A thread for the #left

If we choose to change, just imagine what we can do. What makes America great has never been its perfection, but the belief that it can be made better. And that people who love this country can change it.

In hearings around the country, Americans reaffirmed our belief that this great nation can compete–and succeed–in the 21st Century but only if we take a new approach. One that is both innovative and faithful to the basic economic principles that made this country great.

We believe that it is essential to take immediate steps to stem the loss of manufacturing jobs. Taking these immediate measures will provide good jobs and will help the economy today. #FJB

We will provide an immediate energy rebate to American families struggling with the record price of gasoline and the skyrocketing cost of other necessities – to spend on those basic needs and energy efficient measures.

Just as America cannot afford to continue to run up huge deficits, so too can we not afford to short-change investments. The key is to make the tough choices, in particular enforcing pay-as-you-go budgeting rules. #paygo

Research should be based on #science, not ideology.

We will pursue a tough, smart, and principled national security strategy.

To renew American leadership in the world, we must revitalize our #military. A strong military is, more than anything, necessary to sustain peace.

Afghanistan must not be lost to a future of narco-terrorism–or become again a haven for #terrorists.

We recognize that the right to bear arms is an important part of the American tradition, and we will preserve Americans' Second Amendment right to own and use firearms. #2a

We cannot continue to allow people to enter the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. The American people are a welcoming and generous people, but those who enter our country's #borders illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of the law.

We need to secure our borders, and support additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.
We also need to do more to promote economic development in migrant-sending nations, to reduce incentives to come to the United States illegally

Like our Founders, we believe that our nation, our communities, and our lives are made vastly stronger and richer by #faith and the countless acts of justice and mercy it inspires.

At the same time, we can ensure that these partnerships do not endanger First Amendment protections – because there is no conflict between supporting faith-based institutions and respecting our Constitution. #supportfaith

At a time when our nation's officers are being asked both to provide traditional law enforcement services and to help protect the homeland, taking police off of the street is neither tough nor smart; we reject this disastrous approach. #SupportPolice

We support and will restore funding to our courageous police officers and will ensure that they are equipped with the best technology, equipment, and innovative strategies to prevent and fight crimes. #FundThePolice

Too many fathers are missing–missing from too many lives and too many homes. Children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and are more likely to commit crime, drop out of school, abuse drugs, and end up in prison. #BabyMama #deadbeatdads

We need more fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. #ChooseLIFE

We must help state, local, and tribal law enforcement work together to combat and prevent drug crime and drug and alcohol abuse, which are a blight on our communities.
#BackTheBlue

We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. #January6th

Our Constitution is not a nuisance. It is the foundation of our democracy. It makes freedom and self-governance possible, and helps to protect our security. #MAGA
