Do you have particular political causes to support this new year?

[Tim01]

I figure I can't get everything I want. So I pick particular topics, and work accordingly, as best I can. This year it will again be 2nd amendment rights and the environment. I'm adding gay rights. Although this state is so hostile to gay rights, I think it's like trying to hold back the tide.But I'll do what I can.


What are your causes?

[FLAprogressive]

1. single payer, LGBT rights, 2nd amendment rights, the environment & anti-wall street causes are my

big issues.

2. 2nd Amendment Rights....

Health care, civil rights in general, and the Environment

[shireen]

14. agreed, but i'd call those human rights, not political issues. nt.

I'm done with politics. It is disgusting and sickening.
My causes are social justice issues. Unfortunately, that involves politics. Sigh! No win situation

3. Somehow we have to save our Democracy--start by saving the

Middle Class. No Middle Class-No Democracy.

10. I totoally agree with this, but,

I am losing hope it is possible. If I knew how to do it, I would.

The corporations are firmly in control of the government, and the media. The corporations want all of the money for themselves. I don't actually see how to stop them.

I really did think Obama and his crew were our best hope to get our country back from them. I'm no longer hopeful.

4. Funny that the first three posts in this thread mention both the 2nd amendment AND civil rights

We all know how powerful of a lobby the NRA is. Any chance that Wayne LaPeter and the rest of those jack booted idiots could be thrown out and replaced by a more progressive group?

Picture this - Gun nuts for marriage equality rallies!

7. It could happen....

And we would be their...

[Tim01]

11. That kind of describes me. nt

[Walk away]

5. Stricter gun control laws and health care.

No point in keeping everyone alive so they can shoot each other!

[liberal_at_heart]

6. campaign finance reform and single payer healthcare

[Don Caballero]

8. Much stricter gun control, HCR, leaving Iraq, defeating the Al Qaeda in Af/Pak

DADT reversal, carbon tax etc...

[Progressive Albertan]

9. Climate Change!

In the past month or two I went from being a party hack(NDP) and going after all the issues, to focusing mostly on climate change...so much so I got arrested. The science scares the hell outa me, and it's only going to make every other problem I care about worse.

12. Oh, shit. Be careful. nt

13. the list is too long to put on here.

ending both wars for good is on the top of mine.
