We did it. We’ve made history. Working families have won back the U.S. House of Representatives, picking up at least 28 seats (13 more than we needed to win back control) and votes are still being counted in many races across the country. In the U.S. Senate, we have won back at least four seats with votes still being counted in two key races—Montana and Virginia—that will determine whether we win back the Senate as well.
Yesterday’s resounding victories are a testament to the power of ordinary working Americans working together to change the course of our country. We stood together and rejected the Bush administration’s agenda. We said no special favors to the privileged while blocking the minimum wage. No to lousy trade deals that have exported good jobs. No to privatizing Social Security. No to spending hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives in Iraq while ignoring the war on the middle class at home. No to energy and health care policies that have fattened oil and pharmaceutical industry profits without helping working families.
