What is this election about?
For you, is this election about getting out of Iraq?

Who gets to pick the next Supreme Court Justice?

Fixing the mess left by the GOP, including (but not limited to):
* dismantling Habeas Corpus
* fixing the Mississippi Gulf Coast
* deprivatizing everything?

Or is it something else?

5. I want to see full restoration of the Constitution
Edited on Sat Mar-22-08 06:41 PM by Blue_In_AK
and I want all of those "presidential signing statements" overturned to start with. I want the repeal of government by corporation and a reinstatement of government by the people. I want a president who listens to the will of the people and doesn't say things like "so?" when reminded that the citizens may not be with him. I want affordable health care for all. I want affordable higher education. I want the war to end, I want the US to give up empire-building and regime change. I want alternative energy and environmental protection. I want transparent government.

3. It's about
an all-but-hopeless struggle against the complete destruction of the American lower and middle class.
