DEMS vs. GOP

Just a few accomplishments of the Democratic
House Majority:

worst abuses by insurance companies including
discrimination against people with pre-existing
medical conditions. [OPPOSED BY 100 % OF

ACT to make the largest investment in college aid
in American history. [OPPOSED BY 100 % OF

unfair pay and help close the wage gap where
women earn 78 cents for every $1 that a man earns
in America. [OPPOSED BY A MAJORITY OF HOUSE
REPUBLICANS]

WALL STREET REFORM to rein in reckless practices
on Wall Street, end taxpayer-funded bail-outs and
"too big to fail" institutions, and protect and
empower consumers. [OPPOSED BY A MAJORITY

Just one year of a failed Republican House Majority:

nearly 2.5 million American jobs and voted against at least 17 times

McCain economic advisor Mark Zandi said would create 1.9 million
jobs

raise health care costs by $6,000.

EXTREME AGENDA TO APPEASE TEA PARTY

of a shutdown to put their radical agenda ahead of the
American people’s interests.

and Sesame Street; Voted to classify pizza as a vegetable for school
children; Voted to defund Planned Parenthood and stop them from
o ering cancer screenings; Voted to protect companies that do

guarantee and creating jobs


OUR PLAN TO WIN BACK THE MAJORITY: DRIVE TO 25

that fails to create jobs, Democrats have an agenda
to be successful and a clear-eyed plan to win the
Majority. It’s our “Drive to 25.”

          Majority
