1. ....
Out of Iraq.
No more tax cuts for the wealthy.
Environmental agendas back on track.
No more spying on the citizenry.
No more secrecy.
No more election theft.
Make outsourcing illegal.
Make alternative energy issue #1.


Just for starters.

4. 360 degree turn from what

8. Remind him of his real functions under the Constitution
And if he still refuses to do what he's required by law and the Constitution to do, impeach him and remove him from office, then send him to criminal trial for his actions while President. No playing games like they did after Watergate or Iran-Contra.

5. Lots of Rs: Repeal their agenda, repudiate their actions internationally
Regain our reputation, regain the trust of the world, remedy the decline in our social support, reinstitute the doctrines that made public discourse fair .... so much more ....

7. We start by cutting all funding for the fiasco in Iraq.
Then we begin the hearings on the lies that took us to this unjust occupation of Iraq.
Then we outlaw Black Box Voting
Then we undo the TAX cuts for the Rich.
Then we undo back the Bankruptcy screw job on the public.
Then we institute Universal health care.
Then we investigate and imprison all war profiteers.
Then we quit giving tax breaks to companies to send our jobs overseas.
Then we put tariffs on all goods made by wage slave labor.
Then we institute Public Financing of elections.
Then we strip corporations of any 'Human Rights'.
Then we elect a Democrat to the White House in 08.

That will do for a start.

9. More fights
Over the nature of the Democratic agenda. We have to keep both eyes open into any Democratic administration.

Hopefully, if anyone is interested, we can begin a national dialogue on the capitalist system itself. Can it be changed? Should America, and the World, consider an entirely different economic system? If so, which?

11. We Restore the 'Democratic Contract For America' ....
We put back into place what worked for 70 years: New Deal Policies that protect the poor and ennoble them, and our society in whole, by educating them, and allowing them to therefore grow into successful citizens in a free state that TRULY respects freedom ......

Public Education is the key to improving the lot of the common citizen; whether through job training, or reasonable college tuition funding, and including food stamps when people are hungry, viable child care options that provide the opportunity for poor parents to reach higher and acheive higher ... Rental assistance if needed, maintenance of Social Security as it was designed ... support of workplace rules that protect working men and women from danger and exploitation .... reinstatement of PUCHA rules ... etc etc ....

Really .. this isnt hard ...

I have to LAUGH when Repukes say 'Democrats Have No Plan' ....

BULLSHIT: We had a plan that WORKED for 70 FUCKING YEARS .... and YOU said you would destroy it, and you DID .....

We have a plan:

New Deal-Great Society Government .....

13. Rededicate to the Geneva conventions, for starters..
Rededicate our Country to the Bill of Rights, and state LOUDLY that no one is "above" the law.

14. Good question...
The Repubs will attempt to block everything. Plan on it. The first 2 years should be used to educate the public about how the Republicans are preventing us from fixing the problems they made so bad in the last 10 years. The Repubs are blocking progress! Run against them as obstructionists two years from now - when the battle for the WH begins.
