Feb 2016

As mentioned above, there were no laws made.

These passed the Senate:

S.Res.52 - A resolution honoring Shirley Chisholm for her service to the Nation and expressing condolences to her family, friends, and supporters on her death.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-resolution/52?q=%7B"search"%3A%5B"Hillary+Clinton"%5D%7D

S.Res.490 - A resolution recognizing the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for 50 years of service to the performing arts.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/senate-resolution/490?q=%7B"search"%3A%5B"Hillary+Clinton"%5D%7D

S.Res.334 - A resolution recognizing the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/107th-congress/senate-resolution/334?q=%7B"search"%3A%5B"Hillary+Clinton"%5D%7D

There are a LOT of other proposals from the Civil Rights History Project Act of 2008, to a wide variety of health and education related submissions, but I didn't include them because they did come to a floor vote.

Highlight:

Can I have a list of Hillary's Pro POC legislation? [View all] JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 OP

You won't find any. She only passed 3 bills in her Senate career. And they all named things. w4rma Feb 2016 #1

That is alright. Proposed legislation will do as well. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #2

Not true. But remember, Clinton wasn't in Congress for 25 years. George II Feb 2016 #51

8 years in the senate is a long time to have no legislation proposed... Bubzer Feb 2016 #66

True, but she did propose legislation in that time. Sorry to disappoint. George II Feb 2016 #84

Which post office are you referring to? n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #86

Your OP was about Hillary, not Bernie. George II Feb 2016 #92

Not dispointed. I believe in credit where it's due. Does she have anything outside of gun control? Bubzer Feb 2016 #96

I believe the discussion was about: George II Feb 2016 #183

Right. My question hasn't deviated from that topic. Does she have anything outside of gun control? Bubzer Feb 2016 #185

Wow. That is beyond pathetic for a former first lady, an 8 year Senator and the most famous woman JimDandy Feb 2016 #83

--- but she did write a good book. I think the title is "Village of the Damned." Hoppy Feb 2016 #118

"It Takes a Damned Village" Fumesucker Feb 2016 #172

No, it's Bomb the Damn Villages. nt valerief Feb 2016 #202

Lol, I've loved how the goalposts have changed on her OP Arazi Feb 2016 #3

Please stay on topic. This is about HILLARY. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #4

Let me kick and rec your fine post then good sir Arazi Feb 2016 #7

Brilliant! bravenak Feb 2016 #11

Reminds me of a joke my father used to tell. George II Feb 2016 #55

Mine too bravenak Feb 2016 #56

Lol 2pooped2pop Feb 2016 #12

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. George II Feb 2016 #54

Then Hillary thinks VERY highly of Bernie. Bubzer Feb 2016 #70

........... polly7 Feb 2016 #76

ROTFL Bubzer Feb 2016 #81

LOL! n/t JimDandy Feb 2016 #87

Hysterical. zentrum Feb 2016 #145

I have her on ignore, so I don't have to waste my time on nonsense. Fuddnik Feb 2016 #42

Who? Flying Squirrel Feb 2016 #80

LOL! You stole my Question! 2banon Feb 2016 #173

The goalposts are all over the place at this point.. But this is all about Clinton's commitment. eom Betty Karlson Feb 2016 #153

Well, I don't care for calling another poster out, morningfog Feb 2016 #5

I am not calling out another poster. I am crediting another poster for bringing up a good question. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #6

I appreciate your post, since I asked her this and she wouldn't answer except to tell me to JudyM Feb 2016 #28

You are very welcome. As expected, however, this OP is content-free. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #33

Maybe something will turn up. If not, just follow protocol and repost it in a couple of days. JudyM Feb 2016 #37

I think.. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #39

Aw, c'mon, let's bring all of DU down to that schoolyard level. JudyM Feb 2016 #45

This message was self-deleted by its author LanternWaste Feb 2016 #184

You mean she hasn't criticized Obama recently. Recently is the important word there. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #17

Point well taken. She was vicious in 2008. morningfog Feb 2016 #19

In 2008, it was low down. She has criticized him often since then, merrily Feb 2016 #53

Heck, she was viscious in 2014. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #186

bravenak invited the creation of this OP tk2kewl Feb 2016 #36

her? Oh yeah. Have had her on ignore for a long time now. liberal_at_heart Feb 2016 #151

i'm getting used to her tk2kewl Feb 2016 #157

Except she has criticized Obama. Especially on foreign policy. jeff47 Feb 2016 #187

Yo! bravenak Feb 2016 #8

Yo! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #10

Oh guaranteed there's no response. The OP was flamebait anyway Arazi Feb 2016 #14

That would be amazing! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #15

How? Quayblue Feb 2016 #88

I was being sincere Quayblue Feb 2016 #112

Are you talking about here or on another op? bravenak Feb 2016 #116

here Quayblue Feb 2016 #132

I'm sure this op is not quite serious bravenak Feb 2016 #136

You are quite correct. But this thread was almost begging to be made. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #138

