Something else I found while looking at the past posts on Andy’s website:
What Democrats will Do In Their First 100 Hours in Congress.
To paraphrase, they say they would:
· Put
new rules in place to "break the link between lobbyists and legislation."
· Enact
all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
· Raise
the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step.
· Cut
the interest rate on student loans in half.
· Allow
the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.
· All
the days after that: "Pay as you go," meaning no increasing the
deficit
These plan points, if enacted, would be good for all of us who are not personal friends of the Bush family.
We’re not even going to discuss the fact that the United States Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines Times have called for Donald Rumsfeld’s removal as Secretary of Defense (nobody else in the mainstream media is, either).
Vote for something completely different tomorrow.
