Who all thinks it is about time for the Progressive left with the labor
movement to call a Nationwide strike to cause the collapse of the Reactionary Right-Wing power structure? Even if it means violent means if necessary which would most likely be required to rid this country of the Fascist elements that have been in power during this Bush regime.

1. Strike, yes! Violence, NO!
We will only acheive peace through peaceful means. Stop over consuming, yes! Every day!

2. What would be your demands?
Are you advocating a strike to end the Iraq war? Strike until we have a national health plan? Strike until we raise the minimum wage?

What would a nationwide strike do, other than add to the chaos we're already experiencing?

3. Umm...
If you could talk folks into not paying their credit card bills it would have a better effect, and with no pain over lost wages.

4. I Dunno...
about the strike--maybe so, but one thing seems certain to me, and that is that the Democratic party should be joining with labor in a big way and bursting onto the scene with a populist movement. Back to left wing basics and working for the people and particularly labor; America has turned her back on her people for too long.
