For more than 200 years, the Democratic Party has represented the interests of working families, fighting for equal opportunities and justice for all Americans. Today, Democrats continue that fight with a firm commitment to the values that we all share as Americans: a secure nation that leads in the world, strong economic growth and new jobs, affordable health care for all Americans, and a better education for our children.
"If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace."
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that Democrat Al Franken be certified as the winner of the state's long-running Senate race.
The high court rejected a legal challenge from Republican Norm Coleman, whose options for regaining the Senate seat are dwindling.
Justices said Franken is entitled to the election certificate he needs to assume office. With Franken and the usual backing of two independents, Democrats will have a big enough majority to overcome Republican filibusters.
Coleman accepted the loss shortly after the decision was announced, saying he had few regrets.
The Obama Administration will look to the challenges we face as a nation with the same spirit of determination and optimism that characterized President-Elect Obama’s campaign. From the beginning, the campaign was about a nation tired of the same old politics, a nation eager to stand up and lead the world in a new direction. It was a campaign calling for change – to restore prosperity, create jobs, and cut taxes for the middle-class; to make health care and college more affordable; to invest in new energy sources, set a timetable to end the war in Iraq responsibly and restore our standing in the world.
