Carol Moseley-Braun:
Fund reverse-commuting for distressed suburbs
The Reverse Commuting Program that I authored in 1996 along with Sen. Carol Mosley Braun (D, IL) ensures that people who live in reclamation and distressed areas have opportunity to get where economic opportunity currently resides. Too many mass-transit
commuter routes are designed only to bring people from a metropolitan area into the urban business district. But in many cases, jobs for low-skill workers have migrated to the suburban ring around the city. Unlike suburbanites, most of the urban poor do
not have cars. Without some means of transportation, these jobs are literally out of reach. Federal reverse-commuting dollars help subsidize routes from reclamation areas to suburban job centers. And slowly, the economic benefits of that neighborhood may
begin to seep into that reclamation area next door; if not, then economic incentives will result in residents leaving the reclamation area. Then, building on the base of the transitioning-up neighborhood, you begin to gut and rebuild the worse-off area.

Hillary Clinton:
$90M grant for Children and Media Research
One of the roles that government is uniquely capable of playing is providing parents with research on the pop culture industry. I am a strong advocate of federal investment in research regarding the impact on media content on children in particular.
I stood with Sens. Brownback, Lieberman and Clinton to introduce a $90 million federal grant program to support research into the effects of viewing and using all types of media--including
TV, computer games, and the Internet--on children's physical and psychological development, The Children and Media Research Advancement (CAMRA)
Act would establish research into the role of media on the development of children from infancy through adolescence.There have been thousands of studies investigating the impact of media violence on kids, but little in the area of sexually explicit me

Rick Santorum:
Good culture tells the truth, even if not G-Rated
It's probably a fair criticism of us conservatives that we know what we don't like in the arts. My family will be quick to tell you that I do not frequent art museums but I do appreciate the influence that the arts have.I am not going to tell you that
good culture is made up only of paintings of pastoral scenes or finely crafted, life-like portraits, G-rated movies, & books without any sex or violence.
GOOD CULTURE tells us about life as it really is--it tells the truth. To uses the title of a great
Clint Eastwood film, it tells us about "the good, the bad, and the ugly." It illuminates the truth about the human predicament and our human destiny. And that is not always very pretty. "Braveheart" is a healthy addition to our culture.
But for every "Braveheart," Hollywood seems intent on turning out a dozen films featuring an antihero, a tortured soul fighting his own demons and doing hardly anyone any good at all.

Rick Santorum:
Make "airplane" edited movie versions with advisory labels
The Recording Industry Association of America, prodded by the FTC, now stickers music CDs with "parental advisory" labels if they contain content inappropriate for children. I view such stickers as a red light for my kids. The answer is simple if they
were to ask about a CD with that sticker: "No."There are a number of technical tools available to parents. The industry, however, has responded to these new technological aids with lawsuits and other threats. Rather than trying to take away tools from
parents who want to let their kids watch movies (would they rather we just say "No" completely?), the industry should be working with parents to make available to us the "airplane" edited version of their films. A recent poll found that almost
three out of four respondents would purchase or rent an airplane-edited version of certain films that they would otherwise choose not to watch at all. Making these films available would be in the economic interest of the industry.
