Sarah Steelman for U.S. Senate's Interests
|
| General | Investing in Our Country: Fighting Terrorism From the Heartland: Sarah Steelman has led the nation in terror-free investing, with many states and the U.S. Congress following her example. In her first months in office(as State Treasurer), she cut off money to terrorism, and implemented policies to protect Missouri's investments from terror-tied risks. She Created the nation's first terror-free fund, won approval for the nation's first terror-screening measure, and has made Missouri the only state in the country to offer terror-free investment options. | | Music | Investing In Our State: Growing Missouri's Economy: Since taking office as treasurer, Sarah has returned over $1 billion to Missouri and put it to work with the people of our state. For the first time in state history, Treasurer Steelman established programs that include Missouri first policies and community reinvestment priorities in the placement of Missouri investments. Her responsibilities as treasurer include overseeing the return of unclaimed money to the citizens. For the past two years, record amounts of money were returned to rightful owners, over $76 million to Missourians! | | Movies | Investing In Our FUTURE: Getting Our Kids to College: Sarah serves as chairman of the state's Higher Education Savings Board, which administers MOST---Missouri's 529 College Savings Plan. This plan helps citizens save for their children's college education through a tax-advantaged investment program. Sarah overhauled the MOST plan by lowering costs and providing expanded and enhanced investment options. MONEY magazing recently recognized the new MOST as one of the nations' best college savings plans. MOST now has over 100,000 participants with over $1.2 billion in savings growing for the future of Missouri's kids. Through an innovative rewards network, all Missouri families can now earn college savings through their everyday purchases at no extra cost to them. | | Television | 100% Pro-Life: As senator, Sarah carried a perfect pro-life voting record and was endorsed by Missouri Right to Life. She sponsored legislation to create funding for abortion alternatives, tax credits for contributions to pregnancy resource centers, and the Adoption Awareness Law. She was also the sponsor of Missouri's Marriage Amendment to our Constitution. She sponsored the bill to require phonics instruction, and the bills requiring the Pledge of Allegiance and observance of Veteran's Day in our schools, and cosponsored Conceal and Carry. | | Books | From the beginning of her career, Sarah has understood the problems and fought for the kind of changes we need to make healthe care work for Missouri. She has championed market-based solutions for families, including tax credits for insurance premiums. And she has brought about innovative reforms to get tough on health care abuses--her Infection Control Act of 2004, which still receives accolades from around the country, her protections against elderly abuse and help for seniors with prescription drugs are just a few examples. | | Heroes | Sarah has always understood that to be an elected official is to be a public servant. While a State Senator she sponsored legislation to eliminate legislative pensions, to reject legislative salary increases, and was the leader on many successful efforts to make government more transparent and accountable. She led the fight against the tobacco settlement, and her filibuster of the proposed taxpayer subsidy of the Cardinals stadium pitted her against powerful interests--but she stood her ground and prevailed. Sarah has always fought for the people. She always will. |
