“From Syria, a Tragic
Call to Protect All the World’s Children
… The world needs
America’s leadership to spare children from tragedy, and not only
in Syria. More than 20 million people across North East Nigeria,
Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen are facing threat of famine and
starvation in the next six months. Almost 1.5 million children are at
immediate risk of death, and many more might have their development
permanently stunted unless America acts. Slashing the State
Department and foreign aid budget by 30 percent would only deepen the
crisis facing these children. We must not stand on the sidelines and
watch them die — especially when our intervention could save so
many innocent young lives.
Even
here in America, hunger and poverty stalks children in too many
communities. Astoundingly, even in the greatest nation on earth, one
in five children lives in poverty and goes to sleep hungry at night.
Sadly, their struggle will only be worsened by the cuts of the
President’s budget blueprint, which would hollow out vital supports
for children in poverty.
Children
need America to be their champion. We should be relentless,
dissatisfied and tenacious to protect them. That requires a budget
that honors our sacred responsibility to the children around the
world who are victims of famine, war, and disease — not one
that slashes the investments that young lives at home and around the
world depend on. We must recognize we have the same moral
responsibility to the child dying of starvation as the child dying of
sarin.
For the
sake of the world’s children, we must pray that the heartbreaking
scenes from Syria have truly awakened the conscience of the world.”

Focused Thought in 30 seconds
Q: What is net neutrality?
A: Net neutrality, or open Internet, is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) should give consumers access to all legal content and applications on an equal basis, without favoring some sources or blocking others. It prohibits ISPs from charging content providers for speedier delivery of their content on "fast lanes" and deliberately slowing the content from content providers that may compete with ISPs.

(Linked) "...is our 2016 platform...a declaration of how we plan to move America forward. Democrats believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.
It’s a simple but powerful idea: We are stronger together."