I understand perfectly.nt bravenak Feb 2016 #142

But can you answer the question? If not I assume she must have done NOTHING /nt Dragonfli Feb 2016 #162

I'm not being told how she is the best for blacks day after day bravenak Feb 2016 #164

I am being told that day after day and and left wondering why. Those are good pieces of legislation Dragonfli Feb 2016 #166

You have it wrong bravenak Feb 2016 #171

Then you should hold Hillary to the same standard Dragonfli Feb 2016 #178

next time Quayblue Feb 2016 #148

:-) And don't get me wrong...I was completely open to hearing about any such legislation JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #150

ha! Quayblue Feb 2016 #155

oh Quayblue Feb 2016 #139

But did she end racism? leftupnorth Feb 2016 #9

NOT GOOD ENOUGH HILLARY 2pooped2pop Feb 2016 #13

No, but she's formed "relationships" and "friendships," see? SMC22307 Feb 2016 #108

She will continue expansion of the private prison system and War On Drugs gyroscope Feb 2016 #16

I heard a Republican congressman promoting prison call center jobs as a way to keep jobs in the USA virtualobserver Feb 2016 #63

Didn't you know it's okay to have your vote taken for granted by Hillary, if you're her firewall JimDandy Feb 2016 #97

Kickin'. No answers yet. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #18

She voted against the Bush Tax cuts in 2001 and voted to repeal them in 2007 brooklynite Feb 2016 #21

not specifically for POC eom noiretextatique Feb 2016 #25

Thank you, but as already observed, this does not apply. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #29

Votes don't count according to Bravenak's rules. It has to be legislation she proposed that passed. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #31

I understand from Hillary supporters... MellowDem Feb 2016 #69

The defining issue is gun violence. Hillary's record is good, Bernie's is bad. ucrdem Feb 2016 #22

Nope, not good enough! Unless it's specificly for POC, it doesn't count Arazi Feb 2016 #24

Yep. Gun violence applies to ALL people. This is about PoC. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #26

defining issues for who? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #30

For voters. It defines the candidates' position vis-a-vis POC communities. ucrdem Feb 2016 #34

Excuse me, this OP is about Hillary, not Bernie. Please try to stay on topic. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #40

The Gun Control Movement has it's origin in racism. Odin2005 Feb 2016 #52

Wrong on all counts. It's not the defnining issue and the NRA rates Bernie D- to F. merrily Feb 2016 #57

In this context, it is. And this is where the battle will be fought and won. nt ucrdem Feb 2016 #73

Hillary would like it to be the defining issue, but it is not. Sorry! merrily Feb 2016 #131

Co-sponsored legislation doesn't count. You can sign on to legislation at the last second. JimDandy Feb 2016 #106

Well, that IWR vote created a lot of jobs, albeit dead end ones. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #23

here's my list noiretextatique Feb 2016 #27

what I came up with too. Go Vols Feb 2016 #32

Obviously you know who I am on the jury. Aerows Feb 2016 #35

Lol, knew bravenak's loyal band would alert Arazi Feb 2016 #38

Once again, you are my heroine. JudyM Feb 2016 #41

Amazing! I was hoping for the swarm! They never fail! Except when they get a 0-7 :D JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #43

we are going to fucking lose if we can't respectfully counter each other Quayblue Feb 2016 #46

I didn't make the alert Aerows Feb 2016 #50

I know you didn't Quayblue Feb 2016 #60

Heck no! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #74

lol Duckhunter935 Feb 2016 #82

Well, that alerter is in the corner for 24 hrs. tragic! kath Feb 2016 #107

I got the alert Aerows Feb 2016 #119

Well Done Aerows! 2banon Feb 2016 #174

I'm getting confused (jury results) Quayblue Feb 2016 #44

It was baffling for me, too Aerows Feb 2016 #47

I primarily agree with her Quayblue Feb 2016 #65

Perhaps Hillary's supporters find discussion of issues Utopian Leftist Feb 2016 #194

I'm waiting for the day when I serve on one of my own posts. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #77

I hope you wouldn't have to Quayblue Feb 2016 #99

Must be a pain ordering pants for that. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #125

that's why I go and try them on Quayblue Feb 2016 #134

Got it. We'll get someone else to go for pizza. Spitfire of ATJ Feb 2016 #159

tikka masala please Quayblue Feb 2016 #160

If you had a problem with her OP, why didn't you address it there? George II Feb 2016 #48

OT. Besides, Jon never said he had a problem with her OP. merrily Feb 2016 #59

I had no problem with it. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #72

The poster seems to be opposed to your having fun with it on your own thread, merrily Feb 2016 #135

Every time this question was asked in hers whatchamacallit Feb 2016 #67

Bravenak said to create this OP Arazi Feb 2016 #68

Meh Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #75

It was a good faith effort at dialogue. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #78

And some prefer to mock and munch on popcorn. Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #93

Well, they already addressed the Bernie questions on the other OP. So it is time to kick back. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #95

