Democrats - A Positive Force

Democrats are still working hard to make a positive contribution to America. Meanwhile (emphasis on MEAN), Bush has pridefully vetoing SCHIP... again - and Republican Senators are filibustering everything .

The American people haven't missed the fact that Republican control of the Federal government has brought us two military conflicts that are stalemated and an economy that is on the verge of collapse.

2008 is the year to put a progressive Democrat in the Whitehouse and increase the Democratic majority in Congress. There's an awful lot of work to be done to undo the mess Republicans have made.
