- Setting a Higher Standard for Integrity in Government
-
Ours is the only campaign that's posting every campaign contribution on its website in "real time," and that's given voters a certified statement of my net worth. It's what I call "setting a higher standard" for integrity in government, part of an extensive agenda of reforms to restore the people's faith in Congress.
- Removing Restrictions on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
-
Political campaigns should be about hope for our future, not fear and divisiveness. I believe embryonic stem cell research holds enormous promise for unlocking the secrets of diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and upwards of 70 other diseases -- yet federal funding is restricted because of politics. Let's remove the restrictions, and bring on the hope.
- Ending the Legacy of Debt to Our Children by Controlling Spending
-
Today, the United States is a "Debtor Nation," running up $3 billion in debt every business day, mostly to foreign countries. It's no legacy to pass on to our children, and we must gain control of it.
