The Nation.


Currently

  • Empire vs. Republic

    The Editors : George W. Bush

    Instead of Bush's imperial presidency, America needs the vision of Congressional progressives: rapid withdrawal from Iraq, universal healthcare, campaign reform and a shift to renewable energy.

  • The Big Fix

    Repair America's infrastructure, starting with New Orleans; resettle displaced people in the city, give them construction jobs and pay all a fair wage.

  • Realistic Immigration

    Hilda Solis : Migration & Immigration

    Grant legal status to hard-working, tax-paying immigrants; give up the illusion that law enforcement alone will solve immigration problems.

  • Raising Up Youth

    Diane Watson : Youth Violence

    Insure funding for programs with proven success rehabilitating violent youths and avoid the failures of the prison system.

  • Good Government

    Henry Waxman : Congress

    Elect a Democratic Congress in 2006; restore ethics to Congress; block the appointment of cronies to key posts; stop the politicization of science.

  • Education Mobilization

    Establish a first-rate education system to draw on our greatest untapped human resource: the children of our inner cities.

    Give small farmers and ranchers help to compete with global agricultural giants; enact farmer-friendly solutions to existing destructive trade policies.

  • Coming Clean and Green

    Raul Grijalva : Environment

    Rein in political and business interests that degrade the environment; pass the Apollo Energy Act to provide incentives for clean technology.

  • A Unified Security Budget

    John Conyers : Terrorism Targeting the US

    We need a unified security budget to coherently allocate dollars to the military, homeland security and peacemaking efforts abroad.

  • Out of Iraq

    Lynn Woolsey & Barbara Lee : Iraq War

    Elect Congressional candidates who promise to end the occupation of Iraq and bring our soldiers home.

    Insure that the federal purse supports a progressive vision of economic progress that benefits all Americans.

    Pass new legislation to insure the best healthcare for America's military personnel and make the Veterans Administration a model healthcare system.

  • Intelligent Reform

    John Tierney

    Rein in the Bush Administration's culture of official secrecy and restore Congressional oversight of intelligence operations.

  • Employee Free Choice

    George Miller : Labor

    Pass the Employee Free Choice Act to create more unions, keep workers safe from labor-law violations, preserve middle-class jobs and stabilize the economy.

  • More Media Owners

    Maurice Hinchey

    Stop the dumbing down of America: Enact real reform to prevent the shrinking market of ideas caused by concentration of media properties in the hands of the few.

    Pass new laws that reward companies that care about America, its workers and its communities.

  • A War We Can Win

  • The Right to Vote

    The time is ripe for progressives to revitalize the state of our union: Americans are ready to undo the damage of the Bush era and turn to a just and peaceful future.
