What Change Looks Like
Congress made history by voting to send health care reform to the President.
This is the kind of change Americans voted for in 2008. President Obama addressed the nation
on Sunday, March 21, to describe the benefits this legislation will provide in
giving Americans control of their own health care.
Putting Americans in Control of Their Health Care
Democrats passed major health care reform legislation earlier this year because
we believe that every American should have access to affordable health care. Click

SCCDP Urges Changing the Rules for Filibuster
The Santa Clara County Democratic Party passed a resolution urges the Democratic majority in the
US Senate to change the rules governing filibuster. The Republican minority is using
the filibuster to block any and all actions by the elected majority and the Obama administration.
We believe that majority rule if fundamental to our democratic form of government, and
all legislation should not require a supermajority.
The Facts About Health Care Reform
Learn the truth behind the Republicans' false claims on health reform. During
debate in the Senate on the health reform bill, Republican Senators made over 150
false claims in their attempt to kill health reform at all costs. It is important to be
able to separate truth from facts.
