Democrats Leading the Way for ChangeClick the 'play' button to start video. December 20, 2007 - As December recess is upon us the Senate Democratic Caucus is proud of the steps it has taken to put working families fi r st, making our county safer, and supporting our courageous troops with more than words, but action. Closing the last session of the 110th Congress for 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, "[W]e worked to address the major issues that affect us at home and abroad and while we have made real progress on behalf of the American people , there is much more left to do." Senate Democratic Communication Center has released a video entitled, 'Democrats Leading the Way for Change,' which highlights the accomplishments of the Democratic Majority in the U.S. Senate, despite facing unprecedented obstruction from Bush Republicans. Senate Democrats remain committed to change as the American people are. We look forward to returning in 2008, optimistic that we will continue to lead the way for change and fulfill the needs of the American people.
