Ideas for a Democratic agenda for all Americans?

[pinto]

Primary jockeying and internal wedge issues aside, what are the broadest agenda items we, as a party, can put before the electorate in answer to the (R) administration? i.e What are our strongest points we need to communicate for the next election?

1. My agenda and how we get it.

I seek volunteers in NY, CAL, FLA, TX, Kentucky to begin an attack on GOP contributing companies.


First, get as many people as you can to send this letter to the GOP.

Do you want to destroy the hold that corporations have over congress and the president? Simple. Organize and Demand progressive legislation from some of these corporations and do not buy from them until they get the GOP to get congress to enact this legislation.

If you want to put an end to the Republiklan party, then

Send this letter to the Republican party now! Also put this on your web page so others can see it.

Copy and paste the letter below and email it directly to [e-mail] the Republican Party and get 2 friends to send this letter and have those 2 friends get 2 friends to send it and so on. Thank you. Drop me a message to [e-mail] with the subject Done after you have sent the email.

Hello

Get your Republican party to end the war in Iraq, with Bush and Cheney resigning, and until you do we stop buying televisions, refrigerators, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, dvd players, stereo equipment, light bulbs from one of your party's major contributors and War contractors General Electric Corporation ( 203 373 2211 ) who cannot afford to lose a large sector of the publics business and money.

Get your Republican party to remove the FICA taxable income cap and tax all of a person's income for social security purposes and enact HR 676 Single payer universal health care into law and repeal Medicare Part D and place the prescription drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80 percent of all medication with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and completely remove the means test to Medicare Part B and until you do, we will not buy consumer products and prescription drugs from one of the biggest pharmacy chains and GOP contributors in the country, Rite Aid, who cannot afford to lose a large sector of the publics business and money.

Get your Republican party to enact a $10 an hour minimum wage, and until you do, we will not go to the following restaurants and GOP contributors Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Dominos Pizza who cannot afford to lose a large sector of the publics business and money.

Get your Republican party to enact into law Universal vote by mail with paper ballots counted by civil servants with civil servants registering voters and keeping track of registrations, and until you do, we will not buy any GOP contributor Dell computers or monitors or go to the following restaurants and GOP contributors Wendy's, Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Dominos Pizza who cannot afford to lose a large sector of the publics business and money.

Get your Republican party to get congress to pass and enact a law legalizing abortions from conception to six months, and to nine months when the life of the mother appears threatened, and until you do we stop doing business with two of your biggest contributors Dominos Pizza and Curves for Women Health Clubs.

Signed,



Second, get as many people to make these phone calls.


Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.


For the cost of a telegram send your congressman, Senator or Mr. Bush a real message to get out of Iraq now. If they receive one of these they won't soon forget your message. It costs as much as a telegram to send this message and unlike a telegram they will not soon throw it out.

Call Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until you do, we won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.


You don't have to sit and get angry over this too company friendly government. Attack the companies that fund the GOP and conservative Democrats.

CUT OFF THEIR MONEY. Tell people to call write and email.

2. end war paper ballots environment global warming universal single payer health care affordable edu

and crack down on employers that don't accurately document worker's legal status with regards to working in the US

Have you been taking typing enhancers?

Welcome to the DU!

9. "no steroids in baseball"?

That's like the man whose house is on fire going "Do you know where I can get a good haircut?"

Who gives a shit about baseball, much less whether or not the overpaid practicioners of the sport are on steroids?

Still, I s'pose it's slightly more relevant than flag burning or porn in video games. Maybe.

We must travel in different circles, you and I. I agree about the other two, though. :hi:

Welcome to DU.

4. The Republican Party is a Clear and Present Danger.

[pinto]

5. They sure are.

[rucky]

6. Universal healthcare.

Iraq withdrawl (stress the economic reasons)!
Energy Policy (alternatives to the almighty oil)
Immigration: Enforcing existing laws on illegal EMPLOYERS (that's the winning facet of an otherwise no-win issue).

That's about it. No need to get any more complicated than that.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Environment. Single Payer Health Care. Civil Liberties. Livable Min. Wage.

Unapologetic support for reproductive Choice. Full Equality for our GLBT brothers and sisters, including marriage rights. Respect for the Separation of Church and State. Standing up for the right of consenting adults to control their own bodies, bedrooms and bloodstreams.

10. Good points. Kick.
