MY answer to Moveon's survey. I received by email.
Yes, for one you don't have a phone number where I can call and make suggestions.

Here's mine xxx xxx xxxx

You also don't have a regular email address where I can email you.


You don't harness the most important power we can wield against conservatives and regressives in the Republican and Democratic Parties namely the power of boycotts of Republican contributors in order to force their CEOs to go to the Republicans and get our needed progressive legislation.

Petitions without boycotts mean LITTLE. They did not stop the Iraq war from proceeding. They did not stop the Republican attempt to dismantle medicare and the Republicans will still attempt to privatize social security.


such that I formed a political party called


The Liberal Democratic Party of the United States

COPY AND PASTE AND SEND THE TEXT BELOW TO THE COMPANIES AND
ELECTED OFFICIALS LISTED AT THE WEBSITE LINK BELOW.


A progressive agenda for America.



I demand that the Republican Party hold a press
conference and accede to these demands. Until such a
press conference happens and the legislation and/or
actions gets passed I will boycott products from
Republican contributors Dell Computers, Walmart,
Wendy's, Outback Steak House, Dominos Pizza,
Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Eckerd, CVS and Walgreens,
Curves for women health clubs, General Electric and
Exxon/Mobil.


I demand that congress pass legislation ending the war in
Iraq and withdraw the troops and arrange with the
United Nations to replace US troops with UN troops to
defend Iraq until The Iraqi army can defend Iraq.


I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and
hateful action to end a woman's right to choose
abortion or not.


I demand that the Republican party end their aggressive and
hateful action to harrass immigrants to this country.


I demand that the Congress of the United states and the
president of the United States enact a law to increase
the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to
extend unemployment benefits to a year or more for all
people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6
months even though they still seek work.


I demand that the Congress of the United States to not
privatize social security benefits in any form
including taking a percentage of the social security tax
and placing it in private accounts. People can
already create their own pensions with money after
taxes in the private sector.


I demand that the congress make all of a person's earned
income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes
and remove the 88,000 dollar taxable income limit. This
will make social security solvent for many years to
come.


I demand the congress increase the payroll tax in order to
make social security solvent as well.


I demand congress and the president enact a prescription
drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80
percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no
extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps,
and no penalties for signing up in a succeeding year.


I demand congress repeal the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1
passed by congress in Nov 2003 which includes repealing the means
test for Medicare Part B.


I demand the congress roll back the Medicare Part B monthly
premium to 78 dollars a month.


I demand congress enact single payer universal health
insurance for every citizen as minimum coverage.


I demand that congress and the president enact universal
vote by mail throughout the 50 states of the United
States of America with paper ballots easy to fill out
and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican
Party officials. This will prevent Republicans from
vote suppression by skin color and political party
which happened electronically and in person in the 2000
and 2004 elections.


I demand that congress and the president enact that civil
servants on every state payroll keep track of voter
registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in
each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We
need to take the Republican Party out of the business
of keeping track of voter registration and counting
votes.


I demand that congress and the president ban the secretary
of state in each of the 50 states from engaging in
politics especially acting as a campaign official for a
presidential campaign.


I demand congress enact legislation protecting private
pensions from corporations deliberately declaring
bankruptcy or ending pensions outright.

Browse http://www.dmocrats.org to send these demands to Republican contributors.

Good day.

1. Good luck
If the R's did that lot, they'd put themselves out of business.
