http://www.democrats.org/page/community/blog_rss/larrymcneely/html A few musing from a Union organizer who wants to slap the donkey into being what it was always meant to be: A progressive, populist voice for regular Americans So in order to get the conversation going...<br /> And so that I can actually begin to make up my mind,<br /> <br /> Who should I support? Obama or Edwards?<br /> <br /> What do I care about?<br /> Leadership: The next President must have the capacity to shift the moral consensus in this country. They must be able to not only mobilize our base but inspire the radical center to support steps toward basic fairness in our economy and society<br /> <br /> Healthcare: We must have every man woman and child covered. But the plan has to be passable.<br /> <br /> Workers Rights: Union workers have fought and died to make our country more just. The next President can do a lot to fight the atmosphere of fear that pervades a workplace anytime someone mentions union.<br /> <br /> Foreign Policy: We must manage our pullout from Iraq in such a way that the American people do not force complete military disengagement from the region. We must win in Afghanistan and we must stabilize the Gulf enough to avoid economic catatrophe or regional war.<br /> <br /> Those are my issues. I await some creative responses from my fellow dems. http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/larrymcneely/CHGN http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/larrymcneely/CHGN/commentary#comments Sun, 08 Apr 2007 08:16:02 EDT http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/larrymcneely/CHGN union organizer/Arlington Democrat http://www.democrats.org/page/community/profile_picture/270f5db91247403b2a_6bktmv5na.jpg union organizer/Arlington Democrat 5 http://www.democrats.org/page/community/comment_rss/CHGN/ Everyone who reads this post needs to call their congresspeople and Senators and tell them to support the Employee Free Choice Act.
