14. My agenda for America and a way you can force congress to enact it.

A progressive agenda for America.




I demand that the Republican Party hold a press
conference and accede to these demands. Until such a
press conference happens and the legislation and/or
actions gets passed I will boycott products from
Republican contributors Dell Computers, Walmart,
Wendy's, Outback Steak House, Dominos Pizza,
Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens,
Curves for women health clubs, General Electric and
Exxon/Mobil.



I demand that congress pass legislation ending the war in
Iraq and withdraw the troops and arrange with the
United Nations to replace US troops with UN troops to
defend Iraq until The Iraqi army can defend Iraq.



I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and
hateful action to end a woman's right to choose
abortion or not.



I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and
hateful action to harrass immigrants to this country.



I demand that the Congress of the United states and the
president of the United States enact a law to increase
the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to
extend unemployment benefits to a year or more for all
people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6
months even though they still seek work.



I demand that the Congress of the United States to not
privatize social security benefits in any form
including taking a percentage of the social security tax
and placing it in private accounts. People can
already create their own pensions with money after
taxes in the private sector.



I demand that the congress make all of a person's earned
income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes
and remove the 88,000 dollar taxable income limit. This
will make social security solvent for many years to
come.



I demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to
make social security solvent as well.



I demand congress and the president enact a prescription
drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80
percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no
extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps,
and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year.



I demand congress repeal the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1
passed by congress in Nov 2003 which includes repealing the means
test for Medicare Part B.




I demand the congress roll back the Medicare Part B monthly
premium to 78 dollars a month.




I demand congress enact single payer universal health
insurance for every citizen as minimum coverage.



I demand that congress and the president enact universal
vote by mail throughout the 50 states of the United
States of America with paper ballots easy to fill out
and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican
Party officials. This will prevent Republicans from
vote suppression by skin color and political party
which happened electronically and in person in the 2000
and 2004 elections.



I demand that congress and the president enact that civil
servants on every state payroll keep track of voter
registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in
each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We
need to take the Republican Party out of the business
of keeping track of voter registration and counting
votes.



I demand that congress and the president ban the secretary
of state in each of the 50 states from engaging in
politics especially acting as a campaign official for a
presidential campaign.



I demand congress enact legislation protecting private
pensions from corporations deliberately declaring
bankruptcy or ending pensions outright.

< Dominos Pizza claims that they no longer associate with the Republican Party and the antiabortion movement but the new CEO David Brandon, a high level Republican almost ran for the senate in Michigan as a Republican and their company PACs gave money to the Republican Party. Ignore their text about the former CEO. The current Dominos Pizza CEO David Brandon also opposes raising the minimum wage and on that issue alone should give you reason to boycott Dominos Pizza. >

17. Important, but Whistleblower Protection may need to come first.

[muntrv]

2. Bring back habeas corpus.

[pstans]

3. Get rid of Free Trade Agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA

and bring good paying jobs back to the United States.

[pstans]

10. Simple one here...Uphold the Constitution

Listening to Mike Malloy and he is saying all Democrats need to do is uphold the Constitution.

[Nictuku]

4. Reject Presidential Signing Statements

Reject Presidential Signing Statements

[On Par]

5. Mandatory Voter Verified Paper Trails.

I'm sure Burns and Allen would back it if they were still employed by the Federal Gov't.

[Lancer]

6. Fix Medicare n/t

[lancdem]

7. Raise the minimum wage

asap

[Glib Acumen]

Stop murdering people in Asia

Democrats need to stop murdering hundreds of thousands of people in Asia.

[itsmesgd]

8. for a start...

TROOPS HOME NOW.
Health Insurance for All.
Minimum wage increase.
Lobbist reformation.
Military Detention Bill revocation.
Patriot Act reversal.
Real ID Act reversal.
Free Leonard Peltier now!!!

[Nictuku]

11. Amen!

[Cleetus]

9. Impeach the bastard (nt)

[NEDem]

12. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

[TygrBright]

13. Here's 10 to be going on with...

1. Restore habeas corpus
2. Election reform and redistricting reform
3. Overturn the "Patriot" Act and set some REAL national security priorities, including port security and security for chemical plants and critical infrastructure installations like water and power and communications. And FUND THEM with cash pulled out of the pork-bloated no-bid contracts and sweetheart deals for war profiteers.
4. Investigate those same war profiteers and the elected scoundrels who enabled them.
5. Repeal tax giveaways to the wealthiest 1/10th of one percent of Americans, and investigate the IRS's auditing and enforcement of corporate income tax collection. Eliminate or reform the Alternative Minimum Tax.
6. Set some meaningful rules that REQUIRE two-party participation in the legislative process and put teeth into enforcing ethics violations.
7. Challenge "signing statements" and demand a Supreme Court ruling thereon. If the Supremes wimp out, pass a Constitutional Amendment outlawing "signing statements."
8. Break up communications/media monopolies with new rules limiting ownership per market, and investigate the FCC's enforcement of all existing rules. Strongly recommend the FCC re-institute the Fairness Doctrine or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
9. Investigate the Dept. of the Interior's shameless giveaways of publicly-owned resources to rapacious corporate polluters.
10. Pass a meaningful minimum wage.

Those will do for a start. Other stuff can be added as we head into the 2008 cycle, depending on how these sort out.

reiteratively,
Bright

15. Repeal the damned cuts to Medicaid, before more people die needlessly!

I realize poor folk aren't a popular cause, but, really, can we please start caring just a bit?

[Nictuku]

16. What kind of civilized..

What kind of civilized society doesn't care for their sick and elderly?

[bobbolink]

21. You're so right... the US has NO claim to being "civilized"!!

But.... I sure don't notice Dems going out of their way to change that!

:mad:

Thanks for your note!

[Nictuku]

18. But does anyone agree..

.. that we need to make Whistleblower protection a top priority?

[Kelvin Mace]

19. 1) Restore habeus corpus immediately

2) Launch a REAL investigation into 9/11

3) Repeal ALL Bush signing statements. Introduce legislation prohibiting them in the future.

4) Dismantle Homeland Security.

5) Establish real security at our ports and SANE rules for air travel

6) Sign Kyoto Treaty

7) Launch investigation into war in Iraq, Dick Cheney's ties to Big Oil and Haliburton, illegal wiretaps, and violations of the Geneva Convention and other war crimes.

8) Begin withdrawing US troops from Iraq and pass emergency funding bill for troops health care.

9) Declare a national security emergency over US energy policy and divert 10% of the defense budget to alternative energy programs. Establish tax credits for energy R&D and green taxes on consumption. Establish tax credits for green building construction, and mandate that new construction must provide 10% of its own energy (from renewable sources) starting in 2008; rising to 15% in 2012, 20% in 2020, 25% in 2030, 30% in 2040, and 50% by 2076.

10) Raise minimum wage, enact public financing of elections, outlaw paperless voting, and establish a NATIONAL voting system.

[Nictuku]

20. That would be a Yes!

Every single point.

But I'd want to slip Whistleblower Protection way at the top. It has been terribly eroded.
