The First 100 Hours

Current House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi set out what the dem's would do in the first 100 hours if they are to take control of the House after November Elections.
Something to keep in mind when you go to polls:

"Day One: Put new rules in place to "break the link between lobbyists and legislation."

Day Two: Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Time remaining until 100 hours: Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step. Cut the interest rate on student loans in half. Allow the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.

Broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds — "I hope with a veto-proof majority," she added in an Associated Press interview Thursday.

All the days after that: "Pay as you go," meaning no increasing the deficit, whether the issue is middle class tax relief, health care or some other priority."

Democrats need to hammer this message in ads and in speeches until Election Day. Make the "100 hours" a message mantra, and it wouldn't hurt to add Pelosi's flourish that it would only take 100 hours to "drain the swamp" of the former Republican leadership, which packs an extra rhetorical punch after the events of the last week.
