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN2756:

Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008

S. 1738: Combating Child Exploitation Act of 2007
(placed on Senate Calendar - July 7, 2008)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN1738:

S2106: Procedural Fairness for September 11 Victims Act of 2007
(enacted November 8, 2007)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:S.2106:

S. 1687: Global Pathogen Surveillance Act of 2007
(enacted September 11, 2007)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN01687:

S. 1515: National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network Act
(placed on Senate Legislative Calendar - July 29, 2008)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN01515:

S. 1011: Recognizing Addiction as a Disease Act of 2007
(enacted August 1, 2007)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN01011:

S. 368: COPS Improvements Act of 2007
(placed on Senate Legislative Calendar - May 24, 2007)
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:SN0368:

S.Con.Res. 2: Iraq War Policy resolution

S. 3433: A bill to ensure that any agreement with Iraq containing a 
security commitment or arrangement is concluded as a treaty or is approved 
by Congress.

And so on and so on and so on and . . .

Furthermore, Joe Biden's son Beau (the Delaware Attorney General) is 
scheduled to deploy with his reserve unit to Iraq (for a year) in 
October.  This strongly reflects loyalty, patriotism, and commitment.

I assume that Mitt Romney's sons will be participating (again) in their 
father's campaign as a measure of their patriotic duty.

Thanks for the opportunity te present these facts, Mr. Harkins.

And . . . please leave the name-calling and arrogance off-line, ok?  We 
already know who you are.  We don't need to be reminded.

Seeya at Farmers' Market, Moscow.

"We're a town of about 23,000 with 10,000 college students. The college 
students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
