Peace

Peace!


Now that word has two meanings today in regards to our recent national election.

First it means PEACE out!

Peace Mark Foley. Peace out Donald Rumsfield. thanks for just about nothing. Peace Charles Taylor from NC. Peace Rick Santorum of PA. Peace George Allen. Peace Conrad Burns. Peace Stay the Course.

Peace out incompentance. Peace out blind sheep. Peace out wrapping yourself in the American Flag.

Peace out religious zealots. Peace out dividing a nation. Peace out "you're either with us or you're against us."

The balance of power has changed.

And Secondly it means let there be PEACE.

Soon to be the first woman Speaker of the House in United States history, Nancy Pelosi, has an ambitious agenda for her newly minted Democratic Congress.

"Day One: Put new rules in place to "break the link between lobbyists and legislation."

Day Two: Enact all the recommendations made by the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Time remaining until 100 hours: Raise the minimum wage to $7.25 an hour, maybe in one step. Cut the interest rate on student loans in half. Allow the government to negotiate directly with the pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.

Broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds _ "I hope with a veto-proof majority," she added in an Associated Press interview Thursday.

All the days after that: "Pay as you go," meaning no increasing the deficit, whether the issue is middle class tax relief, health care or some other priority.

To do that, she said, Bush-era tax cuts would have to be rolled back for those above "a certain level." She mentioned annual incomes of $250,000 or $300,000 a year and higher, and said tax rates for those individuals might revert to those of the Clinton era. Details will have to be worked out, she emphasized."

Now thats a very American agenda. But she has to prove it to us all, that the Democrats are for real and mean REAL change. How about America's 1st Muslim Congressman!

Real fiscal, moral, competance, and leadership change. People that Americans will glady support and believe they are doing a stand up job.

Otherwise the Democrats are just as useless as Republicans in office.
They must and will show up to work ready for meaningful reform.

How about something on a streamlined national election process? Wouldn't that just make sense?

Or meaningful legislation to help the nation's schools meet high standards? Wouldn't a federally required mandate for teacher pay and school support only make sense? Or how about state level requirements each unique to that state?

Immigration anyone? The LAW is broken, not the border. We need real reform that helps everyone and protects our own American workers.

Needless to say, I am elated Democrats have shown they can win. Now they show why they must win. Only be laying partisan differences aside and working with Republicans and conservatives will we become a better nation. People. World.

There is plenty of work to be done. I look forward to torching the Left for a long time.
