We Have To Transform Our

As A Nation, There Are Many Issues We Don`t Talk About, We Just Don`t Talk About, Push Them Under The Rug. Poverty Is One Of Those Issues.

The American People Want To Raise The Minimum Wage. Every Poll Tells Us That. That Bill Will Not Get To The Floor Of The Senate. The American People Want To Ask The Rich To Pay More In Taxes. But The Legislation That Will Get To The Floor Is Tax Breaks For Billionaires.

We Need To Take A Hard Look At The War On Drugs And The Number Of Non-violent Offenders Who End Up Getting Their Lives Destroyed By Going To Prison. We Need To Look At Mandatory Minimum Sentencing And Give Judges More Flexibility When There Are Issues Of Drug Abuse Or Addiction.

We Are Not Going Back. We Are Not Returning To The Days Of Back-room Abortions, When Countless Women Died Or Were Maimed. The Decision About Abortion Must Remain A Decision For The Woman, Her Family And A Physician To Make, Not The Government.

When People Get Out Of Jail, It Is Not Easy For Them To Find A Job. It Is Not Easy For Them To Return To Civil Society.
