Two years ago, we helped guarantee that Americans can keep their health insurance when they change jobs. The Family and Medical Leave Act was the very first bill I was privileged to sign into law as president in 1993. I ask you to extend that law to cover 10 million more workers and to give parents time off when they have to go see their children s teachers or take them to the doctor. Last year I co-hosted the very first White House conference on child care with one of our foremost experts America s first lady. Crime Violent crime is down.
Robbery is down.
Assault is down. Burglary is down. For five years in a row, all across America. Now, we need to finish the job of putting 100,000 more police on our streets. For 50 years, NATO contained communism and kept America and Europe secure.
