S.J. Res.1: Balanced Budget Constitutional Amendment
The Balanced Budget Amendment is good for America's families because it means reduced interest rates and a lower cost of living. It will help safeguard Social Security and Medicare while protecting future generations from crushing debt.
S. 1: Safe and Affordable Schools Act
Our goals are simple: we will strengthen parents, states and local communities in their fight to provide our children a better education -- by giving parents whose children are struggling against the violence and chaos of our urban public schools a choice of something better; and we will make college education more affordable today and for the future.
S. 2: Family Tax Relief Act
Providing pro-family and pro-growth tax relief, this bill provides a $500-per-child tax credit, expands IRAs for spouses and other purposes, reduces the confiscatory estate tax that jeopardizes family businesses, and promotes savings and investment by lowering the anti-growth capital gains tax.
S. 3: Omnibus Crime Control Act
Because a government's first duty is to protect its citizens, the 105th Congress is going to continue the tough, smart, effective fight against crime and drugs that was begun in the 104th.
S. 4: Family-Friendly Workplace Act
Today's working parents have less time than ever to spend with their children. This legislation gives employees the opportunity to adjust their workweek to better balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of their children -- while keeping a full paycheck. Federal workers have long enjoyed these benefits.
S. 5: Product Liability Reform Act
The Product Liability Reform Act of 1997 overhauls an unfair and inefficient liability system for the benefit of American consumers and entrepreneurs.
S. 6: Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act
To defend the sanctity of innocent human life, this bill would prohibit a heinous procedure known as partial-birth abortion.
S. 7: National Missile Defense Act
To protect the American people from limited, unauthorized, or accidental ballistic missile attacks, we must build a missile defense system by the year 2003. Today, the United States is defenseless against a real and growing threat of ballistic missile attack.
S. 8: Superfund Cleanup Acceleration Act
This comprehensive Superfund reform corrects the root causes of the waste and delay in the current program. By making these comprehensive changes, this Act will help achieve the original vision of Superfund to protect human health and the environment through common-sense cleanup approaches and quickly allow for the economic development of these blighted areas.
S. 9: Paycheck Protection Act
Only with a worker's express consent should a corporation or labor union take that worker's money and use it for politics.
S. 10: Violent Juvenile Offenders Act
Juveniles must be held personally accountable for their violent crimes, and the federal Government is going to offer additional help to the states.
