During this Congress, we have the duty to work for a prosperity that is broadly shared, to strengthen domestic programs vital to our country, and to answer every danger that threatens the American people. In his 2003 State of the Union Address, the President proposed bold steps to address these challenges at home and abroad - confident that America will meet these tests. The President set forth the following domestic goals for Congress and our Nation to address this year:

Grow the Economy and Create Jobs
Strengthen and Improve Health Care
Promote Energy Independence While Improving the Environment
Encourage Acts of Compassion
