- Can we at least agree on these issues? (In no particular order)
1. The Iraq invasion and occupation is illegal.
2. A woman (and not the state) should have control over her own body.
3. That the 'war on drugs' is useless and oppressive and that drug 'abusers' should be sent to treatment, not jail. ( Like Limbaugh ). It's a health/medical, not criminal problem.
4. Public education is best because it serves all citizens equally, regardless of social status.
5. Environmental and business regulation is necessary in a free country.
6. That the Constitution / Bill of Rights should be the law of the land.
7. The Free Press has the responsibility / duty to inform the citizenry about their government so that their votes are based on 'informed consent'.
8. The separation of church and state.
9. The 'war on terrorism' is useless and oppressive and is being used by the Bush* administration and Republican party to advance their political agenda and stifle dissent.
10. That more than half the voting population doesn't vote because they've given up hope on the political system.
- You're welcome to add more issues. How many of these issues can conservative and liberal Democrats agree upon? I believe we have more in common than is apparent.
