We Have A Long Way To Go,

And The Banks - Hard To Believe In A Time When We're Facing A Banking Crisis That Many Of The Banks Created - Are Still The Most Powerful Lobby On Capitol Hill. And They Frankly Own The Place.

We Want To Make Certain That Every American Who Stood In Silent Tribute To Rosa Parks Hopes That The Sepreme Court Judge Will Break Silence And Speak Out Clearly For The Civil Rights That Define Our Unity As A Nation.

We See It In Attempts On Capitol Hill To Impose Gag Rules On Rules On Doctors On What They Can Say To Their Patients About Family Planning. And We Certainly See It Now With An Effort By The Government To Tap Our Phones; Invade Our Medical Records, Credit Information, Library Records And The Most Sensitive Personal Information In The Name Of National Security.

The Supreme Court Is The Last Refuge In America For Our Rights And Liberties.

If We Do Nothing, As The Republicans Suggest, We're Going To See Health Care Costs Reach A Point Where Small Businesses Can't Afford It And Families Can't Afford It. We're Going To See People Turned Down From Pre-existing Conditions. We're Going To Find The Medicare Doughnut Hole - A Gap In Coverage That's Going To Hurt A Lot Of Seniors.
