3. I have been a big Hillary Rodham Clinton fan for a long time. She cares about ordinary people.

She is that rare person who cares for all people and is able to make things happen for ordinary people. It is shocking how many people attack her for no other reason than they refuse to believe she cares.

The work she did exposing the disgusting treatment of the Ground Zero Workers is historic and should have made national news every day for months. The national media ignored the hearings and the exposures at the time. To fail to give those workers protective gear was criminal and resulting in many preventable deaths and chronic illnesses.

At the time I was screaming at the TV that emergency showers needed to be set up for everyone coming out of that cloud from the falling buildings. Fire hydrants needed to opened and bottles of soap needed to be handed out for people to wash off the toxins as they walked out of the area. It would not have been difficult. Many peoples' lives could have been saved from premature death and chronic illnesses, if they had just showered off the coating of toxic dusts as soon as possible. The failure to provide respirators and disposable clothes for the Ground Zero workers was a deliberate and criminal act for which Guiliani, Bush and Whitman should have been sent to jail. They exposed those people to literally tons of toxic chemicals just so they could minimize the risk from the collapse of the buildings to save money and to prevent any devaluation of property in the area.

Thank you for posting the link to that story.
