Please join us in calling on Montana ‘s Congressional Delegation to lead the fight in Congress to build a high wage, high skill economy where we can foster a strong middle class and where America thrives.
To start:
*Create jobs, including new green jobs directly until the economy has recovered.
*Strengthen Health Care reform, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – don’t weaken them.
*Help our cities and states, not cut off their federal money.
*Close tax loopholes that allow the rich and corporations to pay little if any taxes.
*Work for a fairer, progressive tax system
*Reform Wall Street to allow Main Street to create more JOBS!

We, the American people, promise to defend and advance a simple ideal: liberty and justice . . . for all. Americans who are willing to work hard and play by the rules should be able to find a decent job, get a good home in a strong community, retire with dignity, and give their kids a better life. Every one of us – rich, poor, or in-between, regardless of skin color or birthplace, no matter their sexual orientation or gender – has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That is our covenant, our compact, our contract with one another. It is a promise we can fulfill – but only by working together.
Today, the American Dream is under threat. Our veterans are coming home to few jobs and little hope on the home front. Our young people are graduating off a cliff, burdened by heavy debt, into the worst job market in half a century. The big banks that American taxpayers bailed out won’t cut homeowners a break. Our firefighters, nurses, cops, and teachers – America ’s everyday heroes – are being thrown out onto the street.
