“As we celebrate Black History Month, it is especially troubling that President Bush would release a budget that drastically cuts student aid, Medicaid, child support and funding for the disabled.”
“These harmful cuts to vital programs are out of line with the values of working Americans and the spirit of black history which emphasizes opportunity for all.”
“Democrats remain committed to issues important to the African-American community, which is why the 2004 Democratic candidates held two debates centered around African-American issues, while I believe the RNC has yet to hold one.”
“All Americans honor and support the brave sacrifices and tremendous efforts of our troops. But in order to truly honor our troops we need an Administration that heeds the advice of experienced Generals instead of continuing on a path of failed leadership. Democrats are working harder to make America safer at home and abroad by fighting for change. Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration should stop offering more of the same failed policies and do the same.”
