If you have ever received benefits through Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, thank a Democrat.

The good work of the Democratic Party will continue. Attacks against the party, lies, misleading ads, or angry rhetoric directed toward the party will not keep us from doing the only thing we know how to do: protect the interests of the American People.
