You don't have to look far to find someone impacted by this recession - whether it's the loss of a job, a reduction in workplace benefits or the evaporation of their retirement, college and personal savings. It could be your neighbor. It could be a family member. It could be you.
All across our country, millions of families and small businesses are struggling to make ends meet during this downturn, and they're looking to our leaders for real solutions to help turn around this situation. They don't care if they're Democratic solutions or Republican solutions.

Michael Steele is not the answer. He is unsure and not articulate in crafting answers. In fact, he is a third rate, rank amateur. V’s wife.
Agreed! I was big on him in the beginning but he stumbled out of the gate and then just showed himself to be another peice of our problem puzzle.
I pitch mailings from Steele immediately.
And GOP leader remotely connected with the debacles in 2006 and 2008 should be shown the door.
