.
A few weeks ago, Chairman Van Hollen asked for your ideas on what the top priority should be for the new Congress. Your response was overwhelming with thousands of suggestions. You had a chance to vote on five of the top suggestions. Here are the results:
The number one priority is...

  1. 51.4% — Economic Stimulus A stimulus package to create jobs is needed and will help everyone. People with jobs spend money. This stabilizes the Market, which replenishes people's savings and retirement funds — Mary, OR

The rest of the results...

  1. 2. 24.2% — Health Care The most important change for me is accessible, affordable health care for all Americans; employed or unemployed; old or young. — Deb, FL

  2. 2.7% — The Environment Work to improve the environment and reduce global warming — Jerry, VA

  3. 7.0% — Tax Reform Targeted tax cuts for working people, creation of real jobs, eliminate tax loopholes — George, TX

  4. 4.7% — Caring for Our Troops Get us out of Iraq responsibly and create and oversee programs that will ensure the physical, emotional and economic well being of returning U.S. soldiers — Karen, CA
