CDNY is Ready for a Campaign toTurn NY-23 Blue!

The College Democrats would like to congratulate President Obama on continuing his campaign pledge to govern in a bipartisan manner by nominating Republican Congressman John McHugh to become the next Secretary of the Army. “This move shows the President’s dedication to naming the best qualified individual’s to initiate his agenda, regardless of party membership,” said Ian Rivera, President of the College Democrats of New York, “I believe that Congressman McHugh will make an outstanding Secretary of the Army, considering his experience on the House Armed Services Committee, and I am grateful for his service to the men and woman in uniform and their families at Fort Drum and look forward to his tenure as Secretary of the Army ensuring our men and women in uniform have everything they need to carry out the President’s Defense Agenda.”

CDNY Response to Liberty University

The College Democrats of New York are deeply disappointed with Liberty University’s decision to ban the Liberty University chapter of College Democrats from campus. This attempt to stifle alternate opinions is fundamentally opposed to the spirit of free speech necessary for higher education and the health of America’s democracy. We hope that Liberty University reverses its decision and incorporates the College Democrats into an environment of academic freedom and tolerance that furthers the University’s mission of educating America’s future leaders.

The Animated Credit Crisis

I've had this video explaining the Credit Crisis sent to me the few times over the last week. It does a pretty good job summarizing how we got here and it'll keep your attention. Since it's only 11 minutes, it does gloss over some sections, but it gives a really clear explanation overall. If you've been wondering how we got here, definitely watch the video!

“As the CBO analysis shows, the Recovery Act has lessened the effects of the worst recession in a generation and is beginning to help turn things around.

“The CBO found the Recovery Act is responsible for 600,000 to 1.6 million jobs and has raised GDP by 1.2 to 3.2 percent. Without the Recovery Act these jobs would have either disappeared or never existed in the first place and this positive economic growth would not have been possible.

“Our economy still has a long way to go and we will not rest until everyone who wants a job can find one, but the economy is no longer in a free-fall. Democrats in Congress showed real leadership by supporting the Recovery Act. Unfortunately, Republicans - the Party of NO -refused to offer an alternative. They stood on the sidelines as President Obama and Congressional Democrats took the steps necessary to reverse the economic decline they inherited after eight years of failed Republican economic policies. Now, by cheering for the Act’s failure, the GOP remains on the wrong side of history. As President Obama and Democrats continue to take steps to strengthen our economy, it’s time for Republicans to stop saying 'No', quit playing politics and start working with us on behalf of American families and workers.” Read More...
