1. Excellent, thanks...put it out there, I did. I was wondering if he would take the

traditional 12 steps and make a fun use of them in relation to this country and what we need.

1. We admitted we were powerless over oligarchs—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a power within ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to anybody or anything but the repub/teaparty.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the rightwing assholes destroying all life on the planet.

5. Admitted to our barista, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have said barista remove all these defects of character.

I am getting tire, anyone want to finish?

Growing the Trade Union Movement

Raising the Minimum Wage

Making College Affordable for All

Taking on Wall Street

Health Care as a Right for All

5. Yes but not the following or money...

of a Clinton or Bush. While he makes progressive hearts flutter he doesn't connect with average dems, which is a shame.

9. he doesn't have a chance in our system.

that's why our system is the way it is....so people like him don't have a chance.

6. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch!

10. Good ideas. If we could only do 1/2 or even 1/3 of them, the most basic ones, we would be

a much healthier, happier, more secure and richer nation.
