I'm an "Extremist" [View All]

Because....

I want the US troops out of Iraq, Now.

I want the US to join the rest of the Industrialized world, and provide Universal, free medical care to all it's citizens.

I want the US to recognize the value of ALL it's citizens, and provide free, *Quality* education to all from pre-school through college.

I want the US to acknowledge it's debt to ALL it's veterans, and provide complete care for those who have served. This means dealing with the aftermath, whether it's lack of education, or substance abuse, or the results of toxic chemicals.

I want the US to fully support the right of *everyone* to the pursuit of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness... *EVERYONE*, regardless of race, creed, gender or sexual orientation.

For these and other reasons, I want the Democratic Party to return to the values and leadership which is the heritage of our Party... the values of FDR and other Democrats who spoke up for progressive standards, and the values of each human being.

I stand for the right not to have to compromise these important values.

The Abolitionists didn't compromise.

As a result, I am able to look others in the eye as equals.

My Foremothers, the Suffragettes, didn't compromise.

As a result, I am able to vote, hold office, and express my opinion.

I am proud to stand with these and other extremists.

The US has progressed because of the courage of convictions of it's extremists.
