2) These men are refusing to raise taxes on the rich so you and your children can have a better life.

Do you have kids? This bill would send $300 to you every month AND help you pay for child care.

3) It would also make preschool and two years of community college tuition free!

Are you or your parents or grandparents on Medicare? This bill would expand Medicare so it would cover eyeglasses, dentures and hearing aids-none of which are currently paid for by Medicare.
