http://www.democrats.org/a/2006/06/a_checklist_for.phpToday the Women Democratic Senators unveiled their 'Checklist for Change' agenda. Tonight all nine women Democratic Senators will be featured on CNN's Larry King Live, which will air at 9 ET.
At today's launch at the historic Sewall-Belmont House Senator Milkulski described their motivation for their list:
Day after day, this Republican Congress is failing America. We've been in session for 76 days and Republicans have squandered time, opportunity and taxpayers' money. We challenge Senate Majority Leader Frist to bring real issues to the floor instead of detouring the Senate with bills that focus on re-electing Republicans. We need to get Senate back on track. There are only 33 legislative days left in session to shift the focus to get something done.
The Checklist for Change includes:
* Safeguard America's Pensions
* Keep Good Jobs in America
* Make College Affordable for All
* Protect America and Our Military Families
* Prepare for Future Disasters
* Make America Energy Independent
* Make Small Business Health Care Affordable
* Invest in Life-Saving Science
* Protect Our Air, Land and Water
