Camino a la Casa Blanca: Guía de temas Seguridad en la jubilación Todos tenemos derecho a una
jubilación sana y segura. Es preciso proteger Medicare y la seguridad social para las generaciones futuras
Creación de empleo Pongamos al país en marcha. Hacen falta políticas de crecimiento que mantengan los trabajos bien remunerados dentro de nuestras fronteras
Derechos del colectivo LGBTQ+ Apoyamos la igualdad de las personas LGBTQ+ contra la discriminación en todas las áreas, como acceso a la vivienda, empleo y salud.
Acabar con la crisis de opioides El país enfrenta una emergencia de salud pública que debemos combatir por todos los medios legales. Es urgente acabar con el abuso de los opioides.
Abordar el cambio climático Debemos enfrentar el cambio climático, proteger nuestros recursos naturales y garantizar la calidad del aire, el agua y la tierra, ahora y siempre.
Paz a través de la fuerza Es preciso priorizar a nuestras fuerzas armadas para que sigan siendo modernas y ágiles, y puedan adaptarse a futuras amenazas.
Acceso igual a la atención médica Todos tenemos derecho a recibir atención médica. El Gobierno debe tener un papel central en mejorar la salud de los estadounidenses.
Menos impuestos Debemos bajar impuestos para que los ciudadanos mantengan una mayor parte de lo que ganan y tengan la libertad para ahorrar, gastar o invertir.
*Asistencia a los menos favorecidos Creemos que nadie debe vivir en la pobreza o pasar hambre en este país. Se deben aplicar programas de asistencia para ayudar.
Sector de salud más competitivo Creemos en un sistema de salud de libre elección del paciente basado en la calidad asistencial y en la competencia entre aseguradoras y proveedores.
*Financiamiento de campañas Debemos poner fin al control oculto que ejercen las compañías y los millonarios sobre la democracia. La financiación tiene que ser más
Combatir el terrorismo en el extranjero Las amenazas terroristas a los Estados Unidos exigen tanto potenciar las fuerzas armadas como explorar opciones no militares.
Derecho al voto Todos los ciudadanos deben tener la opción de votar en elecciones libres y justas. Las leyes deben promover la participación, no impedirla.
Prevención del fraude electoral Para proteger la integridad de las elecciones, debemos exigir pruebas de ciudadanía al registrarse y una identificación con foto al votar/
*Reforma migratoria Debemos reformar el sistema de inmigración, hacerlo más justo y rápido, sin que ello amenace nuestra seguridad nacional. Un muro no es una buena idea.
Protección de la frontera La crisis humanitaria y de seguridad nacional de la frontera sur exige medidas inmediatas y significativas.
Fondos federales para la educación El Gobierno federal es responsable de ayudar a los niños a tener la mejor educación escolar (K-12) y de ofrecer matrículas universitarias asequibles.
Elección de escuelas La mayor parte del financiamiento educativo debe ir a las familias para que sean ellas las que elijan las mejores escuelas públicas o privadas.
Prevención de violencia con armas de fuego Debemos tomar medidas sensatas, como limitar la compra de algunas armas, para enfrentar la violencia relacionada con las armas.
Derecho a portar armas El Gobierno federal no debe restringir el derecho a tener armas entre los ciudadanos que respeten la ley. Hay que proteger la 2.a Enmienda.
Estándares de contaminación El Gobierno debe tomar pasos decididos para limitar la contaminación. Debemos enfrentar su impacto en la gente y en el medioambiente.
Innovación empresarial El Gobierno no debe restringir el crecimiento de las compañías estadounidenses mediante impuestos injustos o regulaciones excesivas.
Derechos reproductivos de mujeres Todas las mujeres deben tener acceso a servicios de salud reproductiva de calidad, lo que incluye el aborto seguro y legal.
Protección de los no nacidos Los no nacidos son seres humanos inocentes desde el momento de la concepción. Es necesario proteger su derecho fundamental a la vida.
Cooperación global Los desafíos del siglo XXI exigen participar en organizaciones como Naciones Unidas y la OTAN para hacer del mundo un lugar más seguro.
Independencia global El país debe mantener su independencia y sus valores mientras participa en relaciones internacionales.
Energía limpia Las energías renovables impulsan la economía con puestos de trabajo bien pagados, frenan el cambio climático y reducen las importaciones de petróleo.
Gobierno limitado El Gobierno debe gastar menos y limitar su papel en la vida diaria de los estadounidenses.
