Included in House Democrats' first 100 legislative hours are:

• Draining the swamp: Break the link between lobbyists and legislation and commit to pay-as-you-go budgeting, no new deficit spending

• Making America more secure: Implement the independent 9/11 Commission recommendations

• Giving Americans a raise: Increase the minimum wage

• Making college more affordable: Cut the interest rate in half on federally subsidized student loans

• Making health care more affordable: Negotiate for lower prescription-drug prices

• Ending subsidies for Big Oil

• Giving hope to families with devastating diseases: Allow stem-cell research
