Sign the Edwards petition to be sent to President Bush...

[Wordie]

the idea is for a WPA-style program, in which the people affected by Katrina would be given jobs to rebuild the city.

<snip>
Under the New America Initiative, our government would provide the victims of this disaster with the skills, materials, and planning they need to resurrect and revitalize their region, and they would in turn have good-paying jobs and the pride of knowing that their futures are in their own hands.

[Justice]

7. It makes so much sense

it will never be enacted.

[AmericanDream]

10. Lol... you're probably right about that one...

[FreedomAngel82]

16. Sadly

:(

[Wordie]

20. Even so, it can add to the pressure on Bush to stop his anti-poor policies

Every little bit counts. If this petition could get TONS of signatures, it couldn't simply be ignored.

[NMDemDist2]

8. kick n/t

[JNelson6563]

9. Done!

Thanks for posting this.

[Wordie]

11. Shamelessly kicking my own post... And note, JRE proposed this BEFORE the

Bush speech of last week...maybe this (and other online efforts) is part of what turned Bush into a momentary (pretend) progressive. SIGN IT!

Yeah, yeah, I know Bush is not a REAL progressive, BUT my hope is that when he talks like one, that will start people thinking, and expecting, progressive programs.

[calimary]

12. Done, signed, recommended, and kicked!

Just think how far along we'd be toward resuscitating New Orleans if he were Vice President now?

Can't help feeling as though this whole mess would have been handled SO much differently...

:cry:

[snappyturtle]

13. Done...thanks! n/t

[Wordie]

14. Please help me keep this kicked AND circulated to other people and sites!

Action is the antidote to feeling depressed about our country!

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Done!

And yes. That's how it should be done. Same with Iraq.

[Wordie]

17. and again...please sign and distribute (and keep kicking)

[nevergiveup]

18. Done with pleasure and passed to several friends

[Wordie]

19. Why thank you. (Ok, this was a sneaky kick.)

[ultraist]

21. Done! n/t

[Wordie]

22. Ok...this is the last time I'll kick this. (Sorry if it's been annoying.)

[dogman]

23. Here's a better idea.

There is already a trained work force and a program to train people properly. These will not be good paying jobs until Bush's rescission of Davis-Bacon is set aside. If this administration follows Edwards' plan you will see young Resmuglican activists running it just like the reconstruction of Iraq.
