Tasini response to Clinton cluster-bomb vote, plus Ward Sutton TOON


http://www.tasinifornewyork.org/2006/09/06/press_release_tasini_criticizes_clinton_vote_on_cluster_bomb

NEW YORK, NY: Jonathan Tasini, Democratic Senate candidate in New York, released the following statement on the Senate vote on an amendment by Senators Patrick Leahy and Diane Feinstein limiting the use of cluster bombs. Hillary Clinton voted against the amendment.

"After the loss of more than 1,000 Israeli and Lebanese lives, Lebanese children and their families are returning to their devastated homes only to face the threat of additional maiming or death because of the widespread use of cluster bombs. I applaud the attempt by Sens. Leahy and Feinstein who acted as caring legislators in their attempt to stop future brutalization of innocent civilians. Apparently, the specter of children suffering did not move Hillary Clinton, who refused to vote to restrict the use of cluster bombs by barring their use in civilian areas. To New York voters, it is not clear what level of violence my opponent would oppose: she voted for an illegal and immoral war in Iraq that killed tens of thousands of people and now she is standing in the way of an attempt to protect innocent civilians."

Go Tasini! :patriot:

1. After, reading your post I raced over to Act Blue
and contributed to Tasini, so far over there he's collected $126,000. I know that it is
David vs Goliath, but this is a good one to root for the underdog.

Thanks for posting this

Miss Waverly
