Platform

Health Care
Our goal is to make sure health care is affordable and available to everyone. No matter income, age, or career, we will do whatever is needed to ensure the people of our nation don't have to go broke because of over-priced health care. Our party has recently passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and we believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. The ACA has covered 20 million more Americans and made sure that millions more won't be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. We will fight to make sure that medical debt decreases and everyone has access to affordable and quality health care.

Civil Rights
Discrimination based on race, religion, sexuality, age, disability, income, and gender happens on a daily basis, and we will fight to end it. We, the democratic party, believe that everyone is created equal and entitled to their civil rights. Our party fully supports the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We will also fight for fair housing, equal pay, and keeping marriage laws at the state level so that there can be no federal gay marriage ban. Also, we support the rights and freedoms of churches and religious beings to decide how to administer marriage without government interference. We will fight against race and religious profiling. Some parts of the Patriot Act could be strengthened so that our individual rights, like the library provisions, are no longer threatened. We will do our best to support our veterans in making sure they are employed and are in good living conditions.

Food Insecurity
Mr Dales and Mr Russo know that  food insecurity in the United States is very high, and are very willing to raise the money to better the health of Americans. All citizens who do not currently have a steady paying job, will receive food stamps based on the size of their family, once on the list for food stamps Mr. Dales and Mr. Russo will provide a list of jobs, to help make food stamp dependents contributing citizens of the United States. Once a citizen has acquired a job, the government will slowly ween them off of the food stamps. Food stamps will also be risen to $200 per month.

Imigration
Immigration is treated as a big problem in our society today but in the wrong ways. The democratic platform believes in a path for undocumented aliens to earn citizenship. Those who are struggling will be helped. We also believe in protecting immigrants from the exploitation of their employers. Meaning when immigrants are brought over to America to work and then are deported for doing nothing wrong other than working cause they were told they could. The employers are to be subject to penalties, and for the immigrants we support restoration of basic due process protections, so that immigrants are no longer subject to deportation for minor offenses and are eligible to receive safety net services supported by their tax dollars. Lastly we support the DREAM act for kids who are brought to this country at a young age by there parents and all they know is America, they go to school here, play sports, and have lived here there whole lives. So instead of deporting kids to a country where they don't even speak the language they are protected by the DREAM act and will be able to continue to contribute to our society.

Education
Education is an important thing for children to have access to. Education is the foundation of the worlds economic system. Without education people would never become prepared for their future. By expanding the rate of students completing a higher education we can then expand the amount of opportunities for the future. We plan to increase the nations education budget and funds nationwide to help the children who need it most.
