Congressman Al Green Joins Democratic Colleagues to Advocate for Policies in Best Interest of ALL Americans

(Washington, DC)--Congressman Al Green gathered with House and Senate Democrats and representatives from groups working on key issues to highlight the solutions Democrats have offered to help make America stronger and to address the concerns of all Americans.

"The American people are losing faith in their government.  From Hurricane Katrina to a reverse Robin Hood budget that robs the poor and rewards the rich, there are real ways in which this Republican Congress is failing to serve all Americans.  I am committed to working for a better America, one in which all Americans receive the services and benefits they deserve," Congressman Al Green said.

At today's rally, Democrats joined together to promote their solutions for Americans ranging from improving health care to expanding small businesses to protecting social security for seniors.  Strengthening homeland security was mentioned, as Democrats cited the failing grades issued by the bipartisan 9/11 Commission in its recent assessment of the Administration's response to their recommendations.  Unfortunately, measures offered by Democrats to enact the Commissions recommendations have been rejected leaving much of America still vulnerable.

"This is about the safety of our families and the future of our children.  As we move into the holiday season and the new year, I trust that my colleagues and I can work together towards the common goal of improving the lives of all Americans," Congressman Al Green said.
