Kerry would have a "winner" with this domestic plan
Produce good-paying jobs by:

1. initiating an American War on Failing Infrastructure. (we all know what that includes...building, renovating, securing bridges, highways, railways, trailways, bikeways, waterways, national standard public ground transportation systems linked with current technology for security and safety for all major urban and rural cities).

2. Taking half the military budget and using it for developing alternative sources of energy in the name of national defense.

3. Ban the development and use of mini-nukes.

4. Honor and abide by international law and join and support the World Court.

5. Honor and abide by ALL UN resolutions for peace including those that Israel continues to ignore and violate.

6. Better regulate the banking industry to keep them from eating up the little savings of working families through usuary fees and charges.

7. Reduce the threshold for deducting medical expenses on income tax filings for families of three or more with household incomes of less than $40,000 per annum.

8. Remove all US military installations from Arab lands except those whose citizens really really want them there.

9. Effectively prosecute ALL corporate criminals as Federal law breakers.

10. Remove the embargo and sanctions against Cuba and begin trading and helping to re-build the country to overcome the infrastructure problems resulting from the US embargo.

11. Develop a true medical service corps to give excellent medical care to indigent US citizens allowing medical students to pay off medical school costs by dedicating 3 years to public medical service in the inner cities, rural communities, and VA hospitals.

5. Lottie,
you seriously should send this to the Kerry campaign. This is the kind of stuff that he needs to be emphasizing. This is what people need to hear. It will get people out to support him in droves.

You are fantastic!!!

4. Nothing at all about poverty issues? Nevermind the seniors and disabled
being cut from housing?

Avert your eyes to homeless people?

Can *anyone* explain why the DEMs have so completely abandoned the issues that made them the Great Party they *USED* to be?

Has everyone become too affluent, and won't get their eyes open to others until they finally end up down on the bottom?

Is that what it's going to take? If so, maybe another Great Depression is long overdue.....

7. Well, you have to remember, it's all our fault...
We don't any of us vote, donchaknow, so we don't deserve any "special consideration". We don't get involved politically, donchaknow, so we deserve to be ignored.

I'm finally so angry that I have come to the conclusion that we need one hell of a big implosion in this country. When all these judgmental dems find themselves on the street, going through the garbage trying to find parts of a meal, maybe THEN their hearts will grow back.

Yeah, I'm pissed!

The party died........
