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.

Let's have some openness conducive to a democratic society.

We have never seen the full “Church Commission” report that included the joint FBI-CIA report known as “The Family Jewels” that remains mostly redacted and highly censored with complete sections blacked-out.


Perhaps if this document was released to the American people in its entirety without censorship the American people would have a better understanding of just how dirty and rotten this government has been in suppressing and repressing democracy since the end of World War II, both at home and abroad.


And let’s have all the FBI’s “COINTELPRO” files fully disclosed.


Why would anyone who believes in democracy continue to support anything other than full and open disclosure?


Why are these CIA biological warfare laboratories still operating if the horrors they create are not being used? We know they were used against Cuba; why wouldn’t they be unused against China?
We know the way anti-Communism and red-baiting were used in the past to pervert U.S. foreign policy... aren’t we going to stand up and question why these ideological poisons are still being used today?


The Democratic Party establishment, using the most vicious and pernicious anti-Communism and red-baiting, is trying to cripple liberal, progressive and left thinking which is critical to having a peaceful foreign policy towards other countries and integral to domestic policies intended to make life better for the working class.


Do we want to go into another long, protracted era of anti-Communist red-baiting and all that that entails from never-ending wars making us all poor to an attack on worker’s rights and livelihoods?
