by Chuck Schumer
On This Page
Description
New York's popular senior senator offers a bold plan for change in the Democratic Party. The results of the 2004 election made it clear that while Democrats call themselves the party of the middle, the middle class does not consider the Democrats their party. Now, Chuck Schumer offers his plan for capturing the middle-class vote and moving his party back into the majority. Democrats can accomplish this, the senator explains, without abandoning their traditional principles. Schumer envisions show more a hypothetical, average middle-class American family, "the Baileys," who spend "as much time talking about the cost of cornflakes as the cost of the national debt." He then details specific proposals he believes would keep America safe, secure, and on top; and support the aspirations of a prosperous and growing middle class while speaking to anxieties created in a world changed by technology and globalization.--From publisher description. show lessTags
