Has anyone started petition or email sites for contacting President Kerry
and VP Edwards with our concerns?

For example, I am planning on setting some up about election reform measures and bringing back the Fairness doctrine.

If you have policy petitions of your own that will be directed to President Kerry and his team, please add them to this list and I will collect them and put them in the activism section of my website.

Thanks! :D

1. SO many!

REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT

None of this BS about slow and honorable withdrawal. Troop out of Iraq the second he takes power.

Honestly address Social Security

Re-up with Kyoto and other global environmental efforts

Stop the ban on birth control to 3rd world countries who allow abortion

See to it that all areas in the US have access to safe, affordable abortion

AIDS needs more funding, here and abroad

Set precident by firing Scalia and appoint Cuomo to Supreme Court (OK, maybe that's just a pipedream of mine... and maybe Scalia will die a natural death during Kerry's term and it will come true anyway.)

4. That's a great list for starters
I know that some larger groups will already be addressing some of those with email sites and petitions, but we ought to keep an eye out and see if any subjects are missed so that we can pick them up.

2. I'm already mentally planning my nice handwritten letter
of congratulations and suggestions.

- BBV
- election fairness reform, i.e. IRV, Clean Elections
- media reform
- environment

and I'm looking forward to writing it. :D

TSA? People are being pulled on the side while going through searches to board planes and are being harassed and "tagged" for no reason.

Go here to this DailyKOS thread and read what I mean. Scary stuff!!!!

Just reading people's experiences, just down right frightening...I'm talking about Big Brother, Orwellian stuff here! Might be part of the Patriot Act, don't know, but thought I would mention it.
