What should the 2008 Democratic Platform Look Like? No Candidates-Just Ideas. [View All]

One thing unites all of us, and that is returning majority control of Congress and the White House to Democrats.

Another truth is that there are many fine candidates vying to be the 2008 Democratic nominee for President.

So without 'choosing' a candidate, we should be assembling the very best ideas being put forth by those 'running' and those 'not running' to create a Democratic Platform that will put our country back on the right track, and serve the people of our country rather than the special interests of corporations and the wealthy who have been catered to by this Administration.

IF we channel our common interests in this manner, rather than attack one another because we all do not prefer the same Democratic Presidential Nominee, we can accomplish our goals and begin to fix our badly broken government, its ideals, and bring our troops home.

So place your candidate's ideas, and your non-candidate's ideas, out here in the 'marketplace of ideas' and let's see what has the support of the people, what is best for everyone, and begin to construct a platform made of ideas that will be unassailable in 2008 regardless of which fine candidate becomes our nominee.

Let's be positive, tone down the criticism within the party, and realize what is important --increasing majority control in the Congress and retaking the White House in 2008. To do otherwise is to hand Republicans the opportunity to regain power and further oppress us all.
