What do you hope to get out of this successful election cycle? |
|
I have several hopes that I think are finally going to be within reach.
1. Legalize gay marriage on a national level. 2. Legalize abortion on a national level. 3. Renewal of more common sense gun control. (ban handguns and assault weapons) 4. Get out of Iraq. Redirect our funding for social aid rather than an oppressive war machine. 5. Start the foundation for getting a Democrat into the whitehouse in 2008. 6. Place common sense regulations to allow migrant workers to become citizens without hassle 7. Place programs in effect to fund Iraq for education rather than war.
I truly think by 2009 we will be headed the right direction. The first time we have been since 2000.

2. Create a workable plan to get out of Iraq, punish the war profiteers. |

Investigate the bush administration, leave no stone unturned.
But for a few days, it will be nice to relax. I feel like I've been walking around with clenched teeth and a whirlwind in my chest for the last 6 years.

I want the whole works. Show them as much mercy as they've shown to others.

And inroads made at least into what you listed, plus indictments, real election reform, and a reversal of some of the really despicable legislation that's been passed by the Repugs.

Lasso up Cowboy George and hang him out to dry! We go straight from the Saddam war crime trial to the GWB war crime trial.
Love it, love it, love it!!!!!
