76% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going today. And why wouldn't they be when:

The U.S. is pouring $6 billion a month into the war in Iraq, money we could use at home to expand health care, improve access to higher education, and invest in alternative energy sources to combat global warming. Here’s why you should Invest in US:

* From dangerous heat waves and shrinking snowpack to extreme drought and increased wildfires, the dangers of global warming are cause for immediate action. Energy efficient homes and businesses, cars that go farther on a gallon of gas, and renewable energy like wind and solar are the solutions, and they’re at our fingertips.

* Many qualified high school graduates can’t afford to go to college. Many more who can are forced to go deeply into debt to get a degree. Too often, our public schools don’t have the resources they need to properly prepare students for college.

*40 million Americans have no health care, and 9 million of those are children.

We have the technology, the know-how, the money, and the spirit to start working toward solving these problems.

Take a stand for America’s future.
