Some Thoughtfull and Brief Words from Maui
Edited on Wed Sep-05-07 12:22 AM by The Sushi Bandit
We must clear the table first NOW... Impeach the administration fully and jail those who Lied, Cheated and Stole from the US

We must level the table... public financing of elections

We must clean the table... expel ALL lobby and interest groups

We must lay a new table cloth... Term Limits!

We must set the table... pass laws that completely opens government processes to all. Eliminate secrecy at all levels

Only then can we serve Dinner... single payer health care for all, end treaties like WTO and NAFTA... stop funding other countries regimes and armies.. revise and re-invigorate our checks and balances, etc.

6. A cleaner table won't need a table cloth
The reason I'm leery of the table cloth is that the notion was distilled in the GOP Whinery, vintage 1994. These cloths are not to be trusted to protect more than they cover up. The Constitutional "term limits" (elections) can serve just fine for a clean table.

And the cleanest, most level table comes from the briefest of words: NO Corporate Participation

We need to stop choking on the same old chicken bone that Hillary has been the latest to publicly cough up: "corporations that employ = real Americans."

Sorry, but all "interest groups" are not the same. Unions ARE NOT Corporations/Businesses. One represents people the other does not. Nope, not even "indirectly" -- the people they employ are cost of goods sold and the stockholders are transient partners -- neither have a claim to "representation" in our political process. No place at all. No participation.

But yes, we must clear the table first.

Impeach now. Let the chips fall where they may.
