Schumer, Chuck with Squadron, Daniel
Positively American ; Winning Back The Middle-Class Majority One Family At A Time
New York: Rodale Books 2007. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. xiv 274 pages. Name index. The dust jacket has some wear and tear. Inscribed by Senator Schumer on the title page to his friend and colleague former Senator Kent Conrad. The inscription reads: "To Kentie: Why do I love the Senate Most of all its because there are people like Kent Conrad who are there. You are a joy to watch listen to and learn from. I admire you and am glad we are friends! Chuck". Also included is a note from Senator Schumer on his Senate stationary to Senator Conrad dated April 26 2007 stating that Senator Schumer's book is enclosed. Charles Ellis Schumer born November 23 1950 is an American politician serving as Senate Majority Leader since 2021 and as a United States senator from New York since 1999. He has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017 and was Senate Minority Leader from 2017 to 2021. He became New York's senior senator in 2001 on the retirement of Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Elected to a fifth Senate term in 2022 Schumer surpassed Moynihan and Jacob K. Javits as the longest-serving U.S. senator from New York. Daniel L. Squadron born November 9 1979 is an American politician and former member of the New York State Senate for the 26th district. A Democrat Squadron was elected a New York State Senator in 2008 and was a candidate in the 2013 race for New York Public Advocate. In August 2017 he resigned from the State Senate to work with entrepreneur Adam Pritzker and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University to launch Future Now a national initiative to promote "policies focused on creating a better healthier fairer future." New York’s popular senior senator who won reelection by the largest margin in the state’s history offers a bold plan for change in the Democratic party. As the results of the last presidential election played out it became clear that while Democrats call themselves the party of the middle the middle class does not consider the Democrats their party. Now Chuck Schumer who has gained national prominence as the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and as a member of the Finance Committee offers his plan for capturing the middle-class vote and moving his party back into the majority. Democrats can accomplish this the senator explains without abandoning their traditional principles. Schumer envisions a hypothetical average middle-class American family—he thinks of them as "The Baileys"—who spend "as much time talking about the cost of cornflakes as the cost of the national debt." He then details specific proposals he believes would keep America safe secure and on top; and support the aspirations of a prosperous and growing middle class while speaking to anxieties created in a world changed by technology and globalization. For example he proposes to: · increase the number of college graduates by 50%. · reduce property taxes by 50%. New York's popular senior senator who won reelection by the largest margin in the states history offers a bold plan for change in the Democratic party. He also details specific proposals he believes would keep America safe secure and on top. From Wikipedia: "Charles Ellis "Chuck" Schumer born November 23 1950 is the senior United States Senator from New York and a member of the Democratic Party. First elected in 1998 he defeated three-term Republican incumbent Al D'Amato by a margin of 55%-44%. Schumer was re-elected in 2004 by a margin of 71% 24% and in 2010 by a margin of 66%-33%. Before his election to the U.S. Senate Schumer served in the US House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999 representing New York's 16th congressional district later redistricted to the 10th congressional district in 1983 and to the 9th congressional district in 1993. A native of Brooklyn and graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School he was a three-term member of the New York State Assembly serving from 1975 to 1980. Schumer was chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee from 2005 to 2009 in which post he oversaw a total of 14 Democratic gains in the Senate in the 2006 and 2008 elections. He is the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate behind Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin elected Vice Chairman of the Democratic Caucus in the Senate in 2006. In November 2010 he was also chosen to hold the additional role of chairman of the Senate Democratic Policy Committee starting at the opening of the 112th Congress. Notable former aides to Schumer include former US congressman Anthony Weiner and current New York state senator Daniel Squadron." Rodale Books hardcover
