Bernie Sanders was the roll call amendment king from 1995 to 2007

I guess he got tired after all that because this is what he's done since 2007

Roll call amendments which passed:
2015-2016 S.Amdt.386 - To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to protect Medicaid beneficiaries from benefit cuts.
2009-2010 S.AMDT.3738 - To require the non-partisan Government Accountability Office to conduct an independent audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System that does not interfere with monetary policy, to let the American people know the names of the recipients of over $2,000,000,000,000 in taxpayer assistance from the Federal Reserve System, and for other purposes.

Bills enacted into law S. 885 (113th): A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 35 Park Street in Danville, Vermont, as the “Thaddeus Stevens Post Office”.
S. 2782 (113th): A bill to amend title 36, United States Code, to improve the Federal charter for the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, and for other ...
S. 893 (113th): Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013

that makes sense.

What I like about Amy is that she tries to make things better every day
She's got bills enacted related to sexual harrassment, protection of seniors, help for adoptees, human trafficking, veterans health, womens entrepreneurship, restoring the habitat of the great lakes, breast health, drug disposal, as well as items of local interest in her own state. She's also been working on renewable energy law since 2008...trying to get the US to follow her states leadership.

There are no perfect candidates...but she's working hard for the people every day.

I absolutely adore Liz and only recently switched to Amy. I couldn't see Liz breaking free from Bernie's shadow and Berniebots were already deriding liz and her supporters. I'm a Super Tuesday state...will hold my vote until Monday...and then decide where the vote will do the most good. I'm working a polling district on Tuesday..so I have to be done on Monday, lol.

Votes Missed by Bernard Sanders (I-Vt.)
Sen. Sanders has missed 60.5% of votes in the 116th Congress (2019-20). This makes him the 1st most absent member of the Senate.
