If Dems win back the House or Senate, what should be first thing on agenda

[kentuck]

Do they call for instant investigations? Do they request that Bush work with them to pass some meaningful legislation? Do they hold impeachment hearings? What should they do first?

[DanCa]

1. investigate the 2000 and 2004 four elections.

Thats the first priority.

[Pam-Moby]

2. The second thing is to start impeachment

:bounce:

[NanceGreggs]

5. If the actions suggested in Posts 1 & 2 are followed ...

... I'm happy!

But if we can go on to No. 3, rescind the 'tax cuts' to the wealthiest one percent of Americans -- and make it RETROACTIVE! Then use the money to put NOLA and environs back on the map, and get the Katrina victims back on their feet.

[DanCa]

6. Enviro reform, a ban from overturning roe, and universal health care

would be all a the top of my legislative plate.

[Pam-Moby]

8. Agreed.

[madokie]

14. Roll back everything that bush* has done

And I mean everthing, get rid of the patriots act.

[Ladyhawk]

11. I wish we were more organized on this.

We need a "Cindy Sheehan" figure to rally behind. Or something.

(((((((((((((((DanCa)))))))))))))))

[no_hypocrisy]

3. 1. Diebold 2. Tax cuts rescission 3. Iraq withdrawal

[0007]

4. Raising minimum, wage and controlling the immigrants that

come into this country illegally. That should take about 15 minutes.

2. Checking out the medicaid programs and the Senior's that can't figure out what going on with the new prescription drug system.

[jody]

7. Getting reelected. n/t

[kimpossible]

9. Impeachment, of course

For so many reasons...

[DBoon]

10. 1. Electoral reform

2. Change labor laws to encourage organizing
3. Double the minimum wage
4. Repeal any Bush tax cut that does not benefit median income wage earners (meaning everything except the increase in the dependent deduction)

[dogman]

12. Campaign finance reform.

Public funding with absolute spending caps, totally independent issue advocacy with no mentions of candidates or Parties. Second, national election day as a national holiday with no exceptions but health and human services with guaranteed time to get to the polls. Police and Fire and Emergency available but absolutely no retail or service industry.

[Me.]

13. If They Have A Big Enough Margin To Overcome Vetoes

1. Election Fraud

2. Rescind Tax Cuts

3. Undo every environmental policy they have put in place and stop them from stealing any more land.

4. Investigations: Plame, Niger, DSM, Sibel Edmonds, Abramoff, Delay, AIPAC, Halliburton, the missing billions, 9-11

For starters and we'll go from here

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. Investigate, investigate, investigate.

Start with 2000, 2002 and 2004 election fraud (then get rid of the FREAKIN' evoting machines), investigate the run up to the illegal invasion, then start impeachment proceedings, indict and prosecute ALL of them.

[nemo137]

16. Declare War on Christmas!

In all seriousness, fix the economy and fix the election system. I'd prefer it in that order.

[Cocoa]

19. lol!

:-)

[nemo137]

38. I'm serious, there are a brazillion things to do, but that's at the top

Well, right behind some economic fixing. And electoral reform. And media reform. And Universal healthcare.

But I'm serious!.

[Delarage]

17. Spray Lysol on the seats.

Then work on reigning in Executive power and election reform. Then try to balance the budget (raise taxes for the rich).

[ashling]

40. Due to your post,

I sprayed lemonade on my computer.
:rofl:

[flyarm]

18. break up media!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Nicole]

20. Impeach

[Cocoa]

21. universal health care

start by axing the prescription drug boondoggle, saving Medicare, then move on to expanding it.

[pinto]

34. Any improvement on health care from the Dems would be an immediate benefit

to average Americans and a big political plus for our party.

[BlueManDude]

22. armor vests for the soldiers and armor plating for all the vehicles

stop the assembly lines at factories and get this shit to the troops at once.

[kevinbgoode]

23. Restore the Fairness Doctrine

that will spell the end for half the televangelists and Faux News.

[pinto]

33. I'd support that one as effective and reasonably "doable" from the House.

[sueh]

24. Impeach the bastards.

[ContraBass Black]

25. Return our civil rights!

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Impeach!

Nothing else. War crimes.

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Here's a list though

1) War crimes and impeachment of ALL cabinent members involved including Wolfowitz

2) Ban Diebold machines in elections forever

3) Have real hearings on the 2004 election and election reform

[Cleita]

28. Hold impeachment hearings for the whole White House

meaning Cheney and the entire cabinet. Of course they would have to have investigations first. They will only lie and obstruct the way to meaningful legislation so I don't consider this an option.

[cascadiance]

29. Legislation to take down "corporate personhood" judicial activism...

Roberts and some on the court might no like it, but a sizable majority in the congress could write law to clarify that corporations don't have the same rights as individuals, which would help us fix A LOT of things and start taking away this creeping coporate feudalism before it goes too far.

And perhaps some legislation so that if companies outsource more of their work than they hire here, then they ALSO have to either outsource or move their corporate execs and CEOs overseas too. Make it so that they can't get their cake and eat it too when they try to get cheap slave labor and fatten themselves here. They will have to globalize their own living habits by being forced out of this country, if they don't choose to try and utilize it's labor and other resources effectively.

[Ioo]

30. 1. Impeach - 2. VOTER REFORM!!!!

So they can never steal another election.

[jzodda]

31. Pass a new draft law

Pass a new Draft law for all the republicans in Congress to force them to fight on the front lines in Iraq. Give them a gun and drop them in Ramadi.

:)

[tinrobot]

32. Impeach, then fix the voting system.

Everything else can wait.

[gort]

35. Pick out what to wear....

to President Pelosi's swearing-in ceremony.

[KitchenWitch]

36. High on the agenda

should be to repeal most of the crap that has been passed since 2000.

[Seabiscuit]

37. "Off With Their Heads!!!!!"

Or, in the words of so many funny Vietnam era characters on film: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Really... these bastards have killed and tortured for too long - it's their turn.

[atfqn]

39. Good thread

I would support -

1.) an immediate apology for our actions over the last 6 years and explain we were temporarily insane but the problem has been fixed.

2.) a new voting system created by a triumvirate of ACLU, MIT, and CalTech that is both secure and open source.

3.) rapid reinvestment in our educational programs at the expense of the defense industry and military.


This is like wishing on the lotto - I know, but sometimes even the poorest win.

[Neil Lisst]

41. INVESTIGATIONS!! The lies for the War, the Plame affair, etc.

Just one house of congress is all we need, just ONE!!


Jeopardy, eh?
