Contested from page A13 U.S. Supreme Court I do not believe that the country has been well served by President Bush's two very conservative nominations to the Supreme Court. As a result, the Court sits at a tipping point. Hanging in the balance are fundamental consti- tutional principles relating to separa- tion of church and state, a woman's right to choose, protection for the environment, and the reach of presi- dential power. One way or the other, the next president will fundamentally change the Court and America for decades to come. Never Forget For humanity to avoid repeating the tragedies of the past, we must begin with remembrances and education. The founding values of this country require that we lead such efforts, and to lead in efforts to halt crimes against humanity. Congress has repeat- edly acted to address the genocide in Darfur, but executive leadership is required. The United States simply must do more to halt these atrocities. The new administration must play a more active role in leading the interna- tional community's response, includ- ing greater support for the United Nations — African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). Finally, we must press China to use its unique lever- age with Khartoum end the Sudanese government's obstruction of UNAMID. Abortion ENTER & WIN!!

We must unlock this potential to cure and treat debili- tating diseases. I am also a strong advocate of increasing funding for all federal medical research. Immigration There is no doubt that our immi- gration system is broken. A lack of resources on the border allows undocumented immigrants to cross into our country unhindered. Our government also lacks the ability to adequately detect and prevent unau- thorized employment. The first step in immigration reform must be stronger border security. This common sense step must also be accompanied with a more secure, more sensible and fairer system of legal immigration. Michigan As chair of the trade subcommit- tee, my top priority is to change U.S. trade policy so it stands up for U.S. businesses and workers in the global marketplace. We must enforce trade agreements, stop unfair trading practices hurting our businesses and establish new rules of competition in the global marketplace to address worker rights and environmental issues. I'm also fighting for federal funding to help the auto industry and parts suppliers retool their plants to produce advanced-technology vehicles and I want to expand the Research and Development Tax Credit, which is vital to industries across our state. Humanitarian Outreach Rising food prices in our country continue to strain household bud- gets as well as the effectiveness of our food assistance programs. In light of the soaring food prices, Rep. Herseth Sandlin of South Dakota and I have spearheaded an effort to increase funding for the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which provides monthly nutritious food packages for low-income seniors, women and children. I also support increased funding for food stamps and am the author of legislation to encour- age businesses to donate food inven- tory to food banks and other hunger- fighting organizations.
