What kind of a Democratic Party platform do we want?
What kind if a nation do we want?
What kind of a leader do we want?
Here's a checklist (my fellow Kossacks may feel free to add more).
If you think......
(under the orange wrought iron design, please)
that healthcare should be a right and not a privilege, and that single payer should simply mean medicare for all,...
that anyone who works 40 hours per week or more should not live in poverty,...
that the minimum wage should be raised to a living wage,...
that the infrastructure of our nation needs to be rebuilt -- as much as
$3 Trillion worth - creating jobs,...
that college should be made more affordable, and there is a need for relief of student loan debt, or a student loan bailout,...
that political campaigns should only be publicly financed, and you are in favor of overturning Citizens United with a Constitutional Amendment,...
that climate change needs to be addressed -- with the US taking a leading role in energy independence, while moving away from fossil fuels,...
that a jobs program needs to be created in order to combat youth unemployment,...
that Social Security should be expanded (and not just defended)...
that corporations pay their fair share of taxes, and that corporate inversions should be prevented...
that the corporations who are manufacturing products they expect Americans to buy should be manufacturing more of these products in the US,...
that the US Postal Service should be relieved of the financial burden of pre-funding benefits to its workers 10 years in advance, and that no postal mail processing centers should be closed,...
Then we -- my fellow Kosacks, are the new propagators of the kind of Platform, nation, and leadership we need in our nation.
Then we -- my fellow Kossacks, should do everything we can to urge Bernie Sanders to register with the Democratic Party and consider a Presidential run in 2016.
Or maybe we can at least try to campaign for Sanders - as a (D) - to be the Minority Leader in the Senate. (This would put him a bit more on the national stage, and increase his stature and popularity.)
Can we put together a Kossack coalition to push this?
