The Democratic Party
-----------------------
When Representative Paul Ryan agreed to become the next
Speaker of the House, he made one thing very clear: That he
would prioritize time with his family even as he assumed
this new position. And Samuel, that got me to thinking about
how very important family is -- and how far behind our
country is when it comes to supporting choices like that of
Paul Ryan.

With our current policies, the United States ranks among the
lowest in the world on paid leave -- according to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, only 12 percent of American
private-sector workers have access to paid family leave
through their employers. As the President noted during his
2015 State of the Union address, "We are the only advanced
country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick leave or
paid maternity leave to our workers."

And because of that, we put working parents in the position
of choosing between staying at home with a sick child and
keeping their job. While folks like Paul Ryan are afforded
the choice to spend time with their families, the vast
majority of Americans are not. This is clearly unacceptable
-- and it's time for a change.

As Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan has a valuable
opportunity to help make that change happen. If you agree
that more Americans deserve the chance to put family first,
add your name to tell Paul Ryan to make his first act as
Speaker calling a vote to expand paid family leave:

Thank you so much, Samuel.

All the best,
