Kerry's Record

KERRY'S RECORD -- (House of Representatives - April 28, 2004)

(Ms. LINDA T. SÁNCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

Ms. LINDA T. SÁNCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of JOHN KERRY, the Democratic presidential nominee, the only candidate who has a real plan to build a stronger, more secure America. JOHN KERRY is committed to empowering our communities by creating good jobs, improving our public schools and increasing home ownership. JOHN KERRY has the best combination of character, policymaking experience and national security credentials to get our neighborhoods and our country back on track.

Back on track from what, one might ask? From a dismal GOP economic record. This administration's economic plan has created the worst job loss since President Hoover. A whopping 2.8 million jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office, including 1 million jobs that have been shipped overseas. Nevertheless, President Bush says our economy is strong. He should see how his economic plan has devastated hardworking families like in my home State of California where over 1 million Californians are looking for work. Clearly we need new leadership in the White House that has a strategy to create jobs, revitalize our economy and help all working families realize their dreams. JOHN KERRY is the man to do this
