i'll vote for you if...

A few days ago Ronni Bennett wrote a very interesting post asking some very honest (and what should have been unnecessary) questions of the candidates. (Thanks to OneGoodMove for the tip).

Read this most excellent list and ask yourself if the person you've planned to vote for would be willing to go on the record and agree with these points:

the Constitution has been trashed and must be restored

the U.S. has supported and committed torture and it must end

the economy has been wrecked by the power elite in both government and corporate America and that greed will stop, regulations will be enforced

the Iraq War has been a disaster and we need a way out while acknowledging that we bear responsibility for bombing that country back to Ur

universal healthcare is a human right and we’ll find a way to provide it

our infrastructure - bridges, roads, water, sewer systems - will be fixed

No Child Left Behind will be canceled and we’ll figure out how to improve our schools

unwarranted searches and surveillance of citizens will stop

there will be no more fooling around about the environment

a fair solution will be found for immigration

government ethics legislation will have real teeth

separation of church and state will be restored

every last political hack (thousands of them) appointed by the Bush administration to government agencies will be fired, replaced with non-partisan competents

earmarks will disappear entirely from legislation – let them be properly legislated

the wealthy elite have had it their way long enough, reaping collective trillions of dollars on the backs of the middle and lower classes and now it is their turn to pay it back

Whaddya think? Maybe it's time you spread the word and asked your friends what they think of the list.
