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.

Action needed now: $2,000.00 a month for every adult and $100.00 a month for every child in the family

Anyone who still has any hope that the Democratic Party will ever be responsive to the needs of working people can do a very simple little experiment.


Try this experiment.


Take the demand for $2,000.00 a month for every adult and $100.00 a month for every child in the family to your local Democratic Party organization asking them to put their endorsement in writing. Let us know how they respond. It’s a very easy experiment to carry out. Anyone suggesting we “vote blue no matter who” can do this.


Just so you know, I wouldn’t suggest you do anything I wouldn’t do. So far I have had no response. See if you can get a response; if you do get a response, share the response with us.


There is probably no reform more basic with so little cost helping so many people that could ever be enacted.
