DES MOINES - Obama for America released a new video today featuring Vice President Joe Biden discussing how he and President Obama work every day to provide people with dignified opportunity to care for themselves and their families.
Since day one, President Obama and Vice President Biden have advanced policies and programs that help American families, working in partnership with faith-based and community organizations, including Catholic non-profits like Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services, to serve those in need. From fighting for health insurance reform so no family has to go bankrupt just because a family member gets sick, to supporting tax reform in which everyone pays their fair share, to ensuring every child has access to a good education, President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that we are our brothers and sisters' keepers. They strongly believe that looking out for all Americans is part of what defines us as a nation.
And as Vice President Biden made clear during the Vice Presidential debate, both he and President Obama believe there is no conflict between standing up for women's health and respecting religious liberty, and they are committed to upholding both principles. Meanwhile, Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan are wrong to use this core constitutional principle as a political football. Religious liberty is not a Democratic or Republican idea - it's an American idea, and it always has been.
