Dems: Repeal NAFTA and FT, Outlaw Corporate Personhood, Ban FT reimportation...

[Union Yes]

set a withdrawal timetable for bringing our troops home from the Afghan War.

Make job creation and ending war a front and center priority.

Make the above the Democrat's 'Contract With America' but don't wait for the Nov'10 election, start acting on these issues now.

Bring our jobs, bring our troops home.

Appealing to populism is a sure bet and an election winner.

Quit trying to be the party of tomorrow and start fixing what is broken, TODAY!

Imagine if Coakley ran on the above.

1. Agreed. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. Would the name "Contract FOR America" be too cheesy?

This definitely should be the platform. Along with REAL health care reform (i.e. medicare for all - and call it exactly that, because the "single payer" name was somehow grossly misinterpreted by "middle America".

[FreakinDJ]

6. How about - "Decade of the American Working Class"

I kinda like the ring to it

[mikita]

3. and as Bill Blum would say,

accomplish this in the first four days, and be assassinated on the fifth! :evilgrin:

[Patchuli]

4. Yup, time for the changes promised

if he even wants a prayer of a chance of re-election.

[lunasun]

5. I would vote for you for congress OP !

[Union Yes]

8. I just wish the people who were running would start adopting a similar campaign theme.

I'd think their popularity would skyrocket.

Jobs will be a front burner issue that brings people to the polls in Nov.

Dems need to learn to grasp hold of populist ideas and watch their support and popularity surge. I just wish our party leaders would open their eyes.

Welcome to DU.


:hi:

[pnorman]

7. Accomplish all that by Signing Statements????

n/t

[BadgerKid]

9. Rather, invoke "national security"

under the Patriot Act. Problem is, the GOP would just return the favor at next opportunity.

[Union Yes]

10. Good point, but the GOP will return the favor anyway.

My point, when Dems learn to return favors, they'll once again earn my vote.

Peace.

11. corporate personhood goes to the TOP of the list ASAP nt

[Union Yes]

12. Agree 100%. It all seems to start there, if we ever want to see any reform. Peace. nt
