LIBERAL TEA PARTY MOUNTING!

VAN JONES OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM



While I despise their policies, I admire the tea party's passion. This new campaign seeks to unite progressive Americans to steer our politicians, ll of whom just punked us on the debt deal, back on track. I hope you'll check this out and if you agree, lend them your support.

FROM THE CONTRACT FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM:

The basic premise of the campaign is that America isn't broke, it's merely imbalanced. In order to stabilize the economy, politicians should make substantial investments in infrastructure, energy, education and the social safety net, tax the rich, end the wars, and create a wider revenue base through job creation.

"Many of our best workers are sitting idle, while the work of rebuilding America goes undone," reads one bullet point of the Contract. "Together, we must rebuild our country, reinvest in our people and jump-start the industries of the future. Millions of jobless Americans would love the opportunity to become working, tax-paying members of their communities again. We have a jobs crisis, not a deficit crisis."
