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.

A few questions for voters...

Are these wars raging in Iraq and Afghanistan any less horrible since they are being waged by Democrats instead of Republicans?

Is the impact of unemployment any better for an unemployed worker under a Democratic Administration then under a Republican Administration?

Is it any better to be without health care with Obama and the Democrats in charge then under the Republicans?

Send Democrats a message they will understand:

No peace; no votes.

No real health care reform; no votes.

No national public child care system; no votes.

No jobs; no votes.

Only vote for candidates who will create jobs putting people to work solving the problems of people and our society financed with money saved from ending these dirty wars and taxing the rich.

Vote selectively based upon those politicians you can trust to reorder the priorities in this country away from war and military spending while focusing on putting the needs of people before Wall Street profits.

It is all about accountability... not voting out of fear.
