Saw this on an AOL article comment earlier, and I agree with it 100%. Wanted to repost it here and let others know that THIS is what I'm going to use as a basis for my campaign platform! This is what a real leader needs to be concerned with!
My pledge....
......
-I will not vote for any bill that includes the continuation of the wars in the middle east or invading other countries in that region, or the interference in any country that is not directly affecting U.S. concerns
-I am for the public option and will do my best to see that it comes about.
-I am against maintaining the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, corporate tax loopholes, and corporate subsidies and will vote to end them.
-I am for the total reform and protection of all entitlement programs.
-I am for real financial reform and consumer protection.
-I am for a jobs bill funded by the federal government to repair and rebuild the US infrastructure that would create millions of jobs.
-I will not agree to decrease investment in education.
This is the way to make America a better country for all. Thank you for your support!
