Congress is working to restore the economy and put Americans back to work.
Keeping America safe is our most important duty. Democrats are focused on strengthening our national security, and under President Obama’s leadership we are working to restore America’s standing in the world.
Democrats are committed to public education and have made it a strong focus of our efforts to invest in our nation's future. We recognize that America continues to lag its global competitors in education, which is why we refuse to settle for the status quo. Democrats are working to reduce high school dropout rates, prepare students for higher education and provide students with the support they need to complete their degrees and secure well-paying jobs. That is how we will ensure the brightest future for our children.
To create the next generation of clean energy jobs, make our nation more secure and reduce the pollution that causes global warming, Democrats are committed to investing in our nation’s clean energy future. By investing in renewable sources of energy and funding research on the next clean technology breakthroughs, Democrats are fighting to not only increase our national security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil, but create jobs right here in America.
Committed to long-term fiscal responsibility, Democrats pledge to work through this national Crisis.
No more donut hole for seniors, new tax breaks for small businesses to cover their employees, no more denying children with pre-existing conditions...
A new initiative from House Democrats to increase American manufacturing and create new jobs.
Democrats are steadfast advocates for America’s seniors, their peace of mind, and the issues they care about— including retirement security, the health of Medicare, and the high cost of prescription drugs. Democrats strongly support Social Security and Medicare and oppose efforts to privatize them. We’ve worked to ensure the strength and long-term solvency of those vital programs, so that they can support not just today’s seniors, but the generations to come.
Democrats are proud to stand with veterans who have endured great sacrifice to keep our nation safe and protect our freedom. Under Democratic leadership, we have kept our promise to respect and care for our servicemen and women and will continue to respond to the needs of veterans and their families.
As they pursue an education or enter the workforce in these hard economic times, young Americans are rightly wondering whether they’ll have the same opportunities to succeed as their parents’ generation. That’s why Democrats are working to help young Americans afford college educations, find well-paying jobs, and make the most of their talents.
