Democrats lay out clear, common-sense agenda

I received a letter from the Democratic National Committee today that clearly outlined the Democratic plan in the following points:

Here's what readers of the Washington Post woke up to on a recent Sunday morning:

Confident Democrats Lay Out Agenda

Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative blitz during their first week in power that would raise the minimum wage, roll back parts of the Republican prescription drug law, implement homeland security measures and reinstate lapsed budget deficit controls.

The buzz is finally building in the press about what nearly 70% of Americans know, according to recent polls: enough is enough, and it's time for real change.

...People are responding to our simple, common-sense agenda:

1. Honest Leadership & Open Government -- We will end the Republican culture of corruption and restore a government as good as the people it serves.
2. Real Security -- We will protect Americans at home and lead the world by telling the truth to our troops, our citizens and our allies.
3. Energy Independence -- We will create a cleaner and stronger America by reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
4. Economic Prosperity & Educational Excellence -- We will create jobs that will stay in America by restoring opportunity and driving innovation.
5. A Healthcare System that Works for Everyone -- We will join 36 other industrialized nations by making sure everyone has access to affordable health care.
6. Retirement Security -- We will ensure that a retirement with dignity is the right and expectation of every single American.

So never let it be said that the Democrats do not have a plan. They have common sense, straightforward plan. And it is one that Arizona, and our country at large, is in desperate need of, right now.
