How Do You Feel About Democracy?

The Midwest Democracy Network has a question for the 2008 slate of presidential candidates: what will you do to strengthen our democracy? They've sent a questionnaire, which you can read here, to the candidates asking for their positions on issues like public financing of presidential and congressional races, to voter registration, to what should be done about the "revolving door" between Congress and the lobby sector.


Though these issues have come up individually on the campaign trail, it's a sign of progress that this group is uniting them together as vital steps towards a comprehensive goal: the well-being of our system of government. The deadline for returning these questionnaires is coming up quick. Where will the candidates stand?

The war must end. The billions of dollars must be re directed to meet the needs of the citizens. Needless to say, our infrasturcture needs attention, education is in dire need of reorganization, health care remains a major problem for millions of people and housing and jobs are just some of the issues we need to attend to. What will the candidates do to attend to these problems?

The most important question for every Presidential Candidate

The most important question that should be asked from every Candidate for President first which demands a
clear, straight, simple and honest answer, but hasn't been touched yet.

What are your plans regarding our Constitution, Habeas Corpus, guaranteed rights, freedoms, liberties
and the laws of this country, the kidnapping, abductions, secret foreign
prisons, torture used there, illegal wiretapping and Guantanamo?

If you plan on stopping all that and returning America back into what it used to stand for, when do you intend
to start and how long will it take!

That would be the best strength Democracy could ever have.
As Josef Stalin remarked, it does not matter who voted or how many voted, the only thing that matters is, who counted the votes?

Think Florida 2000.
