What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

We need a new Declaration of Independence...

From the Democratic and Republican parties.

We need a new Declaration of Independence from the Democratic and Republican parties because we need peace in order to achieve real health care reform and many other reforms beneficial to working people that we just aren't going to get from either of these two big-business controlled political parties.

We ned to begin declaring our independence by telling the Democrats and Republicans:

No peace; no votes.

No real progressive health care reform; no votes.

In the tradition of the American Revolution of 1776 we need to insist upon "accountability" from all politicians because accountability is the fundamental basis of all democracies.

Voting out of fear for the "lesser of two-evils" destroys accountability

We need to tell the Democrats and Republicans they will get:

No campaign contributions.

No phone banking.

No working the neighborhoods and mines, mills and factories.

We need to make it very clear:

We are fed up!
