If there's anything to call Pelosi's office and demand action for, it's not impeachment
Edited on Tue Jul-24-07 06:13 PM by brentspeak
It's for issues like "free" trade, corporate monopolies, and a national health care system.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I am not seeing much action in Congress on the topics of repealing or even just modifying NAFTA, CAFTA, China's "most-favored-nation trading status", and all the other bogus "free trade" agreements in general. I'm not seeing members of Congress standing in front of the Capital Hill steps to demand that U.S.-based manufacturing be reinvigorated, that Main Street USA be reinvigorated, that corporate monopolies like News Corp. and the various Mall-Wart conglomerations be subject to a new round of modern-day "trust-busting" legislation (can't call them "trusts" today, but the moniker is useful).

What is going on -- or not going on -- in Pelosi's office to address these vital, bread-and-butter issues? And I would urge people to call their local Congress-critters to demand action from their end.

1. The NAFTA CAFTA agreements are killing this Nation.
Without the Middle-Class, we are over. I think it doesn't get the attention it deserves, due to the fact that it's a slow death. Takes a damn long time before the dumb folks can see what's happening. Our Nation is quite stupid.

2. When it was reported Hillary was on Walmart's board
The Walmart protests suddenly fell off the front burner. Hmmm.

I think you won't hear anything on trade from the Democratic Party as long as she is the frontrunner.

This is what we're willing to be smeared for the next 8 years for.

4. Ever feel like your surrounded by stupid people?
Case in point, This thread sinking like a freaken rock. As far as I know the only people running for President that have stated they do Not support Nafta this cycle are Kucinich and Ron Paul. Am I wrong? Please Please let me know.

5. It bothers me that important bread-and-butter issues get largely ignored on DU.
I'm glad that at least a few people here give a darn. :thumbsup:
