Well I know I'm not the only one who the DLC has managed to piss off with their constant and steady move to the right. I know there has been talk among people about halting contributions to the DLC and finding a new progressive organization... well I've found one. I don't know if everyone has heard of it, but they are called
21st Century Democrats. Their website is:
http://www.21stcenturydems.orgHere is where they stand on the issues:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Quality public education for all childrenWe believe all children deserve a top quality education and we oppose voucher schemes because they drain funds from our public schools.
Universal healthcare coverageWe are committed to reforming our health care system so that all Americans have access to the highest level of care.
Corporate accountabilityWe think major corporations ought to be held responsible for their actions and should be regulated to ensure that their power does not undercut the authority of our government.
Fair taxes and responsible social policyWe support a fair and just tax system and we oppose the Bush tax cut which serves only to help America’s wealthiest citizens.
Good jobs, living wages and secure pensionsWe defend the rights of workers to organize for fair wages and good working conditions and we oppose attempts to privatize or undermine our social security system.
A clean and sustainable environmentWe believe our environment must be protected and we support the advent of new technologies to encourage continued preservation.
Civil and human rights for allWe support equal opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, gender, age, ethnic or religious background or sexual identity.
Clean election lawsWe believe everyone should have the opportunity to attain public office—not just the very wealthy. We support laws that would limit the use of private money in elections.
