America Overwhelmingly Supports Raising The Minimum Wage
This has to be a big issue for us this year.

Look at these numbers! 83-14% in favor of a raise.

1. Deja vu
Before 2004 election, 93% supported current or stronger environmental legislation and only 7% supported weakening environmental laws. This is the worst environmental president in my lifetime, yet environmental issues were almost non-existent in campaign and media discussions. Should have been the easiest of all issues to frame and win.

The dems practically have all the issues on their side. The challenge is discussing them correctly, with strategy, and gaining exposure, something they have not done well at all.

Failed policies in education, homeland security and intelligence, environment, economy and deficit management, foreign relations, emergency preparedness, health care, balance of power, election reform, workplace safety, energy, etc ARE ALL GIANT ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE BIG FOR US.
