Hellooooooooo Congress!

Here are the things important to me:
1. Enough to eat for all Americans
2. Productive work for any American who wants a job
3. Minimum wages that allow 1 person to support a family of four
4. Universal single-payer health care
5. A return of the dream that allows a family to imagine owning a home, sending the kids to college.
6. Universal internet access

Here are the things I despise:
1. Subsidies for tobacco, corn, oil, banking
2. Corporations being regarded as people
3. Legalized tax evasion by corporations and rich individuals
4. Congress playing politics while the country bleeds
5. Foreign wars that consume and destroy our children and our wealth
6. Becoming a country of servers instead of movers and shakers, makers and doers

These are the things I can do without:
1. 24-hour news coverage
2. Political posturing on both sides
3. Being lied to by my government
4. Women in politics being represented by idiots
5. More cheap crap from China
6. Divisiveness.

Do you have anything to add? Feel free.

  2. I'm with you on the minimum wage thing. It's hard enough as it is - I can't IMAGINE trying to do this on half the pay.

    I'd love to see a real candidate. Some one to bust up some of the voter apathy. Joe Trippi's book has really got me thinking.
