Middle-class America is shrinking.

Opportunities for the middle class have been disappearing for the last 15 years. Too many opportunities are given to the top few in our society--the very rich. Each person should be able to rise to their potential, whatever that potential is. This is the backbone of America. However, this has not been the case in the last 15-20 years.

Over the last several years the US Supreme Court has made several unfortunate rulings limiting the definition of disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Congress needs to overturn these decisions by passing the ADA Restoration Act to restore the original intent of the law as passed by Congress. 

We must roll back the Bush tax cuts.

Congress should enact legislation to lower the rate of home foreclosures in the U.S.

The GI Bill

I strongly support this legislation to provide quality education to veterans who have made a real commitment to our country by sacrificing their time and energy to serve our nation.  It is our duty to provide these brave men and women with the best educational opportunities this country has to offer so that they can achieve the American Dream.  This also strengthens our country and makes it a better place than it was before.

We must restore the American dream. 

We must restore the great American Middle Class.
