If you support those issues, then vote on those issues.

I personally feel that something is out of balance when the US spends MORE on "Defense" than the next 30 countries COMBINED, and that spending even MORE is the wrong direction for this country and the World.
The money could be spent elsewhere and create as many or more jobs and help as many or more communities. Spending the money building a network of high quality Assisted Living Communities and staffing with quality personnel makes more sense to me than spending the money building bombs, but to each their own.

Also, I personally oppose expanding Slave Labor for Factory Farms Programs.
Immigration should be liberal, assisted, open, easy, and regulated. Immigrants should have access to LEGAL jobs that pay a living wage and benefits. Corporations and individuals caught hiring "illegals" should be heavily fined. Enforcement should target the corporations (Factory Farms) exploiting "illegals", and NOT the victims.

If you are still for "Free Trade", you just haven't been paying attention.
Illegal immigration across the Mexican border has increased exponentially since NAFTA.
The PROOF is IN.
NAFTA has been a Human Rights, LABOR Rights, and Environmental disaster in Mexico.


The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
