AMAZING GRACE
I am not a pious man. I go to church to support my wife and set a good example for my children. But sometimes, just sometimes, I think I see God's hand in my life.
My wife and I are going through an amazingly difficult time in our lives. We truely have been challenged and have had to do things that we never thought we would. The end is not in sight and the chance of things working out O.K. for us look slim on the best days. However, at the end of each day, we still want to be together. We still lover each. There is no blame, no condesension, no bitter under current.
To me this is a gift of God. I may loose everything but I will have the love of my life and my amazing children with me no matter what. Because that is what I can handle.
That's the hand of God.

Here are the 20 bills that Senator Clinton sponsored in the U.S. Senate in SIX year of labor doing the peoples work. Not too impressive if you want to be President:

2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.

18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.

Only the last five seem to be anything more than ceremonial. Let's hope if she gets elected that she has the same success!
