60 Days

Now that the RNC and DNC conventions are over, we have some work to do. This is our moment of "social responsibility." What happens in this election will not only effect us, but effect literally millions of other people. Here are some of the things that we need to think about:

The war in Iraq. We are spending billions in a financial blackhole.

We need to redouble our efforts and bring Osama Bin-Laden to justice. He's still out there because the republicans dropped the ball. McCain keeps saying he will chase him to he gates of hell, but Obama is correct when he says "they won't even chase him to a cave."

Straighten out our economy. If you a little checking on factcheck.org, you will see literally dozens of misleading statements and lies about Obama's economic policy made by McCain. Most of use would get a tax cut.

Bringing new types of jobs to America. As Thomas L. Friedman says in his book, "The World is Flat," countries like China are not racing us to the bottom, they are racing us to the top." If you don't believe that, go look at the opening and closing footage of the Bejing Olympics. Focusing on building and exporting green technologies is good for American workers and good for the world, in terms of positive environmental policies.

We need to consider defending the Constitution. I think Denzel Washinton in the movie called "The Siege" has it about right when he says, "What if what they really want is for us to herd children into stadiums like we're doing? And put soldiers on the street and--and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General... we do that, and everything that we have bled and fought and died for is over, and they've won. They've already won." The way the Bush administration has functions has been an actual expansion of governmental power over it citizen and have reductions in personal rights.

Reproductive rights for women. I have two daughters and love them very much. For Deb and I it wasn't even really a choice, it was more like a moral imperative. But that doesn't mean it has to be the same for you. I am especially opposed to forcing women who have been raped to carry a baby to term. McCain and Palin are okay with doing this. They are wrong, wrong, wrong.

The Supreme Court. To enable McCain to become President, is to jeopardize our nation of laws. Things will be so upside down, you would think it was 1901. It will be ugly and draconian.

If we allow McCain to win, the average American will suffer greatly. They attack Barrack Obama for only one reason, They have no actual polices that would improve our lives. Personally I'm a little burnt out by the Republican's always being in anger/attack/hater mode, though I am impressed that they've managed to sustain it this long. They will help their corporate buddies, but not you and I. Look at the records of McCain and Obama and what they have actually voted for and supported. This is very serious. We need to be engaged and we need ever vote to be counted. We don't need 8 more years of George Bush. We have suffered enough.

P.S. I would love the Republicans to take responsibility for 9/11, instead of always blaming Democrats last night. I believe it was George Bush was the one who received he brief that said "Bin-Laden determined to Strike the United States of America."
