Happy New Year!
As I reflected on the year 2009, I could not help but share with you an email I received, courtesy of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) which highlighted many of the gains made on the federal level over the past year and they are as follows:
January 20: The historic Inauguration of President Barack Obama
January 29: President Obama signs the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.
January 30: President Obama signs four executive orders to help working families, including the creation of the Middle Class Working Families Task Force.
February 4: President Obama signs SCHIP, ensuring that over 11 million lower income children, many of whose parents have lost their employer-provided health care coverage through layoffs and cutbacks, will be able to receive doctor check-ups, dentist visits, and preventive care.
February 17: President Obama signs the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, including approximately $400 billion in various forms of aid to state and local government programs.
February 24: Hilda Solis, daughter of two immigrant workers and union members who met in a citizenship class, becomes Secretary of Labor.
August 6: Sonia Sotomayor becomes the first Latina justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. .
December 24: The Senate passes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, putting America one step closer to meaningful healthcare reform.
In 2010, I wish all of you the very best and I'm sure you will agree that on the federal level, in addition to addressing national security, the economic crisis, unemployment, urban affairs and immigration reform...let's support 47 million Americans and the need for a public option and meaningful HEALTHCARE REFORM. This of course should be our primary New Year's Resolution!

The best is yet to come! |
