After our country was attacked on September 11th, 2001 you fought for the first responder's.
You fought tooth and nail to get these heroes funding and healthcare. In reality, nobody should have fought for basic health rights for the first responder's, it should have been given automatically.
You also fought for additional legislation since the air quality wasn't safe due to asbestos and all types of unbreathable materials after the tragedy. Again, this situation should have been obvious.
You are appreciated much more than you know. Thank you, Hillary Clinton for making a difference.
*In remembrance of all the brave victims of this tragedy. We will never forget*

Hillary Clinton Has Always Stood with the 9/11 First Responders and Their Families

It's a crying shame how the republicans didn't give a shite about them or anybody. Only themselves.. Monsters
And, there are those who tried to Smear Hillary for their own agenda.. Assholes.
Mahalo, Niagara, for acknowledging this important legislation for 1st Responders that Hillary fought so hard for.

I wanted to give Hillary a shout out for her compassion on this tragic anniversary.
It is a crying shame, no doubt about that.
Thank you, Friend

(561 posts)While Rudy Ghouliani and Christine Todd Whitman, were running around telling us how 'safe" the air was, the toxins in the air could be smelled for months. Hillary got on it right away, she also tried for so many years to get healthcare for those 1st responders, it was a constant fight with republicans who politicized 9/11, but never gave a damn about those who risked their lives to help others that day. She also had to fight for funds promised for cleanup. None of this should have happened. I guess it's one of the reasons, I really started to hate republicans, and the way they treated others, it really opened my eyes.
So thank you for this thread, and thank you to Hillary for all she did, she never got the credit due her. I lost a good friend on 9/11, so for sure I will never forget, nor will I forget the actions Hillary took to help the people and the city I love. RIP to all the souls lost that day.

(561 posts)It really comes from the heart, she was always there for us. Looking at Trump...what a joke, he bragged on 9/11 how his building was now the tallest in the city..... people were frantic searching for loved ones, and he was talking about his building. People are still getting sick and dying from the effects on 9/11. Not one word about that from him. Hillary always made health care, her priority.
He never participated in rescue ops...ever! It was until the presidential campaign in 2016, that Trump finally showed up at his first 9/11 memorial ceremony.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in my heart, I don't think Hillary actually lost that election, something is amiss there. Trump lost the popular vote and his own home state. How I wish we could turn back time, we can't, so here's hoping we pick up a lot of seats in November.
Take care!

(58,785 posts)a leading cause of terrorism already and more so in the future. Whole regions and their peoples are increasingly devastated, life increasingly unsustainable, millions losing everything, and the emissions from advanced nations are overwhelmingly to blame. Consequences are piling upon consequences.
I mention this in this thread because of Hillary's 9 tweets spreading the alarm about Kavanaugh and his record regarding the EPA alone.

"She really went out of her way to speak to the first responders on the site to reassure them, he said. I never forgot it.
Allies was also struck by how Clinton quickly grasped the potential health risks of Ground Zero, and how doggedly she pursued treatment for those who suffered.
We all knew from the get-go that the air was contaminated, he said, but we had a job to do so we kept on working. Senator Clinton was at the forefront over dealing with it, she showed herself to be a fighter.

*And yet Rudy Giuliani claimed she was never there until this was pointed out to him!

I remember when Giuliani tried to pull this garbage. He's just as deranged as Trump.
