*Steps we ask state and federal gov't to take:*

*Make Wall Street and the super-rich pay their fair share.
*...(more <javascript:void(0)>)Reduce spending responsibly by cutting the
real fat - like corporate welfare for military contractors, big agriculture
and big oil.
*Protect the heart and soul of America - our teachers, nurses and first
responders.
*Guarantee the health, safety and success of our children and communities by
leaving the muscle and bone of America's communities intact.
*Maintain the American Way by treating employees with dignity and respecting
their right to a seat at the bargaining table.
*Rebuild the middle class - and pathways into it - by fighting for a "made
in America" innovation and manufacturing agenda, including trade and
currency policies that honor American workers and entrepreneurs.
*Stand for the idea that, in a crisis, Americans turn TO each other - and
not ON each other.
