If you haven’t heard, the idea is pass several much needed reforms this week, before Bush’s State of the Union speech. Imagine how that would take the wind out of his sails! It also might restore some credibility to Congress.
Click here to sign the petition. We’re closing in on 175,000 signatures.
Here are the details:
- Good Government: Cutting off lobbyist gifts and restoring fairness and transparency in the way laws are passed
- Fiscal Responsibility: No more recklessly driving up the national debt.
- National Security: Implement all of the 9/11 commission security recommendations
- Fighting Poverty: Increase minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, helping 15 million working families
- Health Research: Increased funding and availability for stem cell research
- Cut interest on federal student loans in half
- Clean Energy: Cut oil company subsidies and invest in safe alternatives
Sounds great! However, I think you neglected to include the link.
Doh!
Now let’s just hope to God they can override as many of W’s vetos as possible.
Stem cell research is probably the best candidate.
And let us pray to G_d that we have a Democrat in the White House in ’08.
