There is only one major political party in America that stands up for the working/middle/poor, that being the Democratic Party. In the coming US House and Senate elections of 2014 a decent chance is available for the Democrats to regain control of the House and keep their majority in the Senate. If this happens, along with a Democratic President we can see the restoration of voting rights, infrastructure repair, tweaks to our new health care law that makes it even more appealing, a bill to eliminate the disastrous effects of the Citizens United law in order to bring about public financing of elections, a minimum wage increase, expansion on the earnings cap for social security and many more progressive ideals. Even business would benefit in that laws could be passed to eliminate tax breaks for off shoring and instead give tax breaks for keeping jobs here in America. We could finally restructure our outdated tax laws that reflect the best incentives for all who need a fair opportunity to succeed and pass an immigration reform law that reflects our values as not only principled in our vision but fair in it's application. There is so much that can be done and if I left out anything progressive we can get to that as well. Our time is coming for our country to heal itself of divisive policies that pit the wealthy against ordinary earners. We are a stronger country when all of our citizens have a say in how our democracy works and with enough Democratic votes this November 2014 we will begin to shine like our forefathers foresaw when they established our new country and as President Abraham Lincoln said; "Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth."
