What should be the Dems agenda once they control congress? |
|
Millions of us would like to see Bush & Company impeached immediately, but this would mean investigations and executive branch stalling tactics until Bush was no longer in the White House.
It goes without saying that Bush will be using his veto power a lot over the next two years. However, the Democrats should still lay a truckload of popular bills before him. No matter how hard the thugs try to spin the vetoes, I believe that their lack of caring about average Americans will become apparent to all but the dumbest dittoheads.
Undoing the damage done to our country will take decades, but if you had your pick of, say, three things that Dems should focus on first, what would they be? Here are mine:
1.) Get our troops out of the killing fields of Iraq as quickly as possible.
2.)Get rid of black-box voting and replace it with a system that leaves a paper trail. And pass laws against all the voter scam tactics the thugs have been using for years.
3.) Roll back the tax breaks for the extremely wealthy and get the country back on a firm financial footing.
I have a thousand more issues, but these are my top three. What are yours?

1. Raise the minumum wage! Workers should not be indentured servants |
|
and that is what happens to people who have to try to survive on the wage the GOP Congress has let stand while they gave themselves raise after raise.
