Democrats' moving at a dizzying pace

The Democratic Congress ran as a party of changes, to change or correct all those areas that the Republican Party was unable to, and for that they were rewarded with a victory. The areas that the Democrats were concerned with are: Sudan, Chad, Rowanda, Sierra Leone, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Darfur and the most current Myanmar, where violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators (monks) is taking its toll.

Areas of national interest that the Democrats needed to correct are: national security, the economy, the environment, education, gay rights, health care, immigration, taxation, abortion, fuel, prescription drugs for the elderly, etc. etc.

So far the Democrats passed a bill to increase the minimum wages, but they are about to make history, they want to prevent the "popcorn lung;" Democrats said that a federal standard needs to be immediately enforced to ensure future workers in the popcorn industry aren't placed in danger.

Thank God for the Democrats; our future generations are in good hands.
