Position Papers
Strengthen Social Security and Medicare
Social Security and Medicare work well. Major changes to both programs is unnecessary. However there are changes that can improve both.
Bring Jobs back to America
Unfair trade policies have wrecked our manufacturing base. Congress did this by passing unfair trade policies and Congress can fix it.
Support Worker Rights
America prospers when all workers have the opportunity to share in the wealth they help create. A strong organized labor movement is the best way to ensure that workers receive their fair share for their hard work.
