Progress is a choice. Job creation is a choice. Whether we give our children a future of more or a future of less - this, too, is a choice.
I think we can all agree that every child's home deserves to be protected equally under the law, that there is dignity in every child's home.
Our parents and grandparents understood this truth deeply. They believed - as we do - that to create jobs, a modern economy requires modern investments: educating, innovating and rebuilding for our children's future. Building an economy to last, from the middle class up, not from the billionaires down.
Our parents taught us to love God, love our family and love our country. Their own grandparents were immigrants. Their first language may not have been English, but the hopes and dreams they had for their children were purely American.
