Joe Biden, Passes the Torch
Joe Biden, Passes the Torch
By Cate Rees-Hessel with Wes Hessel
Editor: As we adjust to a new political landscape I think we should spend a few minutes and a few words reflecting on Joe Biden, the most influential president of the last century. Here’s a list of what Joe’s done for this country. I and many historians believe his incredible legislative record will stand the test of time. So, here me go, a long list of what Joe has done over the last 3 and 1/2 years for the American people. This list of course does not include his accomplishments as a Senator or Vice President, those accomplishments will be addressed on another day. Kamala Harris will bring a younger face to Biden’s policies but she supports most of them and will push for more legislation to help working and middle class families. VOTE BLUE.
- Joe brought us the much needed infrastructure bill.
- Joe was Vice President to our first black president, Barack Obama.
- Joe brought us our first female and multi-racial VP, Kamala Harris.
- Joe wrote and continues to champion the Violence Against Women Act.
- Joe has worked tirelessly to preserve Social Security for seniors and Medicaid for impoverished and disabled folks.
- Joe has fought his entire career for women’s rights, equality, and reproductive freedom.
- Joe won the largest plurality in history with his 2020 victory over Donald Trump.
- Joe guided our country back from the pandemic with the least economic damage of any nation in the world.
- Joe despite interference from the Supreme Court is working to eliminate student debt.
- Joe is standing up for renters rights, advocating for a cap on rent increases, and other needed national standards.

- Joe has worked ceaselessly to expand healthcare to all Americans, today providing healthcare for more Americans than at any other time in our history.
- Joe has been pushing for legislation to force billionaires pay their fair share.
- Joe and his beautiful wife, Dr. Jill Biden brought class and elegance back to the White House.
- Joe’s passion to address climate change, has brought money and attention to the problem including the US rejoining The Paris (climate) Accord.
- Joe has brought new respect to our service members. While Trump, the convicted felon, called our service members “losers” and “suckers.” Joe has worked hard to secure benefits for our veterans one such being the passage of the PACT Act.
- Joe Biden has stood with the LGBTQ community defending and expanding their protections.
- Joe never once held a Bible upside and then tried to sell “The Bible” for $60 bucks apiece. I think you can pick one up free just about anywhere.

- Joe’s humor does not include insulting others.
- Joe is respected by world leaders, except for Putin, Kim Jung Un and their ilk
- Joe cares about the war in the Ukraine – he is not Putin’s puppet- he has rallied NATO members to send money and weapons to the Ukraine to repel Russia’s invasion.
- Joe is working every day to end the fighting in Gaza, standing up to Hamas, and helping to end anti-Semitism in the United States.
- Joe is not a 34 count convicted felon, nor is he under indictment for any crimes.
- Joe stopped his busy work to empower little boy who stutters; an affliction that has plagued Joe since childhood, to stand tall and be proud and keep talking, you could become president one day.
- Joe respects people and is kind and considerate, not brash and rude like the other candidate.
- Joe is truly pro union and proved it by being the only president in history to walk the picket line last year with striking UAW workers.
- Joe against all predictions brought unemployment to a record low, creating 15 million plus good jobs.
- Joe Biden has made creating “good-paying jobs,” including bringing work from overseas back to America, a central theme of his economic agenda at home.
- Joe has been pointing out Trump’s horrifying and insane Project 2025 plan. If you plan on voting you better read it; scary stuff.
