What talking points should dems repeat until every American knows?
I'm not talking about tactical issues like getting out of Iraq or having real elections, but the core values everyone should know we stand for.

Here's my shot:

Every American deserves access to:

a good education

affordable health care

a job that pays enough to support their family

fair taxes, so they know the rich and corporations are paying their fair share.

renewable energy that we don't pay for with the blood of our children or pays a dividend of the hatred of other countries.

2. This administration can't be trusted
They have lied to you about everything: Iraq, terrorism, the economy, jobs, education and healthcare.

3. JOB SHORTAGE is 14 million : 6 more below
Edited on Sat Jul-23-05 12:47 PM by oscar111
Paper ballots, hand counted {as in Canada}

wages lower now than when Reaganomics began.. adjusted for inflation. Toss reaganomics. It's garbage.

25 nations outlive us {all have nationalized healthcare}

WPA harnesses labor now unharnessed: so it doesnt cost, it pays {works progress administration was an FDR program that created gov jobs}. Revived, it can END joblessness. Totally.

Privatization leads to lack of control, ripoffs, shabby work. Costs more, to add in fat profits. Creates another person interested in bribing officials, and able to do so.

GOP goal is Mexico: Dem goal is Canada.

PS on Job Shortage, see sig below

4. PAPER BALLOTS HAND COUNTED as in Canada

without it, nothing else matters.

7. I agree. that's fixing the process. most people are apathetic because
they don't think the results will help them even when the process "works."

6. The only way the GOP can govern is with war and fear, therefor
they are fundamentally problem creators not problem solvers.

12. "Throw the bums out" Let's get back on the path of progress...
Pro science, pro education, pro alternate energy research. Funding progress with govt. money creates jobs.
Paint 'them' as the doom and gloom party.
