In reply to the discussion: Breaking: Clintons Got Millions from Swiss Bank Sec Clinton Shielded from IRS [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)117. Here is just a short list of some of Bernie's recent Senate votes
I'm not including his strictly economic votes, of which there are plenty, but I'm including his yea votes that affect women, minorities, poor, elderly, immigrants, unemployed, and students and military. And many of the groups he helps are largely POC.
Some are yea votes and some show he was a cosponsor of this bill.
July 16, 2014 S 2578 Protect Women's Health From Corporate Interference Act of 2014. (co-sponsor).
July 9, 2014 PN 1736 Nomination of Julian Castro to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
June 11, 2014 S 2432 Bank on Students Emergency Loan Refinancing Act
March 31, 2014 HR 4302 Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014
March 13, 2014 HR 3370 Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014
March 6, 2014 S 1752 Military Justice Improvement Act of 2013
Dec. 17, 2013 S 1845 Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act (co-sponsor)
Nov. 7, 2013 S 815 Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013
June 27, 2013 S 744 Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Ac
I could have added the nay votes too, but didn't want to overwhelm you. These are all votes to help all people, often POC, just from page one of twenty seven. Most within the last two years and if you want to see all his votes, going back to forever, here is the link.

Now tell me again that Bernie's attempt to help or stand for POC is all 50 years ago.
Good grief! Do you have blinders on?
