Showing Original Post only (View all)Reccomend this thread if you love Senator Harkin [View all]
If we could only turn back time and elect Tom as our President.
I remember catching grief for my "Harkin for President" bumper sticker but I displayed it proudly and history has proven me correct in my choice.
Goodbye Senator...you will be missed!
Tom Harkin for President 1992 Campaign Brochures:
TOM HARKIN'S FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
1. End George Bush's supply-side, trickle-down, tax-breaks-for-the-rich economics.
2. Use Tom Harkin's INVESTMENT BASED ECONOMICS to invest in America -- our workers, our schools, health care and our infrastructure.
3. Stop subsidizing the defense of our allies. And use that money here at home. Invest in America.
4. Get tough on trade and stop exporting American jobs to foreign countries.
5. Help America's working families with national health care, parental leave, child care and pay equity.

Yep. We need a time machine to go back to 1992 and switch our Presidential Primary votes to Harkin.
