The First 42 Hours
Within the first 100 hours of congress, Democrats promised to:
1. Make the government more accountable and honest
2. Implement the recommendations of the 9/11 commission
3. Raise the minimum wage and make the economy fairer
4. Make health care affordable for all Americans (fix the Medicare prescription drug program, lower drug prices to help seniors, etc.) and to promote stem-cell research
5. Cut interest rates on student loans in half
6. Stop big-oil interests from receiving tax-payer funds
7. Fight the privatization of Social Security, and "guarantee a dignified retirement"
They accomplished all of these things within the FIRST 42 HOURS!
Every goal put forth on the agenda by Democrats, so far, has been achieved. Democrats have done more for the American people in 42 hours than Republicans did during their entire time of congress domination.
While Republicans would have been busy on an anti-gay tirade, Democrats worked to help the American people. What a difference it made! Thanks to the Democrats, the lives of millions of Americans will be much better.
Because of the Democrats, ethics laws have been passed which will stop the corruption by rich corporations, and keep lobbyists from interfering with legislation.
By implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, Democrats have made our nation much safer.
Because Democrats have raised the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour, 13 million Americans are now making more money.
Democrats have passed a bill that requires Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices, which will help senior citizens who are having trouble paying for necessary medication.
Democrats have cut interest on student loans from 6.8% to 3.4%, making college more affordable and accessible to Americans.
Thanks to the Democrats, bills have been passed that stop tax-payers from having to foot the bill for big-oil interests. Click here to read about the legislation (which has been passed).
Republicans have never done that much for American people. The only people they have done anything for are their rich buddies.
