The Des Moines Register  8/14/15
"O'Malley's Plan Was Praised For Its Depth And Specificity."
"O'Malley positions himself as a new voice."

GOAL 1 INCREASE AMERICAN FAMILIES' MEDIAN NET WORTH BY $25,000 IN 10 YEARS.
Families' median net worth has fallen while wages and incomes have remained mostly stagnant. This is not the equal opportunity of the American Dream. We must BUILD AN ECONOMY that works for everyone. Governor Martin O'Malley has a progressive plan to cut the pay gap between full-time men and women workers in half by 2025; increase the number of families with adequate retirement savings by 50% within 8 years; and reach wage growth of 4% annually by 2018.

GOAL 2 GENERATE 100% OF AMERICAN ELECTRICITY WITH CLEAN ENERGY BY 2050.
Inaction is no longer an option when it comes to facing the real issue of climate change. We have a moral obligation to future generations to act now. Governor O'Malley will tackle the climate crisis with a new American clean energy jobs agenda comprised of DETAILED POLICIES that will rapidly develop the renewable energy industry, create millions of new clean energy jobs, and end our reliance on fossil fuels.

GOAL 3 CUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN HALF WITHIN 3 YEARS.
The American Dream promises OPPORTUNITY, but today unemployment for young people is more than twice the overall rate. Our young people are our future, and we must give them the tools they need, including universal access to national service, to build a better country.
 
GOAL 4 REACH FULL EMPLOYMENT FOR AMERICAN VETERANS BY 2020.
Veterans have sacrificed to serve our country. When they return, they should have the same opportunities they served to protect. Our servicemen and women deserve to be welcomed home to their own, hard-earned AMERICAN DREAM.

Alliance for Citizenship  (Press Release 7/15/15)
"With His Latest Policy Roll-Out, Martin O'Malley Continues To Lead The 2016 Presidential Field On Immigrant Rights."


GOAL 5 PUT 11 MILLION NEW AMERICANS ON THE PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM.

We are a nation of immigrants-whether our ancestors came from Ireland or from Mexico, whether they immigrated here generations ago, or whether our parents brought us to the United States. Comprehensive immigration reform will help all families-by lifting wages, creating new jobs, growing our economy, expanding our tax base, and improving standards for all workers. Governor O'Malley will fight for a nimble, data-driven immigration system to meet our economic needs and SAFEGUARD all American workers.

GOAL 6 ENSURE THAT ALL HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS HAVE THE OPTION TO GRADUATE DEBT-FREE WITHIN 5 YEARS.
The GI Bill allowed Governor O'Malley's father, a WWII bombardier, to go to law school debt free. Education is a cornerstone of the American Dream, but today nearly 70% of U.S. students graduate with debt averaging more than $28,000. Governor O'Malley will give every student the OPPORTUNITY to attend college without taking on debt through his detailed plan for restoring investment in higher education, reducing tuition rates, and making other progressive reforms.

The Des Moines Register  8/14/15
"O'Malley champions pre-K in Cedar Rapids stop."

GOAL 7 IMPROVE COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS, AND INCREASE COLLEGE COMPLETION RATES BY 25 PERCENTAGE POINTS WITHIN 10 YEARS.
As Governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley increased funding and made Maryland schools #1 in America for five years in a row. Our country was built on the belief that, no matter who you are or where you were born, you should have equal opportunity. We must support every student, regardless of wealth disparities, so that all can achieve scholastic SUCCESS.

GOAL 8 ERADICATE CHILDHOOD HUNGER IN AMERICA BY 2020.
It is unacceptable that 15% of our population lives in poverty and one in three American children goes hungry. As a nation, we only grow when each and every American life is a PRIORITY. We have the power to reduce poverty and eradicate childhood hunger through greater investments in communities, public education, and critical programs like the Earned Income Tax Credit that help families get and stay on their feet.

