I need DU's help. A friend told me he'd vote for Obama under one condition:

[Darth_Ole]

If I can provide him a list of seven pieces of legislation he's introduced since coming to the U.S. Senate that passed and affected policy in some way. Specifically, he'd like at least one thing concerning unions.

I can talk at length about Obama's policies until I'm blue in the face, but legislative history is something I'm shaky on and not sure where to look for this.

Please help. I'm in reddest Kentucky, but it'd be nice to get one more vote, right?

6. I think Frenchie Cat once posted this huge list of Obama's accomplishments.

[Rowdyboy]

7. Ask him for 7 peices of legislation thats McCain has passed and affected policy in a POSITIVE way...

He's had 26 YEARS and has produced next to nothing except making the MSM swoon. Didn't you hear? He was a POW and Candy Crowley and Tom Brokaw say he's a maverick!

[Cha]

19. candy crowley and tom brokaw thought bush

was the best candidate, too.

[Rowdyboy]

27. Aren't they both ever so clever? For forty years or so idiots like the two of them

have spouted "conventional wisdom" nonsense that has turned our country into a dysfunctional nightmare. The Crowleys, Brokaws and their brothers and sisters in America's media are just as responsible for the shit we live in as are Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. Damn them all.

[Cha]

16. Are those all signed?

Because that's actually a damned impressive list if that's signed legislation.

[soccermomforobama]

9. 2 I can think of

Obama-Coburn

Lugar-Obama

govtrack.us is a pretty good site

[CherokeeDem]

10. HI...I am in Lexington...

tonight I had dinner with two friends. One is going to vote for Obama but thinks McCain is a good man, the other hadn't made up her mind. I asked her why she was having issues with Obama and she wouldn't give me an answer. I asked if I could get some some information on Obama's stands on issues and the like and I was quickly told, "nope...got everything I need." Will try again but I told her that if she wanted to get this country back where it needed to be, then she needed to vote for Obama. All I can do.

You should check out Obama's Senate site, it should have his legislation listed.

[nebenaube]

14. don't bother...

virginia band here... your friend is a racist and nothing will sway her.

[chatnoir]

20. Having issues but wouldn't give you an answer why not

And quickly replies she's got everything she needs when you offer to give her more info?

Unfortunately, sounds like your friend's a racist.

[TTUBatfan2008]

22. "all I need..."

Meaning the lies in McCain's campaign ads and the right wing emails that have been circulating about Obama for MONTHS.

[Every Man A King]

23. If you are in Kentucky

Don't worry about Obama... get Bruce Lunsford elected.
http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=88b6ce24-c6b2-4bbd-8406-efe7ae2436a7&c=15

[billyoc]

11. Ask him who his union endorsed and tell him you're busy.

[kath]

24. BINGO - have him read the texts of various union endorsements.

BTW, I don't think any unions have endorsed McSame.

[pnwmom]

12. Remind him that with Bush vetoing most Democratic bills (his approach being

to sign bills only if they had majority Republican support), this is hardly the measure of a successful Senator.

[sandnsea]

13. Here are a few

Obama introduced his first legislation, the HOPE Act, which increased Pell Grants to $5100, and later joined Senator Kennedy on the Higher Education legislation that passed July 20, by a vote of 78-18. That legislation also included funding for Predominantly Black Colleges to assist with counseling, tutoring and other needs of low income students. It also creates the Teaching Residency Act which will create a school-based teacher preparation program in high needs schools to provide each teacher with a mentor, content instruction, classroom management skills, a master’s degree and state certification, and a 2 year follow-up program. -signed

On December 22, 2006, President Bush signed into law the “Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act,” -signed

S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls. The Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act is in response to numerous incidents of misinformation in the 2006 election to prevent legal voters from voting. Not sure

S692 – The Democracy Index – Will collect election data for comparative analysis, waiting in line, voters directed to wrong polling place, rate and reasons for discarded ballots, provisional voting rates, registration and election day complaints, voting system malfunctions. Not sure

S114 – Innovation Districts, would provide 20 grants for demonstration projects to identify best practices, retain highly effective teachers including pay incentives, improve teacher mentoring, place outstanding principal at every school, create Teacher Academies, and remove obstacles to innovation. -signed

S116 - Summer Learning demonstration project to provide summer learning grants and encourage new teaching methods. -signed

Introduced Amendment 3971 which improved the guest worker program in the Immigration Bill to include a formula for the Dept of Labor to calculate prevailing wage, require that jobs be advertised at the prevailing wage, and reduce the unemployment rate to 9% before guest workers can be hired in any given county. Not signed

Lugar-Obama Act to address weapons proliferation. -signed

USASpending.gov Obama-Coburn budget database -signed

Senate Ethics Reform -signed

Obama is a co-sponsor of the Employee Free Choice Act.

[eshfemme]

15. Hi, I'll try to help some.

This one I know for sure of-- the Google for Government, which puts the entire Federal budget online for people to look up. He did this together with Tom Coburn.

Upon further research, Obama also wrote an anti-nuclear proliferation legislation bill with Tom Hagel and an ant-WMD bill with Dick Lugar.

A good reference point would be http://obama.senate.gov/issues/ although it does seem to require some organization.

[quiet.american]

17. Doesn't your friend have "the Google?" Or is he in a cave? nt

And further, what's with the magic number of 7? Why not three or five?

[prolesunited]

18. Tell him he should vote Republican

since they are well know for their support of unions. Reagan was their best friend, I think.

[Every Man A King]

21. Tell him anything you need to

To get him to vote for Lunsford over McConnell. We don't need his vote for Obama.

[FrenchieCat]

25. Here are 7 bills, and then some.....

1. the HOPE Act, which increased Pell Grants to $5100, and later joined Senator Kennedy on the Higher Education legislation that passed July 20, by a vote of 78-18. That legislation also included funding for Predominantly Black Colleges to assist with counseling, tutoring and other needs of low income students. It also creates the Teaching Residency Act which will create a school-based teacher preparation program in high needs schools to provide each teacher with a mentor, content instruction, classroom management skills, a master’s degree and state certification, and a 2 year follow-up program.

7. Obama's Global Poverty Act of 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA) today hailed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's passage of the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. This legislation was introduced in December. Smith and Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House last September.

30. Here is the info, available on Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bills_sponsored_by_Barack_Obama_in_the_United_States_Senate

From the article:

"Obama has sponsored 136 bills since Jan 4, 2005. Two have become law. This figure does not include bills to which Obama contributed very substantially as cosponsor, such as the Coburn-Obama Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 or the Lugar-Nunn Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act of 2006. Nor does it include amendments to other bills, although in the Senate these are not required to be germane to the parent bill and can therefore effectively be bills in their own right. Obama has co-sponsored 619 bills during the same time period."

36. Tell him you'll vote for McCain/Palin if he can prove beyond any reasonable doubt that

Sarah Palin is qualified to head this nation.

IMHO, your friend sounds like he has no intention of voting for Obama even if you do provide a list.

[ColonelTom]

38. Now, if you can get him to vote for Lunsford instead of McConnell

You'll have something. Good luck!

39. Is there some reason he can't do his own research?

40. He's a scab, tell him that for me

If this guy is pretending to be pro-Union, and is even thinking of voting McCain, he is a scab in my book, as McCain bats a big zero on Union issues. Ask him for one union legislation that McCain has introduced. There is not one.
Your scab pal can kiss my Union ass.
