What Do You Want From Your Democrats?
I want them to:

Push for total transparency in the matter of campaign donations. We should know what industries support whom and to the tune of what dollars. Everything I donate is logged and tracked, why not much more massive amounts?

Continue to reform Wall Street. There needs to be much more transparency there too.

Deal with the home loan and foreclosure fraud properly. They've seriously fallen down on this one.

Stop health insurance companies from gouging people with high premium increases. Lay a foundation and framework for a move to a universal health care system.

1. Spinal transplant and resolve to have Democrats on TV explaining
what they are doing, where they are on legislation,
what is in and what is not in legislation.

2. Put Howard Dean back in charge and do what he says.

He 'got' it. This crew doesn't. A little LEADERSHIP would not be out of order. A golden opportunity has been spoiled and wasted. "It's only been x# months?" Really? How many did we think we'd have? The 'whiners' were freaking right all a freaking long.

and a grip strong enough to hold onto opportunities without letting them pass through their fingers like so much water.

On Edit: Oh! ... and a sizable pair of cajones would go a long way too!

5. I want a job.
And, one that pays enough that I can live on it, and restore my life's savings. I want that for everyone else who is in my shoes, too.
