What should be the first thing that we press the Democrats to do?

1. Revert to the saved copy of the constitution and bill of rights?
Don't they keep backups of the important documents?

7. Bingo. That's the very first thing
...reverse every unconstitutional policy that has been put in place by the current cabal.

Then we can investigate, prosecute, and imprision.

Okay, we can do both @ the same time :)

8. RE-confirm Governmental alliegence to the Constitution.
Break up media monopolies.

Nationalize the voting "machinery" with paper ballots, make election day a national holiday, and count in public.

Then we can get down to all the rest of the mess we'll have inherited... Like trying to convince the world that we're back.

9. IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Matthews was on a DEM kick today, supportive at that. I was rather shocked but from what they have gathered the DEMS are leading in ALL states and we may even get majority in Congress!!

I am voting Democratic across the board, its a rather desperate move I guess but we can not continue on the road the destructive Repukes have us on.

10. Act like Democrats?
Oh, wait, some of them aren't really. And some (Nelson, Landrieu, Libeberman..fill free to add your list) will keep defending the administration. Don't expect miracles, people. It's not gonna happen.

11. Become Democrats?
They can start with a one-week intensive course: Feingold and Conyers can run the course in the Senate and House, respectively. Topics should include:

- How to stop screwing the Middle Class as a favor to your contributors in the Predator Class
- Your friend, the vertebrae
- The other shapes besides the triangle
- The Constitution: it's the law, and it's really, really important.

18. Get Bush in front of the bright lights and GRILL THE SHIT OUT OF HIM!!!
Edited on Mon Oct-02-06 08:22 PM by TwentyFive
For once in his life, put him against the harsh reality of life. No handlers. No Rove. No Poppy. No battery of lawyers.

Let America see what a dummy he is. Show him to be the complete moron that he is! Force him to resign in disgrace. Prosecute him. Toss him in JAIL!

Related to the Fairness Doctrine...

Media Monopolies are IMO, the biggest reason we are where we are.

22. I Have Another Idea
I have heard that congresspeople barely have any time to read the bills that the Bush admin. wants them to pass, which explains why they have approved so many bad things. I want the Democrats to pass a law that states congresspeople should have enough time to read something before they make a decision on it. If people had enough time, I doubt that the country would be in the mess it's in today.
