Jobs:
The key to economic recovery is the creation of more jobs. We believe that it is absolutely essential
to get everyone willing and able to work some type of employment. We are strong advocates of training
people to get the skills necessary to function in the 21st Century. We currently post an extensive
list of employment opportunities on our website
to help get the word out about the latest and greatest jobs offered.
If we help can get people working, we feel it will go a long way towards ending this recessing.
Housing:
We believe it is critical that everyone be able to obtain affordable housing. The economic
losses suffered by most homeowners are absolutely staggering. We believe the banks should give homeowners
who have lost equity in their homes some type of principal reduction to reflect the reduced value of
their homes. We, as taxpayers, have helped to bail out the banks and now it is time for the banks to
help bail us out.
Education:
We are strong believers in education. We want to make sure the State of California does
everything possible to save our State’s education system. If we don’t invest in our children’s future
now, we will have to pay later. There is no way California, and for that matter, the US as a whole, can
maintain our status as an industrial and technological leader if we don’t have a well-educated workforce.
For us to maintain our competitive edge world-wide, we need to continue to provide a quality education to
our young, and keep American workers’ skills up-to-date. We will do everything we can to endorse and
pursue any legislation that will help keep our education system strong and reverse the recent downsizing
and layoffs of our teachers. We believe education should continue to be free and we pledge to continue
to oppose the recent university fee increases that are putting a quality education out of reach of many lower
and middle income students.
