I am especially proud to have the support of men and women who provide essential services for our citizens.

I definitely do not support a constitutional amendment that has to do with prohibiting gay marriage.

But the men and women of our armed forces are deserving of our unqualified support.

Instead of following through on their promise to concentrate on jobs, Republicans have attacked seniors, working families, women, and the most vulnerable among us. They have pursued an extreme agenda that would end Medicare as we know it and cut Social Security benefits in order to continue giving tax breaks to Big Oil and millionaires.

Employers should not be able to impose their religious beliefs on female employees, ignoring their individual health decisions and denying their right to reproductive care. Bosses belong in the boardroom, not in the bedroom.

Jim Gibbons has maintained the status quo by supporting tax breaks for utilities to continue producing energy from coal, natural gas and even nuclear energy.
