We should also focus on other main issues such as:

> The Iraq Quagmire and bringing our troops home. (a special Thank-you to John Murtha, John Kerry, and Russ Feingold)
> Torture - NEVER acceptable. The Geneva Convention applies whether you call the POW’s or “enemy combatants.”
> Homeland Security - especially since there are increasingly more reports that we are not safer here at home. For one thing, Port Security is STILL an issue!
> Illegal, ineffective NSA spying. Not only is it illegal, it is only creating “red herrings” that is wasting our intelligence man-power. As one expert said, this administration is not connecting the dots it is simply collecting more dots.
> The increasing deficit. Repeal tax cuts for the rich and stress better efficiency in government. Stop the huge Republican “earmark” giveaways!
> Increase the minimum wage and wages overall. This is not only good for the workers, by increasing consumer buying power it is also good for the economy.
> Stop or at least slow down out-sourcing. Get rid of corporate incentives to move off-shore.
Republican corruption. Abramoff, Delay, Valerie Plame’s outing, Sybil Edwards and other whistle-bower protections, etc.
> Health Care. Most Americans want Universal Health Care.
> Also extremely important: Election Fraud. Without clean elections, we have no Democracy. (A special Thank-you to John Conyers)
> Of course, we also cannot forget “healing and re-uniting the country” after Bush has proven he is a Divider, not a Uniter. The “United” States should be more than just a name.

However, by adding the environmental debate and building on Al Gore’s work Democrats can win a landslide in 2006 and 2008! And until Democrats can regain power and do something about Election Fraud, we may NEED a landslide.
