The Democratic Platform


Though many parts to the Democratic Platform stand out to me as very important, including education, the improvement of civil rights is a key aspect to the Democratic Party. Since 2000, the Democratic Party has: lead the fight for ERA and equal employment, passed hate crime legislation, supported affirmative action to redress discrimination, strengthened parts of the Patriot Act and modify other parts, keep marriage and gay marriage at the state level, discouraged racial and religious profiling, treated same-sex couples as equals under law, increased access to federal jobs, and enabled disability access throughout the country. I believe the Democratic Party addresses the fundamental issues of civil rights in an appropriate manner.
Question for Alex Pena: How will higher education benefit, in terms of loans and grants, if Obama were reelected?
