I’ve been making phone calls through MoveOn.org (it’s fabuous, go to callforchange.org), and it’s forced me to think about how to distill the many travesties of the Republican government into a 15-second litany.
Here’s what I”ve come up with:
- restore checks and balances; this Congress is a rubber stamp
- curb the President’s monarchist tendencies
- correct Congressional inaction on minimum wage, health care, homeland security measures, and energy policy
- correct horrible legislation such as Medicare Part D and the Military Commissions Act (aka the torture bill)
Am I coverering the high (low) points?
