Sign this petition, send it to 4 friends to sign it then email it to webmaster@buylue.biz when you sign it as the 5th person. I will

send it by email or fax to the Republican leaders of congress and the CEOs of the companies who give money to the GOP.

 

A progressive agenda for America.

 

 

I demand that the Republican Party hold a press conference and accede to these demands. Until such a press conference happens and the legislation and/or actions gets passed I will boycott products from Republican contributors Dell Computers, Walmart, Wendy's, Outback Steak House, Dominos Pizza, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens, Curves for women health clubs, General Electric and Exxon/Mobil.

 

I demand that congress pass legislation ending the war in Iraq and withdraw the troops and arrange with the United Nations to replace US troops with UN troops to defend Iraq until The Iraqi army can defend Iraq.

 

I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and hateful action to end a woman's right to choose abortion or not.

 

I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and hateful action to harrass immigrants to this country.

 

I demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits to a year or more for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.

 

I demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.

 

I demand that the congress make all of a person's earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar taxable income limit. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.

 

I demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to make social security solvent as well.

 

I demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps, and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year.

 

I demand congress repeal the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.

 

I demand congress enact single payer universal health insurance for every citizen as minimum coverage.

 

I demand that congress and the president enact universal vote by mail throughout the 50 states of the United States of America with paper ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color and political party which happened electronically and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections.

 

I demand that congress and the president enact that civil servants on every state payroll keep track of voter registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We need to take the Republican Party out of the business of keeping track of voter registration and counting votes.

 

I demand that congress and the president ban the secretary of state in each of the 50 states from engaging in politics especially acting as a campaign official for a presidential campaign.

 

I demand congress enact legislation protecting private pensions from corporations deliberately declaring bankruptcy or ending pensions outright.

 

Signed,

It's better to word petitions positively and without using "demands" language. Make them more legalistic. For instance, something like 'whereas the war in Iraq has killed _____ nos. of American troops and Iraqi noncombatants, etc etc."

 

You turn off the people you are addressing if you make it too confrontational.

Take a look at the kind of petitions www.sojo.net has out or just get on his action list and go with his. I think they are very good.

I thought democrats as well as republicans supported going to war?

 

Is it possible to be a progressive Christian without being anti-republican? I am liking a lot about the progressive Christian thing, but I consider myself politically purple.

I believe that you'll find most people here to be apolitical. Besides, I have a policy of not affixing my name to anything that is chained.

If you want to blow off steam, this is okay. But if you expect results, it's exactly the wrong way to word a petition.
