The Democratic party is taking Public Testimony until June 18th on the policy platform we want. -- Be respectful. Avoid stating which candidate you want. Simply state your candidates platform instead.
* Single-payer Healthcare.
* Income equality for women.
* Fighting for a 15 dollar living wage.
* Campaign reform with real teeth.
* Reinstate Glass-Stegall and implement real reform of Wall Street
* Remove corporate influence on the Democrat Party.
* Remove corporate influence on our government.
* Fighting against income and wealth inequality.
* Racial Justice and an end to racial profiling.
* a fair and humane Immigration policy
* Equal rights for all couples regardless of preference.
* Higher education as a right; not a privilege.
* Diplomacy first, diplomacy always, and war only as a last resort when directly attacked.
I'm sure I missed others. Feel free to add what I've missed.
"For my part; I will be finishing my pre-typed testimony by stating unequivocally that I cannot support, or vote for, anything less. That 3rd Way policy is how we got here. That 3rd Way policy is not the answer to the problems it has helped create." -Michael McCollough
