Economics driving force
Republicans love to blame President Obama for the increase in gas prices, but they forget to mention that they’re ones giving Big Oil companies $7,610 a minute in tax breaks. They are the ones stopping Democrats in Congress from repealing $4 billion a year in tax breaks for oil companies who don’t need it. Republicans [...]
Women’s care not political
I stand with President Obama on his administration’s rule on contraception. I stand with the millions of women across America who use contraception.

We see Social Security as providing a safety net for the nation’s poor and elderly. We believe in protecting and strengthening Social Security for future generations. Let me say [...]
Immigrants an asset, contribute to America
As a Djiboutian immigrant, I am proud of my new home. America is a land of immigrants-a land of opportunity.
