Reply #207: sure, anyone else want to toss some out too?

[peaceandjustice]

Dick Gephardt: An ROTC-modeled teaching corps to provide college funding for future teachers, an international minimum wage, and expansion of pensions.

Howard Dean: negotiating trade agreements that create quality-of-life in the third world under threat of withdrawal, a balanced budget (over 80% of savings bonds are bought by the wealthiest 2% so most of the interest on our debt and deficit lines their pockets) funding federal education mandates and reducing reliance on standardized testing (the company that produces most of the tests is a major Bush donor btw)

John Kerry: an energy plan that would create possibly as many as 500,000 good-paying jobs, increased federal contracting for small/peripheral businesses, expanding early childhood education

John Edwards: universal college education, eliminate tax breaks for CEO pay, proscecute insider trading (the sort of trading that has in part led to 85% of stocks being held by 1% of Americans)


This list is by absolutely no means extensive.
