From the Progressive Policy Policy Insitute:
President-elect Barack Obama takes office next week with an economic
crisis, record unemployment, and an unstable Middle East looming -- and
Americans are clamoring for quick, effective action in every area. The
president-elect needs more than political will to make effective
change -- he needs ideas.
Last September, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) began releasing
policy prescriptions written with an eye toward enabling the next
president to hit the ground running. Today, PPI is releasing the
collection of those 15 memos, along with 10 entirely new essays on
topics ranging from financial regulation to national security, in a
book called Memos to the New President. In keeping with PPI's mission
of modernizing progressive politics, these essays offer ideas that
challenge ideological orthodoxy on both sides and propose bold new
solutions for the coming administration.

DEMOCRATS FOR LIFE PRAISE DNC'S KAINE
Democrats for Life of America is excited about President-Elect Obama's choice for Democratic National Committee Chair. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine is one of DFLA's closest allies in the fight to reduce the abortion rate in America. In addition to being a pro-life Democrat himself, he helped pass and signed into law America's first abortion reduction bill modeled after DFLA's 95-10 Initiative. Democrats for Life of America looks forward to continuing working with Governor Kaine and continuing a campaign to pass the Pregnant Woman Support Act in Congress.

Obama needs to ascertain the five changes to which moral and social conservatives would most object, and undertake to veto any such Bill unless already passed (which it never would be) by a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Congress. What would the GOP say to that?
And he needs to ascertain the five economic changes that the unions most want, and undertake to veto any Bill relating to such matters which did not include them; no such Bill would ever have been passed by two thirds of each House.
Or he should be needing to get ready for one hell of a fight in the 2012 primaries, and on into the election himself. Is he so needing? If not, why not?
Obama President one fraud equal George w Bush and MaCaim, More one eminent attack contrary Bil of Rights Citzens