Like I said Bobbie Jo Feb 2016 #109

Yea, I'm with you. JTFrog Feb 2016 #161

the OP WAS told to start his own thread Duckhunter935 Feb 2016 #85

Did anyone come up with any yet? fbc Feb 2016 #49

I'm still thinking. None yet. 840high Feb 2016 #71

crickets. kath Feb 2016 #111

Wow! ybbor Feb 2016 #61

why not visit her site mgmaggiemg Feb 2016 #62

Because they don't list anything that qualifies. jeff47 Feb 2016 #188

No, but I can name 3 pieces zentrum Feb 2016 #64

Thank you. JDPriestly Feb 2016 #90

This is why Hillary Clinton's term 'firewall' for POC is so disgusting: JimDandy Feb 2016 #117

Well Put. zentrum Feb 2016 #126

Absolutely. Former military here, but this was so obvious JimDandy Feb 2016 #133

Forget when she was in Senate Nanjeanne Feb 2016 #89

I think she was involved in some political groups in college. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #91

To be fair she did go to work for the Children's defense fun nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #103

While Chair of CDF she was also on Board of Walmart Nanjeanne Feb 2016 #113

I know... it gets complicated nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #115

Okay... radical noodle Feb 2016 #128

That is hardly the point nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #130

There IS no point to this radical noodle Feb 2016 #169

Who said I am ignoring them? nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #193

I like my popcorn plain nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #94

I prefer it with a dressing of alert stalking. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #102

Well that goes without saying nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #104

I was thinking about a snack right now. Fuddnik Feb 2016 #110

That's a simple question isn't it? nt thereismore Feb 2016 #98

Sure: Lucinda Feb 2016 #100

Superficial posturing with no real effect on the lives of POC..... none. Indepatriot Feb 2016 #120

There is nothing superficial about the subjects of those three resolutions Lucinda Feb 2016 #127

I never said the "subjects" of the resolutions themselves were superficial, only the resolutions. Indepatriot Feb 2016 #141

So.....Having your cultural icons honored by your government means nothing. Lucinda Feb 2016 #143

Window dressing, plain and simple. Nice, appropriate, but in no way addresses the day to day Indepatriot Feb 2016 #146

Well I disagree, as I am sure many others will. Lucinda Feb 2016 #149

I tell you what those arts organizations like Ailey need- funding. If you were to look at the Bluenorthwest Feb 2016 #192

Shirley Chisolm, Alvin Ailey 6chars Feb 2016 #140

Basically a waste of time to go through them all because they will be ignored or dismissed. JTFrog Feb 2016 #158

Um. What about the aecond part of the claim. Rilgin Feb 2016 #167

There are lots of things that passed the Senate that she proposed. Perhaps go check for yourself? Lucinda Feb 2016 #170

I actually looked on Congress.com Rilgin Feb 2016 #176

Yep. I had at one point in time, started to collect them, but there are sooo many Lucinda Feb 2016 #168

Google is your friend radical noodle Feb 2016 #101

I'm terribly sorry, but only legislation that exclusively benefits PoC answers the OP. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #105

I love it that you are using the same exact ridicolous goal post nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #114

I had a great time with this OP. It has been a fun night. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #121

You welcome, I needed the break nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #123

applause for you good sir. nt retrowire Feb 2016 #129

Interesting Loudestlib Feb 2016 #122

Not legislation..... but she did coin the popular phrase... Indepatriot Feb 2016 #124

Sadly, I'm just not seeing much in the way of good answers in this thread. How saddening. Ed Suspicious Feb 2016 #137

But of course, some of us knew what the sound of the many non-lulz, substantive posts would be. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #144

Next to nothing. lovemydog Feb 2016 #147

oh bravenak ? olddots Feb 2016 #152

You may suffer from bds. lovemydog Feb 2016 #156

Sure, here you go. Complete list is below. CBGLuthier Feb 2016 #154

- bravenak Feb 2016 #165

Of those, which were signed into law? And which had to do with people of color? merrily Feb 2016 #177

The info was there bravenak Feb 2016 #179

Don't be so shy. None of it became law, even the ceremonial stuff. merrily Feb 2016 #180

+1, but Clinton didn't spend 2231234 years in congress either... I think the amount of legislation uponit7771 Feb 2016 #181

But she's supposed to be the one who can get things done. jeff47 Feb 2016 #189

It looks like she did get things done in the short time she was there. uponit7771 Feb 2016 #190

Then why is there no legislation that satisfies the "rules" outlined by Bravenak? (nt) jeff47 Feb 2016 #191

One would think his submissions would dwarf hers. He is the hero bravenak Feb 2016 #195

Thank you. I am not too impressed either. But neither of our candidates really fit the bill for this JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #198

This is why I like Stein bravenak Feb 2016 #199

I really, really like her too. She even supports reparations ( that affects PoC right? ;-) ) JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #200

Yep. She is down with the cause. bravenak Feb 2016 #201
