2. Donate matching it to Anita Hill. She is maxing Dem message on the

the human rights of women.

I believe Biden will eventually get up to speed and I hope to see him do a video on fast tracking equality for women. He can do it.

3. Move on

Joe Biden was VP for 8 years, where was Anita Hill then?

[delisen]

Is that "Move on, nothing to see here??? chuckle

6. lol fail !

7. He authored the Violence Against Women Act.

The Biden Foundation, a very robust Foundation, focused on it as it’s core issue.

What are you talking about?

[delisen]

8. Biden foundation not robust; just died, no violence grants

ver bad optics on the foundation

Foundation mainly just paid salaries

From NY Times:
Rather than financing international humanitarian projects and high-profile events like the meetings of the Clinton Global Initiative, much of the Biden Foundation’s funding has gone toward staff salaries. Its only grant in 2017 totaled about half a million dollars, which was used to spin off the Biden Cancer Initiative as a separate project.


A New York Times review found earlier this year that Mr. Biden’s various entities had no fewer than 49 staff or board members who had worked for Mr. Biden, for former President Barack Obama’s administration, or for one of the Obama or Biden presidential campaigns.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, the Biden Foundation announced it would suspend operations, effective immediately, including activities related to fundraising, staffing, policy, and partnership collaboration across its policy pillars. In the coming days, the foundation’s board will carefully evaluate options and plan a pathway forward. In the interim, staff will begin work to wind down all the foundation’s legal, fiscal, and programmatic activities.

“The Vice President and Dr. Biden are the heart and soul of the foundation and now will be devoting all their time and effort to the presidential campaign,” said Ted Kaufman, chair of the Biden Foundation board. “We are immediately suspending foundation activities. In the coming days, the board will put together a plan for an orderly wind-down of all of the foundation’s work.”

did you know this when you posted?

9. I recently posted that they are closing it when he announces.

I believe that post of mine was yesterday.

Excellent foundation that did really good work.

You completely deflected.

I have posted numerous times about the Foundations good works.

Violence Against Women’s Act?

You seem to have missed that.

12. Do you have a response to the NY times report on the foundation?

The issue is how much money did the foundation spend on violence against women, and on any of its other initiatives. Where did the money come from and how and to whom has it been disbursed.

The NY Times article indicates that its main expenditures in 2017 were for salaries and costs related to spinning off the cancer initiative.

Has Biden's foundation filed a report for 2018?

I am well aware of the Violence against Women Act, having been involved in the service of sheltering of abused women. I know some of the women involved in advocacy groups which helped write the legislation. Rep. Louise Slaughter of NY was also involved in writing the legislation.

You can send whatever links you wish-the the main issue is how much money did the foundation spend on each cause, on what projects was it spent, why is it closing, how many of the staff and board members politically affiliated with Joseph Biden. Has the foundation filed a return yet for 2018?

I haven't deflected anything. This is a field in which I have direct experience.

“ believe Biden will eventually get up to speed and I hope to see him do a video on fast tracking equality for women. He can do it.”

I’m glad you recognize what an accomplishment the Violence Against Women’s Act was and Biden’s Herculean effort to get it across the line. You and I both know it will be a top priority of his to get it strengthened even further. History tells us it’s his passion. I also appreciate you highlighting how outstanding the Clinton Foundation is. They are such amazing and wonderful people.

We both know ending violence against women has been a top priority of Biden. You highlight a half million dollar grant, I highlighted a portion of their efforts for the LGBQT community, and more.

I don’t for a second believe you don’t know how passionate he has been in this area for a very long time. Advocacy group after advocacy group appreciates his efforts. It’s not a secret. It’s never been a gimmick.

15. Oh good grief

What else do you know about Biden’s history with women’s issues while in the senate, beyond Hill?

Answer: Not a thing would be my guess.

Btw, Clarence Thomas was her abuser. Don’t forget to save a little contempt for him.

18. You guess wrong!

[Eko]

4. Just donated.

[Lisa0825]

10. I donated through his website link this morning, but then saw this,,,

so I donated again

[delisen]

19. That's great. You weren't maxing your most at first.

I encourage everyone to invest in their chosen standard bearer.
but admittedly do not like corporate strong-arming of employees to contribute to the big execs chosen candidates.

(friend in healthcare and pharmaceuticals worry they won't be regard as team players if they don't contribute against their own self-interest. Creates lots of worker stress.
