from a dccc email:
Dear Gopherbob,
Today, I can proudly announce that House Democrats have delivered on the people's call for a new direction and passed their entire 100 Hours Agenda. The agenda is built on common sense legislation that helps to return money to the pockets of the American people and invests in our future and our children's future.
With the passing of the 100 Hours Agenda, Democrats delivered on the promises we made on the campaign trail.
We campaigned to strengthen our nation's security by passing the common sense and bipartisan recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. In the first working days of the Congress, House Democrats passed legislation to ensure that dozens of changes were set in motion to make the 9-11 Commission's recommendations a reality. Promise delivered.
We campaigned to put money back into your pockets by cutting the interest rates on student loans, raising the minimum wage for hard-working Americans, and negotiating for better prescription drug costs for Medicare. We passed three comprehensive bills with bipartisan support to do just that and to ensure that for hard-working Americans a day's work will never again barely cover a tank of gas or a child's check-up at the doctor. Promise delivered.
We campaigned to answer America's call for hope in promoting stem cell research and to bring hope to millions battling juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries. Last Thursday, House Democrats answered the people's call once again by passing legislation in favor of expanding research. We continue to hope that President Bush will heed to the will of the people and not veto this bill. But, no matter what, we will never stop fighting. Promise delivered.
We campaigned on a promise to return the People's House to the people and end the culture of corruption in Washington. On Thursday, we completed the last of 100 Hours Agenda by rolling back subsidies for energy companies and investing in renewable energy resources. We took America back from the special interests and instead passed strict new rules to ensure honest leadership, clamping down on earmarks, lobbyists' behaviors and runaway deficits. Promise delivered.
Change is possible now because we have a Democratic Majority that is working for the people. We have taken America back from the special interests and returned it to the people.
While the President may have another two years in power, House Democrats will continue to fight to give you, the American people, a voice and to stop his misguided agenda. Our pledge to you is this -- we will never forget the importance of our promises to you and never stop working to deliver on them. No promise will be forgotten.
I hope that, in the next two years, I can count on you to continue to stand with me and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), as we begin our work for the 2008 elections to strengthen and protect our Democratic Majority. We could not have made change without you. Thank you for all you have done.
Sincerely,
Steny H. Hoyer
House Majority Leader
