- ekwhite, on 12/12/2007, -0/+3Just think - the Republicans are now doing for our country what they did for Chile. It's time to put progressive policies like universal health care, adequate funding for education, and other policies in place, and put America back to work! A social safety net would encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, and would cost a lot less than what we are spending in Iraq.

What happened to the 'American dream'?; for some of us, people of color, lower working classes, minority women, and others, that is all what is was. A dream deferred.

Now we're seeing the results of 30 years of less government, and this was just the FIRST 30 years, imagine..., no, you probably don't want to imagine the next 30. Dennis Kucinich, the leading democratic presidential candidate, already has a plan to put people back to work with living wages rebuilding the country's infrastructure and retrofitting homes with clean, sustainable energy (wind and solar). He has already introduced a bill in Congress for a not-for-profit health care system, and is in favor of workers being allowed to organize. He would bring the Federal Reserve under government control and remove was an an instrument of policy. He would create a Department of Peace, to avert war and violence in society in general.
He would end NAFTA and CAFTA and withdraw from the WTO immediately, and he would negotiate trade with individual countries, based on human rights, workers rights, and environmental principles, both things that would bring jobs back to the U.S.
He comes from a poor, working class background and remembers his roots. He has proven his commitment to the people and has been elected many times, so we know he's electable, despite what the MSM tells us. The problem now is overcoming the MSM's black-out on his campaign. It is up to us to be the media, if we want to save our country. Do what you can to work for Dennis. Then do more. It's up to us. We CAN do it. - hartmoney, on 12/11/2007, -0/+1Good article
