(46,179 posts)Here are some of my priorities, in no particular order:
Repeal the Patriot Act in full.
Get rid of Homeland Security.
Get rid of "Citizens United."
Restore all civil liberties eroded by the Bush Administration and the Obama administration.
End all current military action, and engage in no future action that is not sanctioned by the U.N..
End the privatization of all public services. Make all public services, including utilities, roads, and other infrastructure, non-profit and public, accomplished by public employees.
Make sure every employee in the nation has a trade union to support them.
Repeal NAFTA and all "free" trade agreements, in favor of fair trade based on environmental and labor standards.
Return manufacturing jobs to the U.S..
Universal national health care paid for by taxes and free at the point of service.
Universal, FREE, 100% PUBLIC education, preschool - university or trade school.
That's a start. There's plenty of substance there.
What kind of "progressive dog" are you? A DLC "PPI" progressive, or an old-school economic progressive, or?
What do you care about, other than jumping in to "disagree" with people without stating your own positions?
