100 Days of Change

From the New York State Democratic Committee:

President Obama has been made major strides over the past three months. His accomplishments include:

Passing an economic recovery package that will save or create three to four million jobs here at home by investing in vital infrastructure projects, investing in new energy technologies, improving medical record keeping, preventing cuts to important state initiatives in healthcare and education, expanding unemployment assistance and giving 95 percent of Americans a tax cut.

Passing the Lilly Ledbetter fair Pay Act to ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing the same job.

Lifting the ban on federal funding for potentially life-saving stem cell research.

Passing legislation to enhance the State Children’s Health Insurance Program and expanding coverage to an additional 4 million children bringing to 11 million the number of children covered under SCHIP.

Passing a budget blueprint that invests in America's future and makes critical investments in health care, education, and clean energy.
