Did anyone see what the Senate Dems came out with today?? It's a 10-point legislative plan -- and it's very good!! (I know, don't faint -- the Dems are finally fighting back hard and smart!).
Please take a look and sign this (it takes less than a minute to fill it out):
http://democrats.senate.gov/cosponsor-form.html Click on the bottom left hand corner of the petition to read more about the ten pieces of legislation they're proposing. It looks to me like a well-crafted political bludgeon that will make Frist, Bush and the rest of them drool. It's "tough" on defense (it proposes funding 40,000 more troops to drive home the point that Bush is abusing out National Guardsmen), proposes strengthening Medicaid, has a strong education funding proposal, and demands election reform.
In the education bill there's even a proposal for funds to buy new school buses to replace dilapidated ones in rural areas of the country!! (It's like saying: See rural voters!! Dems care about your kids!! Republicans say they're gonna ban gay marriage but they renege on the deal as soon as they get elected.... vote for us Dems .... we won't lie to you....)
Please kick this so it stays up where DUers will see it.
Also, please forward the petition to anybody you know who may be interested in signing...
Thanks....