GOAL 9 REFORM OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM TO SAVE AND REDEEM LIVES.
As Governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley drove violent crime down to 30-year lows, incarceration to 20-year lows, and recidivism down by nearly 15%. Now, Governor O'Malley has outlined a comprehensive criminal justice reform plan, including measures to build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, ENSURE FAIRNESS in sentencing, reduce recidivism through better re-entry programs, and address the discriminatory and punitive application of student discipline. "We must strive to make our "corrections" facilities actually achieve rehabilitation. There is no such thing as a spare American."

GOAL 10 CUT DEATHS FROM GUN VIOLENCE–HOMICIDES, SUICIDES, AND ACCIDENTS–IN HALF BY 2025.
The need for commonsense gun legislation is undeniable. Each day, 31 people are murdered with guns, 55 people commit suicide with guns, and 46 are shot or killed by accident. As Governor, O'Malley's reforms to reduce gun violence included implementing a handgun qualification license requiring fingerprint background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a magazine capacity limit. He is PREPARED to address our nation's need for gun reform.

GOAL 11 REDUCE DEATHS FROM DRUG OVERDOSES BY 25 PERCENT BY 2020.
Deaths from drug overdoses have doubled over the last 15 years with more than half caused by prescription drug abuse. Governor O'Malley has a PLAN to expand funding for drug treatment services to address this growing epidemic.

GOAL 12 REDUCE INFANT MORTALITY BY 10 PERCENT BY 2020.
The greatest resource in America is Americans, and we pay a heavy cost for lack of available, quality health care. The U.S. ranks 56th worldwide in infant mortality, with more than 6 out of every 1,000 babies dying before their first birthday. Access to quality health care is both a privilege and a right for all Americans - not just wealthy Americans. It is time for change; it is time for RESULTS that save lives.

"Martin O'Malley focuses on policies 'for all of us' in Cedar Falls stop."

GOAL 13 REQUIRE BANKS TO SEPARATE COMMERCIAL AND SPECULATIVE BANKING WITHIN 5 YEARS.
Seven years after the financial collapse, a handful of mega banks still threaten to bring down our entire economy and not a single Wall Street CEO has been prosecuted. Governor Martin O'Malley has a BOLD PLAN for structural and accountability reforms to rein in Wall Street for good. It is time to reinstate Glass-Steagall and end the days of too-big-to-fail, too-big-to-jail banks.

GOAL 14 RESTORE FAIR COMPETITION TO THE AMERICAN ECONOMY THROUGH STRONG ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT.
Our nation's antitrust laws were built to protect fair and competitive markets where small businesses, small farmers, and innovation could thrive. However, they have been reinterpreted to protect "efficiency" instead, allowing bigger and bigger corporations to shut out competition in many once-vibrant areas of our economy. Today in America, a handful of companies now control the vast majority of the market in industries ranging from beef, seeds, and milk; to airlines, semiconductors, and defense contracting and procurement-depressing wages and employment and dampening innovation. A FIRST STEP to reversing this consolidation is to direct the U.S. Department of Justice to issue new policies to aggressively enforce our antimonopoly laws.

Quad-City Times  6/13/15
O'MALLEY TOUTS PROGRESSIVE VALUES, EXPERIENCE, RESULTS
"Selling himself as a progressive who gets things done, Martin O'Malley engaged in classic Iowa retail politics."

GOAL 15 IMPLEMENT PUBLIC FINANCING OF CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGNS WITHIN 5 YEARS.
Our broken campaign finance system allows special interests to drown out the voices of everyday Americans and block policies that would benefit the middle class. In 2014, the top 100 donors to super PACs spent almost as much money as every single small-dollar donor combined. Special interest groups are spending billions on federal elections. To have a government that works FOR THE PEOPLE, we must have a government that is not for sale.

Governor O'Malley's 15 Goals to Rebuild the American Dream provide a clear, measurable roadmap for overcoming the challenges that face our nation. Governor O'Malley will put our national interests ahead of powerful, wealthy special interests; he will make our federal government work to deliver real, measurable results for the people of the United States.
