We have done it before; we can do it again. But this time the vision is not coming from the Republicans in the White House, so it has to come from the people. It has to come from you.
In response to the Great Depression, FDR and Democrats created new opportunities for men and women to work through his alphabet soup of new agencies like the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps.
Today, we've got plenty of government agencies, but we need to adopt the same simple idea as Roosevelt and the Democrats did, back then.
That's why I want to reject the Republicans' failed philosophy of taking care of wealthy insiders at the expense of everyone else.
I propose this New America initiative dedicated to creating good-paying jobs for Katrina's victims so they can get back on their feet, get the skills they need, and rebuild New Orleans.
