GET YOUR CORPORATE HANDS OFF MY GOVERNMENT

[a simple pattern]

I am a Democrat and these are the things I want:

no torture, no enhanced interrogation, no rendition
dismantle the prison industrial complex
mandatory labeling of gmo foods
end the war on drugs
end the wars in afghanistan and iraq
cut the military budget by about half
protect our fresh water from fracking
invest in clean energy
(coal and nukes are not clean energy)
end big oil subsidies
end big corn subsidies
corporations are not people
restore the fourth amendment
overturn citizens united
end the patriot act
end the bush tax cuts
repeal the hyde amendment
restore our public schools
repair our infrastructure
get rid of insider voting machines
quit stealing peoples' homes
quit offshoring peoples' jobs
break up the corporate media conglomerate
regulate wall street
regulate the regulators of wall street
tax wall street's transactions
leave social security alone
outlaw commodities speculation
check the power of the supreme court
make corporations pay their taxes or gtfo
stop corporations from killing citizens
restore the social safety net
single-payer healthcare
equal rights for all in the eyes of the law
stop prosecuting whistleblowers

Basically I want to not be stolen from, poisoned, lied to, silenced or enslaved.
So I can, you know, live, be free and pursue a little bit of happiness.
So I can be a productive citizen (not a consumer but a citizen) of a free and great society.

Your corporate rights end where my human rights begin.

What do you guys think? Are these things in line with Democratic values, or is it me & Bernie against the world?

Thanks for reminding us what it used to be.

4. That, I said to myself..

Is going to leave one hell of a mark.

5. Yeah, it is, isn't it. This should be plastered all over the place as the

2012 democratic platform. I bet the votes for dems would surge.

Love the list. Of course, we'll here the same list in the running up to 2012, but implementation afterwards....????

7. Thanks!

I'll certainly vote for Good Cop rather than Insane Cop. I do admire his pokerface, maybe he's got some aces up his sleeve.
