8. Kirsten did so much to get the The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act passed

for our 9/11 first responders. The 1st bill was written by Hillary Clinton, while Rudy Ghouliani and Christie Todd Whitman were claiming the air was "safe" after 9/11, it was obvious to everyone else, that it wasn't. When Kirsten took Hillary's place as senator from NY, she continued the fight. The bill got very little attention around the country, until she went on Jon Stewart's show, and he worked with her, even going to DC with her in an effort to embarrass republicans into doing what was right.

Would love to see her run for president, she has been such a good senator for us in NY.
