Help Reach 60 Democrats In The Senate

Sixty is the magic number. If we reach 60 Democrats in the Senate, then the days of Republican obstruction are over. With Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the White House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

But we can’t reach 60 if these three Democrats don’t win their extraordinarily close races: Mark Begich up in Alaska, Jeff Merkley in Oregon, and Mark Udall in Colorado.

I need these three Democrats working side-by-side with me on the Senate floor to accomplish the goals you and I set out — rebuilding a strong middle class, health care for every American, and ending the war in Iraq. Barack Obama needs their help to reach a filibuster-proof majority that will end GOP obstruction once and for all.

Feeling the pressure with only two weeks before Election Day, Republicans have stepped up their attacks against Democrats. They’re putting everything they have into these races, and our candidates need to match their efforts dollar-for-dollar.

They’re tight races where the polls have them tied or within striking distance, and your decision to support them right now could make the difference on Election Day. Join me today and help Mark, Jeff, and Mark win.

These are some great candidates who need our help.

Strong American Schools Unveils New Research on the Cost of College Remediation for Unprepared U.S. Students and Taxpayers

Washington, DC — High school seniors return to school this fall confident that their course loads are challenging enough to prepare them for the rigor of college study. They are wrong. Strong American Schools Chairman Roy Romer today unveiled Diploma to Nowhere, a study which highlights the fact that many college freshmen need to take remedial classes to relearn skills they should have been taught before graduation. The study also reveals that remediation affects students of all income and ethnicities and the psychological impact that remediation has on these students.

The executive summary and full report, Diploma to Nowhere, can be found at www.edin08.com. Read More
