Confident Democrats Lay Out Agenda

For the first time since Bobby Kennedy, this old Independent plans to work hard for Democrats this year, because what has gone on on in the last 6 years goes beyond Democrats and Republicans.

It is about the very survival of our Democratic Republic, which is currently on life-support.

Confident Democrats Lay Out Agenda:

"Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative blitz during their first week in power that would raise the minimum wage, roll back parts of the Republican prescription drug law, implement homeland security measures and reinstate lapsed budget deficit controls.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said in an interview last week that a Democratic House would launch a series of investigations of the Bush administration, beginning with the White House's first-term energy task force and probably including the use of intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Pelosi denied Republican allegations that a Democratic House would move quickly to impeach President Bush. But, she said of the planned investigations, 'You never know where it leads to.'"
