Weekly Address All-Hands-On-Deck Response to the Drought
Elizabeth Warren: Still
Why do women have to fight the same old battles? Women still don't get equal pay for equal work - Republicans blocked that, and even pushed a law that could have denied insurance coverage for birth control. We're still fighting to protect a woman's right to choose nearly 40 years after Roe v. Wade, and we could be just one Supreme Court justice away from losing it.
Keeping His Word: Supporting Teachers
Four years ago Barack Obama promised to stand with teachers.
President Obama: "I won't just talk about how great teachers are I will reward them for their greatness. We're going to pay our teachers more money. We're going to give them more support."
America Doesn't Need a Birther-in-Chief
Holding out hope Romney had a vision for the middle class? Think again.
Mitt Romney: "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised."
Embracing unfounded conspiracy theories, distracting from real issues.
America doesn't need a Birther-in-Chief.
Republican Women for Obama
Republican women share their history with the Republican Party and how the party's views are no longer aligned with their own. They don't support Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and share how Romney and Ryan are wrong for women.
As they share: "If you truly believe in a small government. That government shouldn't be deciding what I can and cannot do with my own body."

They Drove Our Economy into a Ditch
"So basically here's what this election comes down to. They're betting that between now and November we're going to come down with amnesia. They figure you're going to forget what there agenda did to this country. They think you'll just believe that they've changed. These are the folks whose policies help devastate our middle class they drove our economy into a ditch.
And we got in there and put on our boots. And we pushed and we shoved and we were sweating. These guys were standing, watching us, sipping on a Slurpee. And they were pointing at us saying 'how come you're not pushing harder? how com you're not pushing faster?' And then when we finally got the car up--and it's got a few dings and a few dents. It's got some mud on it. We're going to have to do some work on it. They point out to everybody else and say: 'Look what these guys did to your car!'
After we got it out of the ditch, and then they got the nerve to ask for the keys back. I don't want to give them the keys back. They don't know how to drive."
Faces of Change: From Dinner Tables to Diplomas
