[TCDPCO] A comparison of Obama and Clinton's Senate record.

[Elizabeth Shepard]

This was sent to me by a 25 y.o. friend of my son's who I have never  
before been able to engage in politics.  He didn't think his vote  
mattered, and until last year had never registered. He is now paying  
attention, and involved with the process, much like many other younger  
people in the US.

The link he provides below is an interesting comparison of bills for  
2007 for both the candidates.
