Plank Issues
As Democrats, we believe that the death penalty should be used. Although we support it, we believe there are certain guidelines that need to be followed in order to use the death penalty. These guidelines include, the death penalty shouldn't be used out of random. The person on death row needs to be a definite criminal, because many incidents have happened when the man/woman was killed, but was found innocent eventually. We will do our best to stop crimes so the death sentence doesn't have to be used much. We will also be careful with who we use the death penalty for by giving DNA testing and we encourage post-conviction reviews.
Education:
Democrats understand the importance of turning around struggling public schools. We believe in strengthening all schools and working to expand public school options for low-income youth. To help encourage college for every student, we took on banks to reform student loan programs, saving more than 60 billion dollars by removing banks as the middlemen, so they could directly invest in students. We believe in making education more affordable, making tuition tax deductible, expanding pell grants, and cutting student loan interest rates.
